There’s something charming about a photo that makes you stop scrolling. Nick Cannon’s latest Instagram post did exactly that, showing him with his 14-year-old twins, Moroccan “Roc” and Monroe “Roe,” during a night out at Knott’s Scary Farm in Buena Park, California.

The snapshot instantly caught attention for one reason: the twins are nearly as tall as their 45-year-old dad. The trio posed with the park’s creepy characters, and Cannon, ever the proud father of twelve, stood in the middle with a huge smile and his arms around his two oldest kids.

“Last night was a Thriller @knottsscaryfarm. The whole gang pulled up! @roecannon @moroccan.cannon — these two love scaring the life out of themselves! #scaryfarm,” he captioned the post.

A Major Growth Spurt

Born on April 30, 2011, Roc and Roe are now full-fledged teenagers and growing fast. Both sported casual looks for the outing, wearing jeans, dark tops, and tan shoes. Cannon kept things relaxed too, in a black hoodie, matching sweats, a Yankees cap, and sneakers.

Fans couldn’t help but flood the comments, marveling at how much the twins have grown. What was once a family of toddlers in coordinated outfits is now a trio of nearly-equals in height. It’s the kind of photo that reminds every parent how quickly childhood disappears.

Co-Parenting and Family Balance

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, who were married from 2008 to 2016, continue to co-parent their twins with care and consistency. Despite their busy schedules and public lives, they’re clearly devoted to creating meaningful family moments.

However, Carey has made it clear she prefers to keep her co-parenting situation private. During a recent interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, when asked how she navigates parenting with Cannon’s very public lifestyle, Carey replied calmly, “I kinda feel like it’s best if I don’t talk about him because he can just be in his own world.”

Even post-divorce, Cannon and Carey continue to share moments that center on their kids’ happiness. It feels refreshingly normal. For all the fame surrounding their family, this was a simple night out.

The twins are no longer “Mariah and Nick’s little ones” — they’re becoming their own people, with their own presence. As they step deeper into their teen years, expect more glimpses of Roc and Roe expressing their individuality.
