Mariah Carey dodges question about co-parenting with ex-husband Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey has awkwardly avoided a question about co-parenting with her ex-husband Nick Cannon.
Carey and Cannon share 14-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe, just two of his 12 offspring with his six former partners.
In an interview with Gayle King, the All I Want For Christmas singer was asked how she navigates co-parenting when Cannon's personal life and dating history are so public.

"Hmmm," she said, stopping before saying, "I kind of feel like it's best if I don't talk about him because he can just be in his own world."
"No offence to him," she quickly added.
The singer and Cannon finalised their divorce in November 2016.
After their divorce, he had 10 more children with five other women.

Carey rarely discusses Cannon's other children or his dating history.
Earlier this year, Cannon said he doesn't like the term "co-parent" while answering a question on his Nick Cannon @ Night podcast.
He was asked how he managed "multiple co-parenting relationships while dating".
Cannon replied that he "always kind of had an issue" with the term "co-parenting" and other labels, instead preferring to consider his role as a father as simply "parenting".

"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," Cannon said.
Cannon, 44, also bristled at the term "baby mamas" to describe the women with whom he shares children with.
"I don't bunch them together. I really try my hardest not to be like, 'Oh yeah, my baby mamas', you know, unless I'm telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything," he said.
Earlier this month, he said that having 12 kids was a trauma response, and also said he was being "careless."
"It wasn't like I was acting out. It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it, because I had the money [and] because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move," he said.
