Nick Cannon has revealed how Mariah Carey has been doing since the recent passing of her mother, Patricia Carey, and sister, Alison Carey.
On Wednesday, September 18, Page Six published an exclusive interview with Cannon. The outlet reportedly caught up with the 43-year-old on the red carpet of Fox Fall Press Day.
Additionally, Cannon explained that Carey is “doing the best that she possibly can, considering the circumstances.”
“But as a family, we just got to be there to support one another, show love,” the comedian added.
The 43-year-old explained that his ex-wife has been “really having a great time” with their 13-year-old twins, son Morrocan and daughter Monroe.
“That is, you know, the most important thing in the world to her, so its outstanding to see them supporting their mom the way they do,” Cannon added.
On September 14, Carey took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to show fans a glimpse of her recent time spent with their children.
“At the Great Wall of China! Someone shouldve warned me about heels (not that I wouldve listened),” Carey wrote at the time while sharing three photos of their visit to the popular landmark.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the passing of Patricia and Alison Carey was publicly revealed on August 26. At the time, Carey shared a public statement.
“My heart is broken that Ive lost my mother this past weekend. Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day,” Carey explained at the time.
Furthermore, the singer did not shed light on the incidents that led to the tragic outcome for both her mom and sister. However, she explained that she felt “blessed” that she was able to spend time with her mother before her passing. As previously reported, Carey noted her complex relationship with her mom and sister in her memoir, ‘The Meaning of Mariah Carey.’
According to Page Six, as the conversation continued, Cannon also opened up about raising teenagers with Carey. The 43-year-old reportedly called it the “scariest thing in the world.”
“My daughter, shes wearing makeup now,” he explained, speaking about Monroe. “She doesnt wear it a lot, luckily, but it scared me. Like, we were getting ready to go were in Malibu about to go to dinner, and I was like, ‘What is taking her so long?'”
Per Cannon, when he entered the 13-year-old’s room, he reportedly found a plethora of makeup and hair products.
“I was like, ‘Wow, youre just like your mom,'” he explained. “Its beautiful to see but scary all at the same time.”
