Mariah Careyand Luis Miguel have offered glimpses into their high-profile romance through her memoir and his series, respectively.
One thing both parties agree on is that he drank heavily at their dinner.
But Miguel pulled the ultimate Cassanova move, sending her a Bulgari diamond necklace the following day.
AlthoughCarey obviously makes a lot of money herself (especially every Christmas season), she was impressed.
Naturally, both versions of their love story also agree that Miguel was extravagant and romantic.
“Our friends were total opposites.
But an even bigger issue was that Miguel refused to acknowledge her identity as a Black woman.
“He would always insist that he didn’t see me as Black.
For him it was simply skin deep,” Carey sadly shared.
Ultimately, though, they just weren’t right for each other.
We were not helping each other heal,” she admitted.
They split in 2001.Carey married Nick Cannonin 2008, but Miguel only wed in 2024.
