In May 1997, Mariah Carey
filed for divorce from husband Tommy Mottola. The marriage divorce
records were finalized after 9 months on 1998 on the month of February.

her music career.
In
1988, Mariah Carey started out as a backup singer for Brenda K. Starr.
At a party, Brenda gave a demo tape of Carey singing to Jerry
Greenberg, head of WTG records. The demo tape somehow ended up in,
Columbia Record’s president, Tommy Mottola’s hands and was
awed by Carey’s singing voice. Mottola looked for Mariah Carey
and let her sign a contract with Columbia Records. This is how the
couple first met and this is where Mariah Carey started rising to fame.
Under Columbia Records, Carey started with her first album and every single was a chart topper. Her first album was a great hit.
Carey and Mottola were working together for years and she got most of
her support from Mottola. What started out as a professional
relationship turned into something deeper. On June 5, 1993, Mariah
Carey, 23 and Tommy Mottola, 43, got married at the St. Thomas
Episcopal Church in Manhattan. This was one of the biggest weddings at
that time with a lot of famous friends in attendance.
The marriage did not stop Carey or Mottola to produce more hits. Carey
produced more albums and went on doing tours all over the United
States. She released a third album Music Box that was again another
success. Mariah Carey also had a Christmas album which contained
classical Christmas songs. In 1995, she released again another album
Daydream, which became another chart topper. With all her hit songs and
growing popularity, Mariah held a world tour that included the
countries of Japan, Germany, France, England and Netherlands.
But on May 30, 1997, just before the couple’s wedding
anniversary, they announced their separation. There were rumors that
Mariah Carey was unhappy with the marriage despite what she shows to
the public. She felt like a prisoner and wanted to have her freedom.
