Mariah Carey names which ex she is ‘angry' with… and it's NOT Nick Cannon
Mariah Carey has opened up about her turbulent love life in a candid interview - and revealed which ex makes her blood boil. The music icon, 56, who shares twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, admitted first spouse Tommy Mottola still makes her 'angry' as she reflected on their five year marriage in a chat with Harper's Bazaar UK. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records. Carey married Mottola, now 77, when she was just 23-years-old and he was 20 years her senior. Before their marriage she already was a rising star with the success of her debut namesake album. During their marriage, her career skyrocketed, with the success of her hit songs Hero, Fantasy, All I Want For Christmas Is You, and Always Be My Baby, among others. Carey has previously described her marriage to Mottola as a 'private hell' and claimed the music supremo was controlling - allegations Mottola has vehemently denied. She said this week: 'Sometimes I feel angry about that time, but I think I've made peace with it – in any case, I vowed I'd stop talking about it. 'Humor is my release, and people who know me know that. I'll make little jokes about what happened because otherwise I could make every day a sob story. It's a coping mechanism, but it's in my nature to laugh. She said of her desire to go against Mottola's vision of her as a mainstream pop artist: 'I wanted to do more R&B, more urban music, and any time I would bring that up, it would get shot down. It wasn't that I didn't like the music I was making – I just felt there was more inside me that I wanted to release.' Carey added she felt 'free for the first time' when she released 1997 album Butterfly. 'You might want to picture a child bride,' Carey previously said of her dynamic with Mottola in a 2019 Cosmopolitan interview. '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,' said Carey. She also spoke to Oprah about her short relationship with Derek Jeter, that served as 'a catalyst' for the end of her first marriage. The couple was married from 1993 until 1998 after he discovered her in the late 1980s when he was then head of Columbia Records - pictured 1997 She welcomed twins with second husband Nick Cannon - who she divorced in 2016 - pictured 2012 When she started her affair with the baseball heartthrob, the songbird was married to Mottola. From 2008 until 2016 she was married to Cannon, with whom she amicably co-parents twins Monroe and Moroccan, 14. Cannon is now a dad of 12 by six different women. After that divorce she had a failed engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer and dated former backup dancer Bryan Tanaka for seven years until 2023. In recent months she has been rumored to be dating Anderson .Paak, 39.

Daniel Wiffen scraps through to 800m Freestyle final at World Aquatics Championships
Olympic 800m champion Daniel Wiffen has qualified for the Freestyle final at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. Wiffen finished in a time of 7:46.36 to finish fifth in his heat and had a nervous wait to see if he would progress to the final. As the final heat results were confirmed Wiffen reached the final in eighth overall and will have the outside lane for the final on Wednesday where he looks to defend his World Championships title which he won in Doha last year. Speaking after the race Wiffen was disappointed with his overall swin but now has the chance to defend his title. "I mean, obviously pretty disappointed with the overall swim of the 800, but we've got a lane, so we've got a chance to defend my title, and I'm going in with that mindset of that I can win this still, even though I'm eighth in. "I just feel really weak at the moment. I felt it in the 400m (Freestyle) and then I felt it in the 800 free, so something's going wrong, I just need to figure out what it is and then change it for tomorrow night's final." The 800m Men's Freestyle final will take place on Wednesday at 12.02pm (Irish time) which is exactly one year on from when Wiffen won gold at the Olympics in Paris. National Centre Limerick's Jack Cassin swam a personal best to secore a top 20 play in the World in the 200m Butterfly heats. Cassin's PB of 1:57.04 beats his best of 1:57.34 at the European U23 Championships in June where he finished fourth in the final. The Cork man was delighted with his swim after the race. "I'm definitely happy with that, you know. It's been a long season, so I'm kind of happy to drop some more time in that 200. "You know, trials wasn't exactly what I wanted, and then I was really happy with the time that I went at Europeans U23s, so, to kind of come back and improve a little bit there. Definitely have to like refine some skills, see what I can work on for the next season, but it's definitely motivated me now." Speaking on his debut at the World Championships Cassin added "I mean, it's unreal, you know, we have some of the senior guys, like Mona, Daniel, Ellen, Danielle, and they've all been here so many times for World Champs, they've been to Games. "So, to kind of feed off that experience that they've had and learn from them. I've definitely took some tips from Danielle and she's kind of told me what to do, not to be stressed, you know, not really many people are looking at you here, so it's kind of nice to be in your own zone and focus on yourself." No Irish swimmers were in action in the afternoon session on Tuesday in Singapore. Wednesday will see Ellen Walshe return to the water in the 200m Butterfly heats. Walshe only added this event to her roster earlier this year after a five-year gap and has made big strides from a best of 2:14.15 in 2020 to an Irish Record of 2:08.42 in March this year. Danielle Hill will take part in the 50m Backstroke with Evan Bailey back in the pool for the 100m Freestyle heats.
