Former Captain of the New York Yankees, Derek Jeter, managed to stay true to his one dream of being a Yankee. In all twenty years of his career in MLB, he only wore Pinstripes before he hung up his cleats in 2014. He had given a Hall of Fame-worthy career and fulfilled his dream, but one of his teenage dreams remained unfulfilled. While still hoping to get drafted by the Bronx Bombers, another dream was growing in him. It was to grow up and not only date but marry the iconic singer Mariah Carey.
Although he did get to date her, his short relationship wasn’t without its challenges. It’s because Carey was still married at the time. Therefore, the duo used to secretly arrange meetings to spend time together. And once, destiny worked out and orchestrated a meeting for them when they coincidentally met at a club and had what she called the sexiest moment – without sex.

In the year 2020, songbird supreme Mariah Carey launched her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey. In the biography, among other things, she wrote extensively about her short-termed relationship with the former Yankee Derek Jeter. One of the things that she wrote was how much effort she had to put into meeting Jeter because of her ex-husband. She also added that while being on an island, she got to meet her beau without orchestrating at a club.
She wrote in her autobiography that she was living in a hotel around one hour away from the club, Egipto. But something had told her that she’d meet Jeter there. Therefore, she already had her assistant book a hotel nearby the club. “We got back to my room, and that familiar dance of the butterflies began. Threw caution to the Caribbean breeze and surrendered into his arms and the moment. We lay for the night in one embrace, engaging in one, single, long kiss. It was the sexiest moment—without sex.”
The singer also mentioned in the book that she did not want to break any of her wedding vows. Therefore, she decided not to take her relationship with the Hall of Famer to the next level until her divorce got finalized.
