Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon first met in 2005, when he presented her with her Nickelodeon Award.Despite their instant attraction, Cannon said that he and the pop singer weren’t interested in dating each other at first because they’d both been through many ups and downs in their romantic relationships. He performed in her music video, Bye Bye, and after just a few weeks of dating, the legendary singer and Wild’ n Out host shocked fans by marrying.

Moroccan and Monroe, the couple’s fraternal twins, were born in 2011, fulfilling their dream of starting a family together. It seemed that Carey and Cannon had the ideal relationship and would be together forever from the outside. Unfortunately, the couple’s relationship ended just a few years after their twins were born. Aside from being heir to their parents’ investments, the twins seem to have inherited both of their parents’ outgoing personalities.
