After meeting in 1988, Mariah and Tommy got hitched in 1993. They broke up in 1997.
Due to her feelings of dominance throughout her marriage to Tommy, Mariah has referred to their time together as Sing Sing, taking inspiration from a well-known prison.
When Tommy discusses the problems in their marriage in his book Hitmaker: The Man and His Music, he writes, “If it sounded like I was controlling, let me apologize again.
Was I obnoxious? Yes. But that was also a contributing factor in her success.
“I am genuinely delighted to have played that role in Mariah’s well-deserved and incredible success, and continue to wish her and her family only the very best,” he told Page Six, adding that he had no ill will toward his former.
