Mariah Carey’s twins Moroccan and Monroe have grown up in the spotlight, and they’re already growing to be so big, and their mom can’t believe it.
The 12-year-olds, who Mariah shares with her ex-husband Nick Cannon, appeared in a rare photo she posted on her Instagram.
Mariah, dressed in a denim jacket and a patterned scarf, smiled beside her daughter Monroe, who wore a pink Nirvana sweatshirt, while Monroe, incredibly, wore his mom’s merch. The two even sported matching headphones around their neck.
“DemTWEENS taking over!!!!” Mariah wrote of her kids, and fans immediately began bombarding the comments section with heart emojis as they gushed over the family-of-three.
“Always be dem babies,” one wrote, while another gushed: “Demtweens with the headphone and shirt game. A music appreciation moment,” and a third added: “Queen always serving looks! What a beautiful family, I honestly couldn’t be more happy for you! The family you DESERVE!”
Recently, the “We Belong Together” songstress shared an adorable set of photos capturing life at home with the twins while introducing a pair of new additions to the family.
“Summer prolonged… even though I try, I can’t let go! Introducing #DemKittens, the new adopted family members: Nacho & Rocky Jr.,” she wrote alongside a photo introducing their new kittens, quoting the lyrics to her own song “Can’t Let Go” from her 1991 debut record.
Mariah posted the picture of herself and her kids holding onto the tiny new kittens while inside what looked to be their family room, brightly painted in green and decorated with geometric colorful carpeting and a big screen TV.
