When Mariah Carey went back in time to recall her first kiss with New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter

New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter dated many girls during his storied MLB career before he finally married supermodel Hannah Davis in 2016.

Jeter once also dated popular singer, Mariah Carey, the details of which were shared by her in a 2020 interview. Sharing the story of her memorable first kiss with the star player, Carey said:

″I can never forget that moment,″ she said. ″I mean, it's not like it was some intensely deep, intellectually stimulating — again, it was a great moment, and it happened in a divine way because it helped me get past living there, in Sing Sing, under those rules and regulations.″

The singer acknowledged that two of her 1997 songs were written for the former Yankee player.

In her memoir, "The Meaning of Mariah Carey," Carey recalled meeting Jeter at a dinner gathering and beginning to text the sportsman covertly while her marriage to music mogul Tommy Mottola came to an end. She also recounted their "clandestine kiss" on the roof of his apartment building, which, according to Carey, served as the inspiration for her song "The Roof."
