But perhaps the sentiment was best summed up by a fan who wrote, "Wow, knew that butterfly was gonna be fly when she grew up! Hope y'all have a wonderful relationship! 💕💕🦋"
This isn't the first time Monroe has stepped into the spotlight. In 2021, at age 10, she made her modeling debut in a national back-to-school campaign for OshKosh B’Gosh. The campaign, titled "Today is Someday," featured tributes to Mariah, Muhammad Ali, and Outkast through a series of short vignettes.
Monroe appeared as a young version of her mother, portraying Mariah Carey at age 10. The ad highlighted Mariah's early passion for music, her challenges growing up, and her message to young dreamers. The mom of two said she was drawn to the campaign's message of empowerment.
She explained that as a young girl, she had been determined to pursue her dreams, and now, as a mother, she finds joy in watching her children imagine and develop their own.
In 2023, Nick Cannon praised a viral TikTok moment featuring his daughter, Monroe, and ex-wife, Mariah.
The clip showed Monroe dancing and lip-syncing alongside North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian, to Mariah's 2009 track "It's a Wrap." When the girls' mothers joined in, the two playfully pushed them out of the frame.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Nick called the video "epic" and said he loved seeing it. He noted that Monroe clearly has the "entertainment bug" and said her bond with Mariah was evident. He added that it was beautiful to watch them have fun together, calling it a reflection of how families connect today in new ways.
