Mariah Carey spoke with Cosmopolitan and revealed to the world a lot about her sexuality. This is shocking because of how quiet she is when it comes to her relationships.

The singer opened up about her personal life and said that faith had a lot to do with her “being kind of a prude” and only having 5 lovers.

“I haven’t had that many, but there has been a variety pack.”

Despite the fact that the pop star has been in quite a few notable relationships, she apparently doesn’t play the field.

Some of her most noteworthy relationships have been with Tommy Mottola, who she first married in 1993 and divorced in 1998. The “With you” singer described that relationship as a prison sentence.

“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.”
