Mariah Carey is giving fans another glimpse of her family life.
The singer recently appeared in a photo with her 15-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon. The casual family moment was shared on Instagram by Moroccan on September 9.
In the photo, Moroccan stands beside his famous mother while Monroe takes the picture. The relaxed snapshot offers a rare look at the siblings away from the stage.
Mariah Carey Twins: Moroccan and Monroe Share a Sweet Family Moment
Moroccan shared the photo on Instagram with the brief caption “on a lark”.
In the image, he poses next to Carey and holds up three fingers. Meanwhile, Monroe is behind the camera.
The simple snapshot quickly drew attention because of the family connection. Carey has generally kept the focus on her children’s individual interests as they have grown older.
The twins are Carey’s children with entertainer Nick Cannon, whom she married in 2008. The couple divorced in 2016.
Today, Moroccan and Monroe are teenagers and are beginning to establish identities of their own.
Carey Has Praised Her Twins’ Creativity
Carey has previously spoken about the talents of both children.
In a 2022 interview with E! News, the singer described Moroccan as a technical talent and praised both twins for their creativity. She also said she wanted to support them as they discovered what they wanted to pursue.
Music is naturally part of their family environment. Carey is one of the most successful singers in music history, and both children have occasionally joined her during public appearances and performances.
However, Carey has emphasised the importance of letting her children find their own interests rather than simply following in her footsteps.
Moroccan and Monroe Have Joined Their Mom on Stage
The twins have appeared alongside Carey at several events over the years.
They made a memorable appearance during their mother’s performance at the 2022 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. They have also joined her on stage during previous concerts and tours.
Their public appearances have offered fans glimpses of the close relationship between Carey and her children.
At the same time, the twins have grown up largely outside the constant spotlight surrounding their mother.
A Family Connection to Music
Having Mariah Carey as a mother naturally gives Moroccan and Monroe a close connection to the music industry.
Carey’s career includes numerous major chart achievements. Her holiday classic “All I Want for Christmas Is You” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2019, giving her the Guinness World Records title for the highest-charting holiday song on the U.S. Hot 100 by a solo artist.
The song has continued to set records. Guinness World Records currently lists it as having reached 22 total weeks at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, following its latest chart-topping run in January 2026.
That musical legacy gives the twins an unusual perspective as they grow up.
Still, their mother’s comments suggest that Carey is more interested in supporting their individual paths than deciding their futures for them.
What Comes Next for Moroccan and Monroe?
At 15, Moroccan and Monroe are entering an important stage of their lives.
Their recent family photo is a small but personal glimpse into that transition. Rather than focusing on their famous parents, the twins are increasingly becoming known as young people with their own interests and personalities.
For Carey, that appears to be something worth celebrating.
As the siblings continue to grow, fans will likely remain interested in whether either twin eventually chooses a career in music or entertainment.
For now, however, the latest photo is simply a snapshot of a mother and her children enjoying a relaxed family moment.
