Mattola, who has his memoir entitled 'Hitmaker: The Man and His Music,' apologized to his ex-wife. He wrote that his relationship with Mariah Carey was 'absolute wrong.' 'If it seemed like I was controlling, let me apologize again. Was I obsessive? Yes. But that was also part of the reason for her success,' he wrote. Similarly, he added, 'The problem was that I was the chairman of Sony and her husband at the same time.'

Tommy Mattola's Divorce With Mariah Carey; His Married Life

Mariah Carey talked about her divorce with Mattola, stating that Derek Jeter was a 'catalyst' for her decision to leave Mattola. In an exclusive clip of The Oprah Conversation, she opened that Jeter played a vital role in dispatching her relationship with Mattola, her husband of five years.

Oprah asked, 'Before you divorced Tommy Mottola, you met Yankee baseball player Derek Jeter, and you say he served a very high purpose in your life.' And Carey responded:

"He got his song. He got a few songs. He was a catalyst that helped me get out of that relationship because I believed that there was somebody else. It was the racial situation; his mom is Irish; his dad is Black. But he was also very ambiguous looking to me. I didn't know who he was, we met, and I've written songs about it. But he was a catalyst. And I think that it was beautiful."

Tommy Mattola and Mariah Carey were married for five years. They tied a knot back on 5 June 1993, which lasted until 5 March 1998. Before Mariah Carey, Mattola was married to Lisa Clark for nineteen years. They are parents of a couple of children, namely Michael and Sarah.
