<p id=”par-1_70″>Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon share one of the most high-profile <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-relationships”>co-parenting relationships</a> in entertainment. The former couple, who were married from 2008 to 2016, are <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-didnt-want-children-marrying-nick-cannon.html/”>parents to twins Monroe and Moroccan</a>, now in their mid-teens. Despite their divorce, Carey and Cannon have maintained a cooperative approach to raising their children. Recently, while promoting her new album, Carey has dodged questions about Cannon left and right. Here’s what’s going on.</p>

<p id=”par-2_57″>Nick Cannon made headlines when he reportedly took out an <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-left-speechless-nick-cannon-10-million-insurance-policy-balls.html/”>insurance policy on his testicles for $10 million</a>, a move that underscores both his sense of humor and his savvy understanding of personal branding. The policy, obtained in 2024, originally started as a joke. However, Cannon went through with it, insuring each testicle for $5 million. </p>
<p id=”par-3_47″>The idea started when Cannon appeared in a commercial for Dr. Squatch, a company that sells natural personal care products. “Now that Dr. Squatch has insured my balls for $10 million, I’ve officially got the most valuable balls in the world,” Cannon says in the clip. </p>
<p id=”par-4_55″>“Dr. Squatch, who is like, they’re known for like manscaping and all that stuff,” Cannon said while speaking on <a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llTAqcPnsf0″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><em>Tea Time With Raven and Miranda</em></a>. “They were like, ‘Yo, a lot of celebrity women are insuring their legs in case something goes wrong.’ They were like, ‘What’s your most valuable asset?’” He replied, “My balls!”</p>
<p id=”par-5_27″>Cannon noted that he has the official insurance policy in his office. “If I happen to lose one, all the money goes to my kids,” he continued.</p>
<p id=”par-6_46″>Cannon is a father to 12 children with multiple partners, a family that has grown extensively over the past decade. His children range in age from toddlers to teenagers, with some of the most well-known being twins Moroccan and Monroe, whom he shares with Mariah Carey.</p>

<p id=”par-7_62″>Mariah Carey is often careful when speaking about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/nick-cannon-blaming-mariah-carey-having-12-kids.html/”>her relationship with Nick Cannon</a>. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2016 after eight years, citing irreconcilable differences. Despite their split, the former couple has maintained a cooperative co-parenting dynamic for their twins, Moroccan and Monroe. Today, they appear to share mutual respect, often coordinating schedules and attending important events for their children together.</p>
<p id=”par-8_21″>In September 2025, Carey spoke to Andy Cohen on <em>Watch What Happens Live</em>. And Cannon’s outrageous insurance policy came up. </p>
<p id=”par-9_21″>“When did this happen?” Carey asked, shocked by the knowledge that Cannon insured his testicles. “He announced this? Lord, help me.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_8″>“Are his balls worth $10 million?” Cohen asked.</p>
<p id=”par-11_11″>“I’ve got to go to the next question,” she answered, laughing.</p>
<p id=”par-12_7″>Fans couldn’t get enough of her response.</p>
<p id=”par-13_22″>“Only Mariah Carey would get away with pleading the fifth and not answering ANY question,” a fan commented with a crying-laughing emoji.</p>
<p id=”par-14_10″>“Mariah is the queen of dodging questions,” another fan noted.</p>

Mariah Carey Answered Whether She Wants Her Kids to Be in the ‘Horrible’ Entertainment Industry </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-15_21″>In another recent interview with CBS Mornings, <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/mariah-carey-said-best-not-talk-nick-cannon-asked-co-parenting.html/”>Mariah Carey completely swerved around a question</a> regarding how she and Nick Cannon co-parent.</p>
<p id=”par-16_28″>“I kind of feel like it’s best if I don’t talk about him,” Carey said, “because he can just be in his own world. No offense to him.”</p>
<p id=”par-17_42″>In September 2024, Cannon noted that Carey definitely doesn’t “want” him despite whatever rumors may persist. “She’s moved on from my crazy antics,” he told <a href=”https://people.com/nick-cannon-happy-mariah-carey-moved-on-from-crazy-antics-exclusive-8707705″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>. Cannon also noted that it must be “madness” to deal with him as a co-parent. </p>
<p id=”par-18_14″>All in all, Carey and Cannon put their kids first — and that’s that.</p>
