Mariah Carey built an iconic career with her 5-octave vocal range, earning her endless awards and accolades. The legendary singer married actor and comedian Nick Cannon on April 30, 2008, and welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan on April 30, 2011.
In an interview with OUT, Carey says she never saw motherhood as part of her future. “It’s unconditional love, and I never, ever thought I was going to have kids–ever.” She told the publication. “I remember as a child saying I’m never going to get married; I’m never going to have kids.”
