“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,” she admitted.

Carey is currently involved with one of her backup dancers, Bryan Tanaka. Although her love life may be lacking in quantity, the singer shared it makes up for it in variety.

The ”Always Be My Baby’ singer does not have a specific type that is for sure. All of the men in her life have been extremely different from each other, especially her first husband, Tommy Mottola.

“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,” Carey told Cosmopolitan of her five-year marriage to a man 20-years her senior.

Since her first marriage ended, Carey there has been one thing the men in her life have had in common, they were significantly younger than her. Ex-husband Nick Cannon was 11-years her junior, while Tanaka is 13-years with ex-boyfriend James Packer being the closest in age and older than the singer.

Mariah Carey has shocked fans by getting candid on the number of men she has slept with. She refers to herself as a prude, but that does not mean her love life has been without drama. Fans know Carey has not always had it easy in the romance department, but she does have long-lasting relationships. Oh, and the singer is rarely single.
