The singer wrote in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that before meeting Cannon, she had no interest in being a mother. But after they met, things changed. ″Our desire to have children became a force of nature and why we got married so quickly," she wrote. The couple divorced in 2014 after six years of marriage, but remain amicable and spend time together with their now 10-year-old kids. Cannon attributed their friendliness to their desire to model unconditional love to their kids. "Whenever we can show that — even if we're not together, [that] we love each other unconditionally — and become that fine example to our children, they'll grow up to be good human beings, hopefully," Cannon told PEOPLE. 02 of 18 Moroccan & Monroe Fresh Air Fund/WireImage During their time as a couple, the two had fun dressing up with their twins for Halloween. The family suited up as The Incredibles one year, and have since enjoyed getting into the Halloween spirit every year since. 03 of 18 Moroccan & Monroe Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon and their children. Nick Cannon/Instagram Cannon told PEOPLE in December 2020 that he and Carey have found a harmonious balance when it comes to co-parenting — though in the past, he has admitted he doesn't love that term. "It's funny when they say 'co-parenting' — that phrase is a little redundant," Cannon told PEOPLE. "You can't co-parent, you have to parent, and that's what we do well because when it comes to our children, we're selfless individuals — they're first." 04 of 18 Powerful Queen & Golden Sagon Cannon and then-girlfriend Brittany Bell were given the best Christmas gift in 2020: the birth of their second child together, a daughter named Powerful Queen Cannon.

THANK YOU GOD ♥️," she added. 05 of 18 Golden Sagon When Golden joined the family in 2017, Cannon shared his elation in a since-deleted Instagram post.
