The father of 12 shares his twins with ex-wife Mariah Carey
Nick Cannon opened up his New Jersey mansion for a tour — with help from his and Mariah Carey’s twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon.
In a 30-minute YouTube video tour of his estate, the 44-year-old “super dad” and the two kids, 13, showed off the sprawling house, which includes “13 bathrooms,” a ball pit, a large Martin Luther King Jr. Bearbrick in a library, a Louis Vuitton Iron Man helmet and a massive slide.
“I put this slide in before I even had kids,” the father of 12 said in the video published on Dec. 31. “This was for me. I got tired of walking down the steps and going to the kitchen or going to the living room, so I said I want to be able to slide into a ball pit at the front of my house.”

Throughout the tour, Cannon mentioned ex-wife Carey several times. Although they split in 2016, they still co-parent “Roc” and “Roe.”
When Cannon and Monroe passed a guitar in the house, the proud dad said, “I’m teaching my daughter how to play guitar,” to which Roe replied, “I already know.”
The Masked Singer host then explained how Monroe “plays guitar in her mom’s show,” referring to Carey’s Christmas Time Tour.
Later, Cannon began to give the tour solo “because my kids actually have to be onstage with their mom, and I’m going to get in trouble if they’re late for the show.”

Cannon, who was diagnosed with lupus in 2012, also told a sentimental story about his journey with the illness when Monroe pointed to his Louis Vuitton Iron Man helmet in the house.
“I’m a huge Iron Man fan because Iron Man almost lost his life, and when he got down to the bottom, and they thought it was over, that’s when his superhero activated,” he said, before relating his chronic autoimmune disease that has no cure. “I connected with that because of my lupus, so when I got lupus, I was like, ‘That’s my superpower.’ ”
