Mariah Carey’s twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon—affectionately known as Roc and Roe—are no longer the toddlers who first captured the public’s heart. As of late 2024, the "dem babies" have officially entered their mid-teens, turning 14 and rapidly carving out their own unique identities, often in the spotlight of their superstar parents, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

The twins' lives are a fascinating blend of ultra-private luxury and very public, Gen Z-style celebrity.
The latest updates show a dynamic shift in their public persona. Monroe is frequently noted for her striking resemblance to her famous mother, while Moroccan is embracing the digital age with a popular Twitch stream that has already become the site of a hilarious, viral "mom-crasher" moment. Their journey is a testament to growing up in a modern, blended celebrity family, navigating fame, and figuring out what it means to be the children of two of the biggest names in music and television.

Roc and Roe’s Viral Moments and Emerging Talents in 2024
As they enter their mid-teens, Roc and Roe are moving beyond simple family photos and starting to make their own headlines. Their interests are a perfect reflection of their famous parents: one is embracing music and the spotlight, while the other is mastering the digital frontier.
1. Moroccan’s Viral Twitch Stream Takeover
Moroccan "Roc" Cannon has firmly established himself as a Gen Z gamer and content creator. In 2024, he gained significant media attention after his mother, Mariah Carey, hilariously "invaded" his Twitch livestream. During a casual chat with his followers, Roc's superstar mom walked into the frame, causing a moment of teenage embarrassment that quickly went viral across the internet. The unexpected cameo, which also included a brief appearance by Monroe, offered fans a rare, unscripted glimpse into the family's home life and highlighted Roc's passion for the gaming world.
2. Monroe’s Striking Resemblance and Musical Ambitions
Monroe "Roe" Cannon is frequently noted for her incredible likeness to Mariah Carey, with many fans commenting that she is a "mini-Mimi." Beyond her looks, Monroe is actively pursuing her mother’s musical legacy. She has been described as a "special duet partner" for her mom and has expressed a clear interest in following in her footsteps. Monroe has already dipped her toes into the professional world, appearing with her brother and mother to sing the theme song, "In The Mix," for Nick Cannon’s show mixed-ish.
3. The Diva’s Daughter at the Olivia Rodrigo Concert
In a major public outing in July 2024, Mariah Carey took her twins to see pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo in concert. The moment was particularly special for Monroe, with Mariah sharing that she gave her daughter the "best night of her life." This appearance further solidifies Monroe’s place in the pop culture landscape and showcases her growing taste for contemporary music, a world her mother knows better than anyone.
The Unique Co-Parenting Strategy of Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon
One of the most talked-about aspects of the twins' lives is the dynamic co-parenting relationship between their famous parents. Despite their 2016 divorce, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have successfully maintained a unified front for their children, a topic that has seen a nuanced update in 2024.
4. A "Blunt" Approach to Public Co-Parenting
While the former couple has generally been open about "staying friends" and doing "pretty well in co-parenting," Mariah Carey recently offered a more candid perspective on the topic. In a 2024 interview, she was "blunt" about her reluctance to discuss the co-parenting dynamic with Nick Cannon extensively in public. She emphasized that her focus is solely on her children and her own life, a move that suggests a boundary-setting approach to protect the twins' privacy as they get older and media attention intensifies. This is a fresh take on the standard celebrity co-parenting narrative, prioritizing the children's well-being over public commentary.
5. The Blended Family Dynamic
The twins are part of an incredibly large and complex blended family, given Nick Cannon's numerous other children. Roc and Roe frequently spend time with their father and their half-siblings, participating in a modern, extended family structure. This exposure to a diverse family dynamic is a key part of their upbringing, teaching them adaptability and unconditional family love, even if their mother rarely comments on the specifics of the situation.
6. Preparing for Entertainment Careers
Mariah Carey has been very vocal about her supportive, yet cautious, stance on her children pursuing careers in entertainment. She has stated that she is open to Roc and Roe entering the industry, but only if they truly desire it. This is a significant development, as it signals that the twins are actively exploring their professional futures. Monroe's singing and Roc's digital content creation are not just hobbies; they are potential career paths being nurtured by two industry veterans.
7. The Mid-Teen Evolution: From "Dem Babies" to Young Adults
The biggest update in 2024 is simply their age. Turning 14 is a major milestone, marking the shift from childhood to young adulthood. The twins are showing distinct personality traits: Monroe, the poised, musical prodigy with a flair for fashion, and Moroccan, the tech-savvy gamer who is comfortable creating his own online community. Their 14th birthday celebration, while perhaps more low-key than previous lavish parties, was a quiet acknowledgment of their evolving maturity and independence, setting the stage for their future as major figures in the next generation of celebrity talent.
Roc and Roe’s journey is a fascinating case study in modern celebrity parenting. As they continue to grow, fans—the loyal Lambs—will undoubtedly be watching closely to see which of their parents' colossal footsteps they choose to follow, or if they forge an entirely new path for themselves.
