Mariah Carey's daughter Monroe on Nick Cannon's other kids: 'I only have ONE brother'

The teenage daughter of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon is setting the record straight about her family ties.

Monroe Cannon — who along with her twin brother, Moroccan are the only children from their parents’ marriage — made a rare comment about her father’s other children.

Following his 2014 divorce from the pop music superstar, Cannon has been a baby-making machine, fathering 10 more children with five different women.

Now 45, the “Wild N’ Out” star’s massive brood also includes Rise Messiah, Powerful Queen, and Golden Sagon with model Brittany Bell; twin boys Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; Legendary Love with “Selling Sunset” star Bre Tiesi; Onyx with LaNisha Cole; and Halo Marie with Alyssa Scott, with whom he also shared infant son Zen, who died of brain cancer in 2021.

In an Instagram story, Monroe clarified how she sees her half-siblings.

“Clearing something up guys, I only have ONE brother,” Monroe, wrote on Wednesday, tagging Moroccan.

She added: “I do have other half siblings from my dad but they are all many many years younger than me.”

The hands-off approach to her father’s other children echoes a recent comment her mother made when asked about their co-parenting style.

“I kind of feel like it’s best if I don’t talk about him, because he can just be in his own world,” Carey told Gayle King while promoting her latest album in September. “No offense to him,” nonchalantly she added.

 

The “Queen of Christmas” offered more insight during another interview months before.

“How do I say this? They spend time with him, and they have a good time; they spend time with me, and they have a good time,” she said in a July interview with Harper’s Bazaar. “I want to make sure I’m always fair about the situation because it’s tough to grow up with divorced parents.”

Cannon, on the other hand, revealed that he doesn’t believe in the term “co-parenting.”

“The label co-parenting, I’ve always kind of had an issue,” Cannon said on his “Nick @ Night” podcast in August. “Because why do we have to have the co, we’re just parents. When you start throwing labels on things, I think it does more harm than help and can get very dangerous, because then everybody else has a preconceived notion of what you’re doing.”

The host of “The Masked Singer,” often makes light of his proclivity to procreate.

Last June, he partnered with men’s personal care brand Dr. Squatch to take out a $10 million insurance policy on his testicles.

“Haters say it’s time for me to stop having kids and put this super sperm to rest,” Cannon said in a statement, “but I’m doubling down on these valuable balls and my future kids.”
