Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon’s daughter, 14-year-old Monroe Cannon, is setting the record straight about her family dynamics — and the message is clear.

In an Instagram Story, 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!”
She tagged her twin, Moroccan Cannon, born in 2011, underscoring that he is her only full sibling. The concise post arrives as public curiosity continues to grow around Nick Cannon’s expanding family tree.
Monroe and Moroccan are the first children Cannon welcomed with Mariah Carey during their 2008–2016 marriage. Since then, Cannon has gone on to father ten additional children with five women.
Monroe’s wording — noting her “other half siblings” are significantly younger — reflects how she views her place within the broader blended family. Her decision to speak publicly hints at a desire to draw boundaries, or at the very least, to correct assumptions.
Cannon has previously described Monroe as “wise beyond her years,” while Carey has opted to stay quiet on her ex-husband’s personal life, saying it’s “best if I don’t talk about him… he can just be in his own world.”
Social Media Reacts
Her post sparked swift online chatter. Some applauded Monroe for asserting her identity, while others dissected her tone. The conversation quickly reignited debates around the realities of blended families — particularly when they play out in the spotlight.
Family dynamics experts note that defining sibling relationships can be an important form of self-expression for children navigating nontraditional family structures. Monroe’s message, brief but pointed, offers a rare view into how she sees herself within her father’s very public extended family.
Ultimately, she made her stance unmistakable: her bond with Moroccan stands apart, even as she acknowledges the rest of Cannon’s growing brood.
