Mariah Carey shares twin son and daughter, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, with ex-husband Nick Cannon
Before Mariah Carey became a famous musician, she struggled to find love and happiness within her broken family — a goal that didn’t change with musical success.
She confessed, 'I had to stop making myself available to be hurt by them,' noting that she continued to have a “complicated” dynamic with Patricia until her death in August 2024. Alfred, who grew up in New York, died in July 2022 after battling a rare form of cancer called bile duct. He was 72. Prior to his passing, Mariah had reconnected with her father, who served in the military during his youth. She has since honored his legacy in her song “Sunflowers for Alfred Roy” and in October 2022, she restored his vintage sports car on his birthday.Mariah’s mother was a Juilliard-trained opera singer, who after giving up her career to start a family became a vocal coach.
Despite their conflicts, Mariah said via a statement in August 2024, 'My heart is broken that I’ve lost my mother this past weekend,' following her death.Alison was the oldest of Mariah’s siblings. Alison died on the same day as her and Mariah’s mother, Patricia, in August 2024. She was 63. “Sadly, in a tragic turn of events, my sister lost her life on the same day,” Mariah said in a statement, confirming Alison’s passing.
Mariah filed a rebuttal, claiming, 'The story of Ms. Carey's rise from a dysfunctional and sometimes violent family environment has significant public value, particularly to any young person who may find her/himself stuck in similarly harsh and dispiriting circumstances and who can benefit from the inspiration to employ their talents in pursuit of their dreams,” according to Page Six.
