Mariah Carey has scored countless number one records, a shelf full of Grammy Awards and been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

But she has always been guarded about her private life – until now.

In her new memoir, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey, the singer discusses growing up in poverty in a violent household, her experiences of racism, her music, her marriages and much more.

The couple have welcomed their second child together, Sadoski’s representative, Erica Gray, confirmed to USA TODAY on Monday. Seyfried and Sadoski shared the news in a joint statement to INARA and War Child USA, which the charities posted on their Instagram accounts.

“Since the birth of our daughter 3 years ago our commitment to the innocent children that are so brutally affected by conflict and war has been a driving force in our lives,” read the statement. “With the birth of our son the work of INARA and War Child has become our North Star.”

USA TODAY has reached out to Seyfried’s and Sadoski’s reps for more details.
