Highlights

• Mariah Carey shocked people by revealing that she has only been intimate with five people.
• Carey’s Cosmopolitan interview sparked the scandal.
• Carey’s number may seem surprising given her public image and rumored relationships.

Throughout Mariah Carey’s truly incredible music career, she has released enough hit songs to become extremely rich. When someone reaches that level of success, they typically have a lot of people who want to know as much as they can about them.

In Carey’s case, there are a lot of people who want to know how rich she is and about her love life. Amazingly enough, Carey revealed one of the most personal things about herself when she talked about how many people she’d been intimate with. While the fact that she revealed that was surprising enough, the number she gave is what really shocked people.

Mariah Carey Has Been Intimate With Five People

In 2019, Mariah Carey sat down to be interviewed by Cosmopolitan. Given that Carey has been a star for decades, she has been interviewed countless times. Despite that, there was something special about her Cosmopolitan interview, since it was incredibly revealing. A perfect example of that is revealing how many people she’d been intimate with.

While she spoke to Cosmopolitan in 2019, Carey addressed some memorable topics that related to her career. Arguably more interesting than that, Carey also gave her take on a slew of topics nobody expected her to address at that time.

Without a doubt, the most talked about piece of information that came out of Carey’s Cosmopolitan interview pertained to her personal life. When Carey was asked about dating younger people, she volunteered to reveal how many people she’d been intimate with.

“I haven’t had that many, but there has been a variety pack. I’ve only been with five people in my life, so I’m kind of a prude, honestly, compared to most others in the field.”

While that revelation was the most surprising thing Carey said during her Cosmopolitan interview, she had a lot of interesting things to say. Early on during that interview, for example, Carey revealed the sad reason she loves Christmas and her song which revolves around the holiday.

Who has Mariah Carey been married to, according to Who’s Dated Who?

“As a kid, I always hoped for great Christmases, and we didn’t have them. My brother and sister would come back to wherever I was with my mom, and they’d be fighting and ruining the holiday. I would still be like, You know what? I just want to have the best time.”

Carey also compared the years she spent married to Tommy Mottola to being behind bars. “You might want to picture a child bride. 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.”

Another topic that Carey surprisingly addressed was her now-­infamous 2016 New Year’s Eve performance. According to Carey, that moment wasn’t as big of a deal as many people assumed it was.

“If people think that’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, then first of all, they haven’t studied my career well enough. After what I’ve been through, who really gives a s**t if my monitor broke, fell off, came out of my ears because the stupid robe was too loose? These things happen and it’s over. My true fans stick with me, and the rest of the people will get over it.”

Carey also made some surprising comments about her peers. One example of that is calling out other musical artists who exaggerate when they claim to write their own music. “A lot of artists say they write, but they don’t really write. No offense to anybody. That’s just what I’ve seen.”

From there, Carey went on to address a subject that seemed very surprising for her to talk about. After being shamed in the media for her own fashion choices in the past, it seemed strange for Carey to do that to other artists. “A lot of girls are just nude in front of everybody. No offense to them.”

As Cosmopolitan’s article continued, the publication’s writer, Jessica Herndon, had an epiphany about the interview. As Herndon explained, she believed Carey was trying to make her interview as headline-grabbing as possible. Carey definitely got her wish as there was a lot of conversation focused on her comment about how many people she’d been intimate with.

Mariah Carey’s Number Was Shocking Because Of Past Headlines

During Mariah Carey’s time in the public eye, there has been a lot of coverage of her personal life in the media. Unfortunately, far too much of that coverage has been very judgmental of Carey, which is just plain wrong.

Since Carey is an adult, nobody should judge the singer for who she has or hasn’t been involved with as long as they are a consenting adult. While that should be self-evident, Carey’s statement that she’d only been intimate with five people still took many observers by surprise. The reason for that is the fact that Carey has been linked to a lot more than five people in the media.

Who has Mariah Carey dated, according to Who’s Dated Who?

• Tyrese Gibson
• Sean “Diddy” Combs
• Grant Hill
• Matt Dillon
• Jay-Z
• Vin Diesel
• Derek Jeter
• Eddie Griffin
• Marcus Schenkenberg
• Jamie Theakston
• Luis Miguel
• Eric Benét
• Mark Sudack
• Christian Monzon
• Brett Ratner
• James Packer
• Bryan Tanaka

In addition to getting married twice, Carey has been linked to several men over the years. While some of these reported relationships may have been overstated at least, there were several men Carey reportedly dated for months or years.

It is also worth noting that there is a very good chance Carey dated people the media never learned about. After all, since Britannica reports that Carey was born in 1969, she turned fifty years old the same year the Cosmopolitan article was published. By that age, it would be surprising if everyone Carey dated was in the public eye.

When and where was Mariah Carey born, according to Britannica?

• Carey was born on March 27, 1969
• Carey was born in Huntington, New York

There is one other factor to consider; rumors about Carey’s love life. A perfect example of that is the fact that Eminem has repeatedly claimed that he was once involved with Carey. On the other hand, Carey denied that anything happened between her and Eminem.

Between Carey’s marriages, reports about her dating, and rumors about her love life, most people believed her number would be larger than five. Either way, that isn’t anyone other than Carey’s business.
