'Touch My Body' singer Mariah Carey has revealed she "always wanted to be kidnapped" during the darkest periods of her life.
Mariah Carey "always wanted to be kidnapped".
The 'Touch My Body' singer - who divorced record executive Tommy Mottola in 1998 after five years of marriage - harboured fantasies about someone abducting her during the darkest periods of her life.
She said: "When I was in an unhappy place in my life, I always wanted to be kidnapped. I just wanted a way out, but I didn't have one."
Mariah also revealed she couldn't believe her luck when her new husband Nick Cannon "kidnapped" her to propose.
She added: "He sort of kidnapped me and took me on a helicopter ride. Then he proposed."
The 38-year-old beauty insists she has never been happier than she is now.
She told America's Elle magazine: "It's definitely the best place I've ever been in my life. If you really look at my life, I've never had a personal life, or if I did, it was just wearing a mask and it was not existing, you know?
"I put my career ahead of my personal life because I think I didn't know that I was deserving of both, because that was just how I always felt about myself. That was just my own insecurity and land in which I live."
Mariah and Nick married in secret in May in the Bahamas following a whirlwind romance. |
