Nick Cannon just spilled the beans on how Mariah Carey is holding up after the heartbreaking loss of both her mom and sister—yes, on the same day. Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Mariah’s life sometimes feels like it was scripted by a daytime soap?
In case you missed it, back in August, the iconic 55-year-old songstress behind the anthem of emotional meltdowns, “Emotions,” shared the devastating news. Both her mom Patricia and older sister Alison passed away on the same day. Talk about a tough day in the Carey universe.
Fast forward to now, and Nick Cannon—our favorite Masked Singer ringleader and Mariah’s ex-hubby from 2008 to 2016—is giving us the scoop on how she’s hanging in there.
“She’s doing the best she can, you know, given the circumstances,” Nick told Page Six, which is basically code for, “It’s rough, but she’s a warrior diva.” He added, “As a family, we just have to be there for each other, showing love and maybe sneaking in some high notes of support.” Classic Nick—always gotta add a little flair.
But wait, there’s more! Nick didn’t miss a chance to gush about their superstar-in-training twins, Monroe and Moroccan, who are now 13 going on 30. “She’s really having a great time with the kids,” Nick said, probably imagining the three of them performing impromptu concerts in their living room. “That’s the most important thing to her, seeing them support their mom like the tiny divas they are.”
So basically, despite everything, Mariah’s got her mini-me’s by her side, probably hitting those high notes and reminding the world that even in the toughest times, she’s still the queen of resilience, with just a hint of glitter.
