Carey Marie Martin (Kim Rhodes) is one of the main characters of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and a minor recurring character in The Suite Life on Deck. She is the single mother of Zack and Cody Martin, and works as the Tipton's lounge singer.
Carey is wise, patient, and a very loving mother, though she often babies her kids, much to their resentment. She is generally seen as the voice of reason, providing advice not only to her own kids, but also to Maddie, London, and even Mr. Moseby. She is also, if only in "Dad's Back", known to have a fun side to her personality. As seen in "Who's the Boss?", Carey is shown to understand elegance and formality, and she is an exceptional singer. Normally, she hands down punishments with a calm demeanour, the exception being "Doin' Time in Suite 2330" where she physically grabs Zack and screams at him on live video before furiously rounding on Chris Brown and the Cheetah Girls when they laugh at her expense. In the same episode, she openly tells the twins she hasn't trusted them since they started walking.
Though she has been detailed to have numerous boyfriends, Carey met her only named husband Kurt during a theater play in which she met his eyes on stage. After giving birth to twins Zack and Cody, they divorced on less-than-amicable terms.
