What better way to cool down after being dragged through the media than spending time with your ex-husband and two children? For Mariah Carey, this is exactly what she probably needed.

It was just one week ago that Carey’s name was blasted across news outlets after a nightmare of a performance during Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Years Eve in New York City. But now, it looks like Carey is fully recovering and has moved on from the debacle of a night.

On Thursday, the multi-Grammy Award winner spent the evening with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, and their twins, Morocco and Monroe. The foursome went out to dinner and appeared all to be on cloud nine.

In an image shared on Nick’s Instagram page, the happy-looking pop star can be seen with light makeup on while posing alongside her family. It’s also worth noting that Cannon swapped out his turban for a bandana.

Mariah and Cannon have been very cordial since their divorce and something tells us they will be quite the blended family once Nick welcomes his son into the world.

The 36-year-old is expecting a son with his on-again/off-again girlfriend Brittany Bell this year, something that the comedian told HipHollywood in December is a “blessing.”

“It’s a beautiful thing to come in and celebrate life,” he told HipHollywood exclusively before taking the stage for his Standup Don’t Shoot Comedy Special.  “However I can do that, when it’s a joy and elation of an addition to anyone’s family is always a remarkable experience.”
