Mariah Carey’s s:e:x confessions – phone romp, body count and bonking to own songs

As pop icon Mariah Carey turns another year older, Daily Star has taken a look back at some of racy confessions from having phone s:e:x to bonking to her own songs

Mariah Carey is known for her daring outfits but not many will know she’s been mentioned in some racy confessions over the years.

The singing sensation, who turned 55 on March 27, is best known for 1994 song All I Want For Christmas Is You.

Over the years, she’s led a colourful love life and has been married twice. Just last year, Mariah confirmed that she’d split with her partner Bryan Tanaka after seven years.

While she had tied the knot twice, her relationship with Bryan was never legalised. Bryan confirmed the news last year confirming the split was mutual. He wrote: “Our decision to embark on different paths is mutual, and as we navigate these separate journeys, we do so with profound respect and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the invaluable time we’ve shared.”

As Mariah now celebrates her birthday, Daily Star has looked back at her cheeky confessions she’s made about some of her exes…

Speaking to Amber Rose on her show, he said: “I’ve answered this question while I was married – mistake! She didn’t like the fact that I told the world that we have s:e:x to her music, but it was true!
“Can you imagine having s:e:x with Mariah Carey while Mariah Carey is playing in the back? Sorry, Mariah. I said I wasn’t going to say that again.”
After he told Amber that the song was Hero, the chat show host exclaimed: “That was some serious love-making, if you’re making love to Hero.”
