Who is Mariah Carey?

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

Mariah is the daughter of Patricia Hickey, an opera singer and vocal coach, who trained her in opera singing from the tender age of three.

Her father, Alfred Roy Carey, was an aeronautical engineer.

At just 17, Mariah moved to New York City to pursue a singing career.

After working part-time jobs to pay rent for her one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, which she shared with four other girls, Mariah released her debut single, Vision of Love.

She was only 20 years old at the time.

The song is still widely viewed as one of her most accomplished works.

The release was a hit, and the young pop star won two Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocalist.

The world-famous All I Want for Christmas Is You was released in 1994.

The album remains one of the best-selling holiday albums in America and returned to number one in the UK in December 2020 after 26 years.

By 2001, she was the world’s highest-paid recording artist.

But in the same year, Mariah suffered a mental breakdown and was hospitalized for “extreme exhaustion.”

The star later revealed she also suffers from bipolar disorder.

But the singer has continued to wow fans worldwide with her famous five-octave voice.

With sales of over 200 million records worldwide, she is one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Does Mariah Carey have children?

Mariah and her ex-husband Nick Cannon share two children: Morrocan and Monroe.

When they finalized their divorce in 2016, Mariah became engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer but later called it off.

She started dating choreographer Bryan Tanaka that same year.

However, they split in December 2023 due to diverging opinions on starting a family.

Tanaka reportedly wanted children, while Mariah didn’t.

“He wants to have a family. That’s not where she is at,” a source told Page Six.

The pair were together for seven years before calling it quits.
