Are we committing a crime against Mariah Carey by acknowledging that her kids are 14 years old?

Mariah Carey performed at Brighton Pride this weekend and she’s still in England, seen today heading to a promotional engagement in London.

Mimi has always been a 2SLGBTQ+ ally and she put that support on her body this weekend, wearing a custom “Protect The Dolls” jacket and promising that she would “always be there” for the community. You can get a good look at the jacket in the reel below.

It’s fully tricked out, obviously, as are practically all of her outfits for this performance. You can always trust Mimi to bring the rainbows and the sparkles. You can also always trust Mimi to not know time. She operates on her own time, and if that means three hours late, so be it. But also time passing, as in age. We don’t talk about age where Mimi is concerned, she doesn’t know her.

And yet, we have to talk about age because she just posted a GRWM with Monroe and OMGGGGG… how did dembabies get so grown!? Roc and Roe turned 14 in April, and it’s not like we don’t see them because we have seen them often but I feel like this f-cking came out of nowhere. She looks like she could be in a Jenny Han series. She’s giving Lola Tung and Belly from TSITP and also a little Zendaya, right?! Right?

But are we committing a crime against Mimi by acknowledging that 14 years have passed since she brought these babies into the world and now they’re full teenagers?
