UPDATE 03/02/2026 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Carey spotted alone

A fan spotted Mariah Carey walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of February 1, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Mariah back on the market?

A rep for Mariah Carey was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the singer - known for having been romantically involved with Eric Benét, Tommy Mottola, Marcus Schenkenberg, Nick Cannon, Luis Miguel, Derek Jeter or Eddie Griffin - was splitting hit the internet Monday (February 2), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Mariah’s phone number?”

“Hate to see Carey split up, but I thought the pairing was a little weird.”

Based on the facts (Carey spotted alone with a cute sweater), is there trouble in paradise or is it much ado about nothing?
