The Grammy award-winning singer, 56, and the Roll Bounce star welcomed their twins in April 2011, during their 6-year marriage. Despite their divorce, Carey and Cannon continue to support each other and their children, whom they’ve affectionately dubbed “dem kids.”
“They’re a lot, but they give me so much love in return. I wouldn’t be the same person without them,” Carey told PEOPLE. “I think Nick and I have done pretty well in co-parenting, staying friends with each other so that we can talk.”
Carey and Cannon have also been open about how they are raising their children to be humble. “I want my kids to understand that every child isn’t as fortunate as they are,” Cannon told PEOPLE in 2012. That same sentiment was echoed by Carey in 2019: “It’s hard, but I try to keep them grounded so they don’t think everything is just handed to them.”

The Drumline star told PEOPLE in March that while he’s “learning something every single day” from his children, there’s one thing he learns “more than anything.”
“I learn compassion more than anything, though,” he explained, adding that he’s also learning “to be more of a vessel” for his kids while acknowledging that he doesn’t have all the answers. “When it comes to this, I’m learning every single day, and my kids are the best teachers. And, really everything that I am offering up to them, I feel like it’s just God working through me.”
