Nick Cannon Reveals "Double Standard" Dating Rules for His, Mariah Carey's Twins Monroe and Moroccan

Nick Cannon said he allows his 15-year-old son to date, but he is more protective of his daughter and calls it a double standard.

  • On Saturday, May 2, Nick Cannon revealed during the "TMZ Podcast" he allows his 15-year-old son, Moroccan, to date but maintains a "double standard" by restricting his twin daughter, Monroe.
  • Cannon explained he is "more protective" of his daughter because of potential dangers, stating if a man puts his hands on her, "I'm going to jail for forever."
  • Despite the strict stance, the father of 12 noted he is not entirely closed off to Monroe dating, explaining they have a "deal" where she can go on dates if she explains the plans to him first.
  • Critics pushed back against the remarks, with social media users questioning why he would not protect his son similarly and labeling the comments "misogynistic."
  • The twins, born in 2011 with ex-wife Mariah Carey, are part of Cannon's family of 12 children; he has previously described his fatherhood as a "trauma" response following his breakup with Carey.
