She didn’t stop there, as she also gave Moroccan and Monroe a shoutout for being “good, nice kids.”
“They’re kind-hearted people, and I really enjoy being around them and watching them grow up into the people that they’re ultimately going to become.”
As far as what her preteen children are currently into, Mariah says they’re both on their sports grind.
“They’re into activities like physical sports and stuff like that, which I was hoping they would be, because when they were little, I had them doing that. Then, when it was COVID, they really couldn’t go anywhere and do anything. So now they’re both really enjoying activities and sports and all of that.”
Looking ahead at the upcoming holiday season, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Christmas” also declared, “What I want for my kids for Christmas is to just enjoy themselves, be happy, enjoy being with family, and feel loved.”
