Mariah described her deceased father, Alfred Roy Carey, as being a "Black Venezuelan", a descendant of African slaves. He died in 2002.

Alfred was of black American and black Venezuelan origin (hence the saying Afro-Venezuelan). Bottom line, Alfred was a black man.

Well technically speaking they're 75% black. Nobody is white except Mariah's mom.

I thought that Mariah's father was of mixed race, 50% black and 50% white Hispanic (from Venezuela I think). So Mariah is technically only 25% black and 75% white. So naturally the kids will be pretty light skinned.

African-American & Afro-Venezuelan. She is half and half. Therefore the twins are 3/4ths black. It's simple mathematics.

But it's really not that important. The Cannon family are all human beings first and foremost.

exactly lol mariah herself said her father was a black man from harlm, i think it was her great fgrandmother that was from Venezuela. Poeple need to realize that biracial kids don't have to look a certain way, unless you know both parents genotypes you can't predict how they'll look. Some biracial people are darker like obama and Halle berry and some are lighter like Mariah.

The babies are adorable and she and Nick look so happy together. I have to say, those two really have proved me wrong.

Those babies are so cute. Congratulations to them.

Yes, indeed he was.

They are soooooooooo cute

I think my heart exploded from the cuteness.

I think their son has more features of Nick and the little girl has mixed features of them both but she doesn't really look like Mariah or Nick. She kind of look like she has some Asian persuasion going on.

Did anybody else feel like Mariah was saying some messed up stuff to Nick about not trusting him! I mean really on Barbara Walters too.

Yeah I noticed but brushed it off like she wasn't serious. He (Nick) was giving her the side eye too.

Could it be that her being 10-11 years his senior has come to the forefront of her thinking now that she's a mother? Nick looks like he could be her kid brother! I think she has some concerns about aging-- with a much younger, engaging hubby.

I don't know. She does look happy..for the most part. She could have concerns but then she did marry a man nearly 20 years older than her the first go round. She could think about that and how miserable she was with him and then look at Nick and sort of forget about her "aging" concerns and their age difference. Happiness trumps age difference any day. But...

As I've said before, they have surprised me by staying married this long because I didn't give them 6 months. But for some reason, as happy as they look now, I just get this painful, sharp feeling in my back that they still, somewhere down the line, won't last. I wish I was wrong, but I can't shake it.

Nick & Mariah are both goofy ass people. I never pictured them hooking up but as soon as they did I thought they looked like soulmates. Everybody seemed to miss the fact that they're both super cornballs. You can kinda equate it to people being surprised over Bobby & Whitney due to the latter pretending she was Cinderalla at the time. I guess it threw the public off when in fact what you had was two peas in a pod.

I actually really liked that she didnt say it was all perfect between them

I'd say the same thing about my Aries husband whom I adore (and adores me back)...I'd be like "yeah, when he's nice... " because at the end of the day, that fool is still an Aries, and they are spay-shul

Congrads to them both! They look happy and the babies are to cute

They are cute babies,but aren't they all! I know she(likely footing most of the bills) is spending an insane amount on those babies. I guess she's got it like that though.

she's still an asshole... pimp out her kids for publicity...

i have to admit i was listening or looking all that closely to them, but i remember babs' over-voice talking about how lucky nick was to have married into mariah's money or some dumb shit like that. yikes! talk about disrespectful, but that's what you get when you let old bats in your house. they poop all over your furniture.
