Mariah Carey’s Twins Shine in Christmas Photo, Dad Nick Cannon Absent

UPDATE: Mariah Carey’s twins, Monroe and Moroccan Cannon, are making headlines as they celebrate Christmas with their mother, showcasing their transformation into young teenagers. The 14-year-old twins posed alongside Carey in a festive Instagram post that has captivated fans just moments ago.

In the December 2025 post, Carey, 56, beams with pride as she stands between her twins, both of whom sport matching “All I Want for Christmas is You” sweatshirts featuring their iconic mom. The photo reveals a glamorous Carey dressed in a striking long-sleeved, red, glittering dress, complete with black tights and heels, highlighting her festive spirit.

The absence of their father, Nick Cannon, 45, raises eyebrows as he was notably missing from the holiday celebration. While Cannon has taken festive photos with his other children’s mothers, including Abby De La Rosa and Brittany Bell, he did not join Carey and their children for this year’s Christmas festivities. Earlier this week, he was seen spending time with Monroe, hinting at some family connections despite the split.

Carey’s festive photos come shortly after she shared images from Christmas Eve, featuring a visit from Santa Claus, solidifying her role as a dedicated mother during the holiday season. The twins’ outfits and the joyful atmosphere in the photos emphasize their close bond with their mother.

In a surprising twist, Monroe recently took to Instagram to clarify her family dynamics, stating, “I only have ONE brother,” tagging her twin Moroccan. This message, which subtly hints at her feelings towards her numerous half-siblings, has sparked conversations among fans and followers about family relations within Cannon’s large brood.

Cannon is a father to multiple children, including son Golden “Sagon” and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, twin sons Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with De La Rosa, and others with different partners. He also faced the tragedy of losing his son Zen to a brain tumor in December 2021, adding a layer of complexity to his family dynamics.

The striking visuals of Carey with her twins and the emotional engagement through Monroe’s candid Instagram message resonate with fans, prompting discussions about family, love, and the evolving relationships between siblings.

As the holiday season continues, fans are left wondering about the future interactions between Cannon and Carey’s family, and how this large family unit will navigate their unique dynamics moving forward.
