Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s daughter, Monroe Cannon, is speaking out in her own words. The 13-year-old took to Instagram on November 13 to clear up persistent confusion about her family structure, offering a rare personal statement about her relationship with her father and his other children.
In a brief but direct message shared on her Instagram Story from her account, @roecannon, Monroe wrote, “Clearing something up, guys! I only have ONE brother who is @moroccan.cannon. I do have other half-siblings from my dad, but they are all many many years younger than me!”
Her post quickly drew attention from fans who have long followed the dynamic between Monroe, her twin brother Moroccan, and Cannon’s growing family. Nick Cannon has made headlines for years around having children.
Monroe and Moroccan, whom Carey has affectionately called “Dem Babies” since their birth in 2011, remain the singer’s only children. Cannon, meanwhile, is father to 12 children, many of whom are toddlers and infants born in recent years. Monroe’s comments appeared to respond to ongoing social media chatter that often groups all of Cannon’s children together without acknowledging the different relationships and age gaps within the family.

Her statement underscores the close bond she shares with Moroccan. As her “one brother,” he is the sibling she grew up with, sharing not only the same parents but the same home life and public scrutiny that comes with having two high-profile parents. By contrast, Monroe’s half-siblings are significantly younger. Her reference to them being “many many years young” suggests the wide age divide and explains why she experiences those relationships differently.
For Carey, who has maintained a protective approach to her children’s privacy, Monroe’s decision to speak up signals a moment of growing independence. While the Grammy-winning singer rarely comments on Cannon’s expanding family, Monroe’s message shows she is beginning to shape her own narrative as she navigates adolescence in the public eye.
Her clarification also offered a reminder that the headlines around Cannon’s personal life involve real children establishing their identities. Monroe’s calm, straightforward tone stood out as she set gentle boundaries and corrected assumptions without placing blame.
In asserting her own voice, Monroe gave fans a glimpse of how she sees her place within a much-discussed family, while reaffirming the steady twin bond at the center of her world.
