To celebrate the upcoming release of the singer\u2019s first album in seven years, Here for It All<\/em>, she appeared in a pre-taped segment for CBS Mornings <\/em>on Wednesday, where she was interviewed by Gayle King. <\/p>\nOne of the questions the journalist asked her was how she managed co-parenting her 14-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, with Cannon.<\/p>\n
\u201cI kind of feel like it\u2019s best if I don\u2019t talk about him, because he can just be in his own world,\u201d the \u201cAll I Want for Christmas\u201d singer said. \u201cNo offense to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following Carey and Cannon\u2019s divorce, he has welcomed ten more children: sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah, and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion and Zillion, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; daughter Halo Marie and llate son Zen with Alyssa Scott; and daughter, Onyx Ice, with LaNisha Cole.<\/p>\n

They spend time with him, and they have a good time; they spend time with me, and they have a good time,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to make sure I\u2019m always fair about the situation because it\u2019s tough to grow up with divorced parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, during an episode of his Nick Cannon @ Night<\/em> podcast from last month, Cannon said he doesn\u2019t believe in the term \u201cco-parenting.\u201d<\/p>\n\u201cThe label co-parenting, I\u2019ve always kind of had an issue,\u201d Cannon said. \u201cBecause why do we have to have the co, we\u2019re just parents. When you start throwing labels on things, I think it does more harm than help and can get very dangerous, because then everybody else has a preconceived notion of what you’re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
He confessed that while he hasn\u2019t \u201cfigured out\u201d how to raise his children with a half-dozen women, he approaches it with a certain perspective.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I just step into every situation with respect and compassion and individuality,\u201d Cannon explained. \u201cThat’s the other thing I always do with anyone I’m involved with in my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then acknowledged that he doesn\u2019t \u201cbunch\u201d the mothers of his 12 children together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really try my hardest not to be like, \u2018Oh yeah, my baby mamas,\u2019\u201d he continued. \u201cUnless I\u2019m telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything. Everyone wants to be treated like an individual with respect and compassion.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, according to Cannon, the six mothers of his children don\u2019t get along. \u201cDo you know six women anywhere that get along?\u201d he said, noting that the women don\u2019t necessarily have to be friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have their own lives, they raise their children the way they want,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
