“Honestly, I think Nick and I could have worked it out between the two of us, but egos and emotions got inflamed (which can translate into many billable lawyer hours, and ultimately it did),” she wrote in The Meaning of Mariah Carey. “It was tough. We both wanted to make sure everything was cool for our family. We will always be family, and we make it work.”
Luis Miguel
The two songbirds dated from 1998 until 2001. She said in her book, “he was an authentic, over-the-top Latin lover, for real.”
Derek Jeter
Carey and Derek Jeter dated for almost a year from 1997 until 1998.
The two bonded over their shared biracial identity. “It was the racial situation—that his mom is Irish, his dad is Black, but he was also very ambiguous looking to me,” she admitted to Oprah Winfrey. The songwriter wrote the songs “The Roof” and “My All” about the baseball star.
Tommy Mottola
Carey’s first marriage was to Sony executive Tommy Mottola. The recording artist was 24 and the author was 44 when they wed back in 1993.
“You might want to picture a child bride,” Carey told Cosmopolitan in July 2019. “There was a conscious effort to keep me as this all-American, whatever that means, girl. It was very controlled. There was no freedom for me as a human being. It was almost like being a prisoner.”
