Mariah Carey’s Teens Roll Their Eyes at Glam Easter Egg Hunt
Let’s unpack this without trying *too* hard: Mariah Carey’s 13-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe Cannon, didn’t exactly jump for joy in their mom’s Easter extravaganza. On April 21, the “Always Be My Baby” superstar shared an Instagram carousel that felt part luxury photo shoot, part teenage endurance test. Carey, 56, captioned the post with her trademark mix of sass and sentiment—“The greatest gift of being a mom is getting your teenage kids to participate in your Easter hijinks! ????????????”—while Moroccan and Monroe stood side by side, clutching their pastel baskets and serving zero enthusiasm.
Picture this: the twins posing stiffly next to an Easter bunny who looked more alive than the teens did. Carey herself was a walking candy shop, decked in a bedazzled pink skirt set, fluffy hot-pink slides, matching basket in hand, and topped off with her bright Gucci chaise lounge rectangular sunglasses. The bunny even peered coyly out of her front door and driveway in a few snaps, as though trying to coax genuine smiles from her stoic offspring.
Click—and there’s a second slide of the twins finally tearing into chocolate eggs and treats, eyebrows mostly lowered. Carey’s play-by-play vibe mingled underlying pride with a hint of “please just look happy,” which teenage paparazzi fodder never fully captures. Between these reluctant Easter models, Carey’s solo shot of pure pink glam served as a reminder: mission “celebrate in style” was definitely accomplished on one front.
This mild saga follows a surprise cameo from Mom during Moroccan’s Twitch stream on April 3. Ten minutes into gaming with friends, Carey and Monroe strolled in, prompting Moroccan to cut his mic: “Sorry chat, my mom is here.” Fellow streamers instantly greeted the diva—“Hey, Mrs. Carey!”—as Monroe held up a dog and offered, “You wanna come here, mom?” Moroccan’s faux-exasperation peaked when he ordered, “Okay, y’all need to get out now… Mom, they can see you. They’re saying, ‘Hi Mariah, I love you!’ Oh my God.” He waved them off: “Can y’all please get out? Love you. Get out of my room.” Classic teen move, right?
Between Easter baskets and gaming livestream cameos, it’s clear the Cannon twins are mastering the art of teenage nonchalance under their superstar mama’s gush. Will they ever admit deep down they appreciated these pink-themed mom moments? Unlikely. But if anything trends faster than Carey’s Easter hashtags, it’s teen eye-roll content.
So yeah, that happened. Do with it what you will—but don’t expect Moroccan and Monroe to throw themselves at any more pastel props anytime soon.
