Mariah Carey’s birthday bash for her kids

Staying home to stay safe doesn’t mean life has to be all dull and boring. Yes, celebrations and fun doesn’t need to stop, as in the case of singer Mariah Carey’s twins, who had a virtual ninth birthday party amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The singer shared photos of her son and daughter, Moroccan and Monroe, wearing matching T-shirts that Carey had made for the occasion. In one photo, Carey’s kids were standing in front of a projector screen showing dozens of people in a group video call. “Happy Birthday Roc & Roe!!!! My babies are 9,” Carey captioned the post. “I love you so much #dembabies #virtualparty.”

Earlier, at the end of March, Carey herself celebrated her 50th birthday at home with her kids and shared photos of herself with a birthday cake with candles that read “12.”
