Mariah Carey Avoids Discussing Co-Parenting with Nick Cannon Amid His 12-Child Fatherhood

Mariah Carey has expressed reluctance to discuss her co-parenting relationship with ex-husband Nick Cannon, emphasizing that he is in his own world and preferring to keep their lives separate despite sharing 14-year-old twins. Carey noted that their twins spend quality time with both parents and acknowledged the challenges children face growing up with divorced parents, striving to be fair in her approach. Cannon recently described his decision to have 12 children as a trauma response to his divorce from Carey, admitting to being careless and frivolous during that period, and suggested that had he done the inner work earlier, things might have been different. Carey has maintained that they have managed to co-parent reasonably well and remain friends for their children's sake, even as Cannon has children with multiple other women. The dynamics between Carey and Cannon reflect a complex relationship marked by past difficulties but a shared commitment to their children’s well-being. Carey also opened up about personal losses recently, adding depth to her public persona beyond co-parenting challenges.
