Nick Cannon’s firstborns, Moroccan and Monroe, 14, and almost as tall as their dad!
Recently, The Masked Singer host shared a new family photo featuring his 14-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. The picture features the father and his two eldest children outside Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, California. The 45-year-old is standing between the siblings with his arms wrapped around their shoulders, Cannon grinned from ear to ear as the trio posed in front of the Halloween-themed attraction.
“Last night was a Thriller @knottsscaryfarm The whole gang pulled up! @roecannon @moroccan.cannon these two love scaring the 💩 out of themselves! 🤣 #scaryfarm,” he captioned the post.
The twins, whom Cannon shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey, looked every bit the teenagers as they nearly towered over their famous dad.
The Wild ‘N Out host’s blended family includes 12 children from six different women. In addition to Moroccan and Monroe, he shares sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole. He also shares two children with Alyssa Scott, son Zen, who tragically passed away at five months old in 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie.
While speaking with People Magazine at the ESSENCE Festival of Culture, Cannon opened up about balancing life as a father of 12, calling his approach to parenting both “nontraditional” and “unorthodox.”
“I love my kids unconditionally, and there’s nothing more important than my children, so it’s a learning lesson of love for me every single day,” he said. “The number one thing is just to be present and to be able to say, ‘Hey, I’m here, we’re growing together.’”
Nick added that he hopes to redefine what modern fatherhood looks like.
“But also to put a different face on the fatherhood, too, because you see it in so many different ways now that you didn’t see before,” he continued. “You can be present and you can have multiple relationships. We’re getting so many different flavors of how fatherhood can look.”
And for Cannon, love is what ties it all together.
“I always tell everybody it’s the proof is in the pudding, so we’re gonna see,” he said. “As these children grow up and they’re surrounded with love, all I can do is pray that they can have an open and loving life because they see what that is in a very, like you said, non-traditional, unorthodox way, but it’s still filled with love.”
