According to Sportskeeda, the "Touch My Body" songstress revealed in her book, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," that the reason behind their divorce was because of the struggles with balancing their personal and professional life.

"Making the necessary adult adjustments to being working parents in entertainment took its toll on our relationship, and the end of our marriage came as fast as it began," she added.
