Nick Cannon says ex-wife Mariah Carey is leaning on their children following the tragic loss of her mother and sister.
Mariah Carey is enjoying the company of her twins amid the heartbreaking loss of her mother and sister
The 55-year-old singer announced last month that her mom Patricia and sibling Alison had passed away on the same day, and the ‘Masked Singer’ host says the ‘Hero’ hitmaker is “doing the best that she possibly can” at this difficult time and is enjoying spending time with the former couple’s 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe as she is supported by those closest to her.
