Will Mariah Carey’s daughter Monroe follow in her footsteps? Not only has the 11-year-old ‘mini Mimi’ sung with mum onstage – and adorably matched outfits – she modelled in an Oshkosh TV ad too
- The daughter of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, and twin sister of Moroccan, Monroe is named after Marilyn Monroe – and recently matched black outfits and curls with mum
- When Cannon’s five-month-old son Zen died in December 2021, Monroe was his ‘best therapist’; he also appeared on her TikTok lip-synching with her to mum’s hit song ‘Emotions’
Living music legend Mariah Carey is a woman of many hats, but being a mum to the pair she fondly calls “dem kids” probably tops them all. Twins Monroe and Moroccan were born to the 52-year-old chart-topper and her ex-husband Nick Cannon in 2011, and are now both 11 years old.
Recently, she made the internet go “aww” by twinning with mum in matching black outfits and curls, seen in a photo posted by Carey on social media on October 23.
So what else do we know about the adorable 11-year-old who goes by the nickname “Roe”?
She is being raised to be humble
Ex-power couple Carey and Cannon welcomed their twin children on April 30, 2011, which was the same day as their third wedding anniversary. Even after the two celebrities parted ways, they stayed friends and co-parented their kids over the years.
Monroe has forged a tight bond with her twin brother Moroccan, and their parents are raising them with a humble upbringing despite their massive fame and fortune.
“It’s hard, but I try to keep them grounded so they don’t think everything is just handed to them,” Carey told People magazine in 2019.
She has been nicknamed ‘mini Mimi’
