Mariah Carey names which ex she is ‘angry' with… and it's NOT Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey has opened up about her turbulent love life in a candid interview - and revealed which ex makes her blood boil. The music icon, 56, who shares twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, admitted first spouse Tommy Mottola still makes her 'angry' as she reflected on their five year marriage in a chat with Harper's Bazaar UK. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records. Carey married Mottola, now 77, when she was just 23-years-old and he was 20 years her senior. Before their marriage she already was a rising star with the success of her debut namesake album. During their marriage, her career skyrocketed, with the success of her hit songs Hero, Fantasy, All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Always Be My Baby, among others. Carey has previously described her marriage to Mottola as a 'private hell' and claimed the music supremo was controlling - allegations Mottola has vehemently denied. She said this week: 'Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I've made peace with it – in any case, I vowed I'd stop talking about it. 'Humor is my release, and people who know me know that. I'll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. It's a coping mechanism, but it's in my nature to laugh. She said of her desire to go against Mottola's vision of her as a mainstream pop artist: 'I wanted to do more R&B, more urban music, and any time I would bring that up, it would get shot down. It wasn't that I didn't like the music I was making – I just felt there was more inside me that I wanted to release.' Carey added she felt 'free for the first time' when she released 1997 album Butterfly. 'You might want to picture a child bride,' Carey previously said of her dynamic with Mottola in a 2019 Cosmopolitan interview. '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,' said Carey. She also spoke to Oprah about her short relationship with Derek Jeter, that served as 'a catalyst' for the end of her first marriage. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records - pictured 1997 She welcomed twins with second husband Nick Cannon - who she divorced in 2016 - pictured 2012 When she started her affair with the baseball heartthrob, the songbird was married to Mottola. From 2008 until 2016 she was married to Cannon, with whom she amicably co-parents twins Monroe and Moroccan, 14. Cannon is now a dad of 12 by six different women. After that divorce she had a failed engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer and dated former backup dancer Bryan Tanaka for seven years until 2023. In recent months she has been rumored to be dating Anderson .Paak, 39.

Mariah Carey says ageing ‘just doesn't happen' to her
The 56-year-old said she had written a song about her approach to getting older in an interview with Harper's Bazaar UK, ahead of the release of her 16th studio album, Here For It All. Asked about how she deals with ageing, Carey said: 'I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen. I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time – I have a new song that starts with that line.' Carey also spoke about looking back at her life while writing her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, with journalist Michaela Angela Davis. She said: 'Working on it together was challenging, but it was also therapeutic. We stayed up late figuring out how we were going to put the story forth. 'I knew it was going to bring up bad memories I didn't want to relive. It was a tough situation to go to sleep listening to it, I'd wake up and be kind of freaked out. Because this is me and I went through that.' But the star also said she wanted to 'have a laugh' on the new album's lead single Type Dangerous, which she described as 'tongue in cheek'. The singer also spoke about her mother's influence on her career, adding: 'We didn't always have the world's greatest relationship but certain things she said or did resonated with me as a kid. 'She once told me, 'don't say if I make it, say when I make it', that just stuck with me, and I never gave up.' The full interview with Carey can be read in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, which is on sale from July 31.

Mariah Carey on embracing her diva status: ‘It's part of my job'
Mariah Carey isn't just comfortable with her diva label — she fully owns it and wears it like a crown. Known for her towering heels, diamonds at breakfast and voice that reshaped pop, she has spent over three decades turning glamour into an art form. And now, she's making it clear: the image isn't a performance, it's the job. 'It's part of my job,' she says. 'What's the point of a disguise? Just get up, get dressed, go out. If I don't want to be seen, I'll stay home.' The singer-songwriter made the remarks in a new interview for the September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, where she also spoke candidly about her refusal to acknowledge ageing — or even the passing of time itself. 'I don't allow it – it just doesn't happen,' the Sweet Fantasy hit-maker told the publication. 'I don't know time. I don't know numbers. I do not acknowledge time – I have a new song that starts with that line…' The lyric is from a track on her forthcoming album, her first full length studio release since 2018's Caution. While a title and release date are yet to be confirmed, Carey has hinted that the project will be her most personal in years, blending the introspection of her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey with the vocal freedom of her earlier work. Since bursting onto the scene in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, Carey has built a career defined by soaring vocals and chart-topping hits. Now 55, the five-time Grammy Award winner remains a dominant force in pop. With 19 Billboard Hot 100 number ones, she stands just behind The Beatles in chart history, and her music continues to resonate with new generations — especially every December, when All I Want for Christmas Is You reclaims its throne. Reflecting on her enduring holiday hit, which turns 26 this year, and the mum-of-two's deep love for the festive season, she added: 'I can't believe I have this song that I ended up writing randomly. Christmas is everything. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't get to celebrate.' The full interview is available in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar UK, out July 31.
