**Mariah Carey Prepares Daughter Monroe for Music Stardom by Trademarking Her Name**
*Published Oct. 6, 2025, 7:40 p.m. ET*
Mariah Carey is gearing up to launch her 14-year-old daughter Monroe Carey into the music industry by trademarking her name. RadarOnline.com can reveal that the 56-year-old singer has filed paperwork to trademark “Monroe Carey,” covering areas such as “live musical performances” and “other entertainment information.”
**Pop Star Launch?**
A source shared insight into Mariah’s cautious but supportive approach:
“Mariah has a wealth of experience in the industry and was cautious when Monroe suggested she would like to be a musician. But she knows it’s what she wants to do, and she’s fully supporting her and doing everything she can to help. Monroe doesn’t want to just use her mom’s little black book to make it as a singer, but her guidance has been invaluable.”
The insider added, “She’s got a brilliant voice, and if things go to plan, it won’t be long before the world hears it.”
**Steps Toward the Spotlight**
This move follows recent comments by Carey on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*, where she revealed that Monroe may soon be stepping into the limelight.
“My daughter’s into music, and she likes music. She used to sing with me on my Christmas tour, but I don’t know if she’s doing it this year,” Mariah said.
When asked if Monroe was ready to branch out on her own, the Grammy winner replied, “I’m trying to get her to do her own thing. I think she wants to. So possibly.”
**Family Musical Moments**
Mariah, who shares Monroe and her twin brother Moroccan with ex-husband Nick Cannon, has often included her children in performances and videos over the years. Monroe has appeared alongside her mother on TikTok and during Carey’s *Merry Christmas One and All* tour, including a memorable duet at Madison Square Garden in December 2023.
She also featured with her brother in Mariah’s *Fall in Love at Christmas* video in 2021.
The *Honey* hitmaker has spoken fondly about watching her children perform, saying:
“As they grow up and decide what to do with their lives, it’s really nice for me to see them performing onstage. I even like watching them getting ready, preparing to perform.”
**A Supportive, Easy-Going Mom**
Mariah emphasized that she will not pressure her children into the entertainment business.
“I never say, ‘You guys have got to do this.’ It’s whatever they want to do, and they’re working hard for it,” she explained.

**Meghan Markle Left Embarrassed Amid Mariah Carey’s Recent Comments**
Meanwhile, RadarOnline.com recently revealed an awkward moment involving Mariah Carey and Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, who launched her *Archetypes* podcast in 2022 with Carey as one of the headline guests, faced renewed embarrassment.
Their podcast episode once made headlines for an awkward exchange where Carey called Markle a “diva,” later clarifying it as a compliment about her style and presence.
However, three years on, the moment has resurfaced following Carey’s recent interview on Hits Radio ahead of her planned performance at Sandringham House. When asked to reflect on royal encounters, Carey chose to speak warmly about meeting Sarah Ferguson, describing her as “cool,” but omitted any mention of Markle.
Those close to the Sussexes say the “diva” incident and Carey’s refusal to collaborate again with Markle in new Netflix content has been painful. One source close to Markle stated:
“Meghan saw the podcast as a way to connect with influential women she respected. Being so openly passed over now feels deeply humiliating – as though the ‘diva’ controversy is still casting a shadow over her.”
