Overview

• Carey briefly sidestepped a query from Gayle King on Sept. 24, saying she prefers not to discuss her ex while promoting her forthcoming album Here For It All.
• The exchange quickly circulated online, with many users praising her restraint and focus on privacy.
• Carey, 56, and Cannon, 44, share 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe after marrying in 2008 and finalizing their divorce in 2016.
• Cannon, who now has 12 children with six women, recently described his post-divorce choices as a trauma response and has questioned the usefulness of the co-parenting label.
• In July, Carey emphasized fairness so the twins enjoy time with both parents, and reporting does not indicate any changes to custody or living arrangements.
