Mariah Carey's Daughter Inherited Her Voice - Her Single Mom Hand in Hand Helps To Follow Her Stage Dream

• Mariah Carey is one of the world's most well-known singers on the stage, but the iconic songstress is also a wonderful mom at home.

• Carey's family was poor growing up, so she did everything possible to create a better life for her twins.

• The "All I Want for Christmas Is You" star passed her singing talents onto her daughter.

Mariah Carey might live a life of luxury now, but her upbringing was anything but glitzy and glamorous. Her family was poor, and she didn't experience a Christmas with many gifts under a big shiny tree.

The singer remembered receiving an unusual gift during one festive season. It was a wrapped-up orange and not the type of present a little girl longed for.

Mariah spoiled her kids because she wanted to give them a memorable Christmas every year. Amid the Christmas glitter, the singer still ensured her kids counted their blessings and knew how lucky they were.

As a young woman, Mariah went to work wearing her mother's busted shoes and knew what it felt like to struggle, so giving her loved ones a wonderful festive experience was something she took pride in.

Mariah Carey Thought She Would Never Be a Mother

Mariah was married to television host Nick Cannon for six years, and the couple welcomed twins Monroe Cannon and Moroccan Scott Cannon. But things were not always easy.

The Songbird Supreme once stated: "I never thought I was going to have kids." After the birth of her twins, she was relieved because she had suffered a previous miscarriage that made her anxious.

The significant loss left a mark on Mariah and made her doubly grateful when her twins were born. When the star's relationship with Nick ended in 2014, she refused to let it overshadow her happiness.

The proud mom remained focused on raising her babies and had a healthy co-parent agreement with Nick. The former couple was supportive of each other and put their kids first.

A source revealed that Mariah was happy for her former spouse and only wanted the best for him. In 2019, the Christmas Queen said:

"I think Nick and I have done pretty well in co-parenting, staying friends with each other so that we can talk."

Mariah shared that becoming a mom changed everything about her life. From her outlook to how she lived every day, nothing was the same after her twins became the center of her world.

A Devoted Single Mom Who Gives Her Kids the Best

The songstress made sure her children had the opportunity to pursue their dreams, and the youngsters knew they were loved. Their mom wasn't afraid to gush over them.

The twins turned 11 in 2022, and the world is getting more glimpses into their lives. While Mariah wants them to stay grounded, she never skimps on giving them the best.

Since her rise to fame, the successful singer shared that her family's festive celebrations were always over the top and a big deal, noting:

"I kind of love making their holidays great. I like Christmas morning, them opening up a lot of gifts. It's fun. There's really nothing like it."

The world also had its first listen to Monroe's beautiful voice on December 9, 2022. Mariah and her daughter donned shimmering white gowns as they joined each other on stage.

Fans in the audience erupted with joy and couldn't wait to hear the duo sing together on stage for the first time. Mariah told the crowd that she never forced her kids into a musical box. However, her precious girl wanted to sing.

Monroe's smooth voice proved she undoubtedly inherited her mom's stunning pipes. From her first note, it was evident Monroe was a blooming star. She took after her mom, and one fan commented:

"Oh my gosh. What a treat. This was so beautiful. Monroe has such a sweet, whispery register just like her mom. The whistles were just heavenly."

Countless others agreed that Monroe sounded just like her mom. The iconic star was beaming as she watched her daughter sing a Christmas favorite song. The two harmonized perfectly as they graced watchers with the melody and gentle words of "Away In A Manger."

Mariah credited her kids for healing her daily; their unconditional love meant the world to her. She was happy to have an actual family without the concern that they would hurt her or repeat the things she endured as a child.

While they did not celebrate birthdays, the star revealed that becoming a mom was the best thing. She said:

"Birthing day was the greatest gift ever."

Mariah's life revolved around her children, and she wouldn't have it any other way. She embraced being a single mom with open arms, and while she couldn't go out every night, she preferred watching movies and having fun with her kids.

With unending support from their mom, the sky is the limit for Monroe and Moroccan. In a video shared on Mariah's Instagram, a young Monroe had her eyes set on a bright future. She dreamed about being a star and expressed:

"Someday it's going to be different. The melodies that live in my head, someday they'll live at the top of the charts."

Fans were thrilled to see Monroe follow in Mariah's footsteps, and many couldn't wait to hear more from the young songstress, who was just as talented as her mom.
