Mariah Carey’s daughter Monroe stuns fans with her lookalike curls and confident charm
14-year-old Monroe Cannon surprises fans with striking resemblance to her superstar mom, sparking buzz about family bonds and beauty
Fans are doing a double take after Mariah Carey’s daughter, Monroe Cannon, posted playful new photos that show off not just her natural curls — but her unmistakable resemblance to her mom.
Monroe Cannon, the 14-year-old daughter of music legend Mariah Carey and entertainer Nick Cannon, recently shared a series of fun photos on Instagram that had fans talking. In the snaps, Monroe wore a red graphic tee over a black long sleeve shirt, playfully posing with winks, pouts, and even a cheeky tongue-out expression.
Her bouncy curls framed her face — a style that instantly reminded fans of Mariah in her early days. One follower commented, “OMG she looks like Mariah when she first came out!! So pretty!!” Another added, “Girl, you got beauty like MaMa diva Mariah ❤️.”

From her confident poses to her expressive eyes and iconic curls, Monroe’s natural charm shone through. Her simple caption, “🎬🎸,” hinted at a future in performance, possibly following in her parents’ showbiz footsteps.
Though Monroe usually keeps a low profile online, her latest photos drew major attention. Many fans praised not only her looks but her poise and confidence.
“She looks just like her mum, she has the same curls 😍,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “Adore the hair and eyebrows. Those eyebrows are divine ✨.”
The post also reopened conversations around her family background, especially after Monroe made a recent comment on her Instagram Story, clarifying that she has “ONE brother” — referring to her twin, Moroccan.
This sparked debate online, as Monroe is technically one of 12 children fathered by Nick Cannon. While some criticized the remark, many came to her defense. “She told no lie. They are her half-siblings. That’s not her problem that her father had all those children,” one supporter noted.
Monroe and her twin brother, Moroccan, were born in 2011 after Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon married in 2008. Monroe was named in honor of Mariah’s idol, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe.
Though their parents divorced in 2016, both have remained active in their children’s lives. Monroe even lent her voice to the animated film All I Want For Christmas Is You and appeared in the reality show Mariah’s World.
Since the divorce, Nick Cannon has welcomed ten more children with six different women, including Brittany Bell, Abby De La Rosa, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, and Alyssa Scott. One of Cannon’s children, Zen, sadly passed away from brain cancer at just five months old in 2021.
Despite growing up in the public eye, Monroe has stayed remarkably down-to-earth. Nick Cannon has spoken often about her wisdom and emotional maturity. After Zen’s passing, he called Monroe his “best therapist,” saying, “She’s so in tune and wise beyond her years.”
He also shared that Monroe embraces her firstborn twin status with pride. “She came out first and she lets everybody know it,” he joked.
Fans are hopeful that Monroe, with her talent, grace, and clear sense of self, continues to grow into her own spotlight — whether in entertainment or elsewhere.
With her mom’s curls, her dad’s humor, and a calm confidence all her own, Monroe Cannon is more than just a lookalike — she’s a star in the making. What do you think? Does Monroe take after Mariah? Let us know your thoughts!
