Nick Cannon Admits Having a Teenage Daughter Is ‘Horrifying,’ Jokes She ‘Lives at Sephora’: ‘Why Are You Putting That Stuff On?’

Nick Cannon is getting the hang of being a teenage girl dad.

As a guest on The Talk on Tuesday, Oct. 15, the Masked Singer host, 43, opened up about raising his 13-year-old twins, son Moroccan and daughter Monroe, whom he shares with ex-wife Mariah Carey. Though Cannon says he can “handle” Moroccan, the dad of 12 admits that raising teenagers, and especially a teen girl, is “horrifying.”

“I can actually handle my son because he is so much like me,” he shares, “But my daughter, she’s like, wearing make-up and taking two hours in the bathroom. Like what are you doing in there!”

“It’s scary,” the proud dad says, “because I’m just watching her evolve into this young woman and, I mean, I can’t stop it.”

He continues to discuss Monroe’s love of make-up, revealing that her favorite place to spend time with friends is Sephora.

“She lives at Sephora! Why are you putting that stuff on? Do you have another face I don’t know about?” Cannon jokes. He adds that while Monroe is shopping around for new beauty products to test out, he stands by the front of the store and patiently waits.

“I’m standing at the front of Sephora, and I’ve been in there for over an hour, I’d say,” he shares of the longest he’s ever been at the cosmetic conglomerate, adding that it takes extra long because “she goes with her friends.”

He then hilariously compares the store to a maze, saying, “There’s like a maze in the line, and I don’t know how the store works at all.”

In addition to his twin teens, Cannon shares sons Golden Sagon and Rise Messiah Cannon and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin with Abby De La Rosa; son Legendary Love with Bre Tiesi; and daughter Onyx Ice Cole with LaNisha Cole.

Cannon is father to two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie Cannon born on Dec. 14, 2022.
