Mariah Carey is a proud mother to two teenagers!
The singer's twins Monroe and Moroccan, whom she shares with ex-husband Nick Cannon, turn 15 on April 30, 2026. And Carey has admitted the two — affectionately nicknamed Roc and Roe or Dem Babies — can be a handful.
"They're a lot, but they give me so much love in return. I wouldn't be the same person without them," Carey previously told PEOPLE. "I think Nick and I have done pretty well in co-parenting, staying friends with each other so that we can talk," she added of Cannon, from whom she split in 2015.
In commemoration of Dem Babies' 15th birthdays, see their cutest pics with their legendary mom.
