Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka, after a seven-year relationship, have recently parted ways. This development was first reported by Page Six, which referenced a source close to the situation. According to this source, the split was largely due to Tanaka’s aspiration to start a family, an idea that Carey, at this stage of her life, does not share.
Carey, a renowned singer, is already a mother to twins Moroccan and Monroe, aged 12, whom she co-parents with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon. Cannon himself is known for having ten other children with different women. Carey and Cannon’s separation occurred in 2014. The “All I Want for Christmas Is You” artist began her relationship with Tanaka, a professional dancer and choreographer, in 2016. During an interview with the Associated Press at that time, Carey had made it clear that she preferred to keep her personal life away from the public eye, emphasizing that she and Tanaka did not wish to publicly discuss their relationship.
Carey and Tanaka’s connection extends beyond their romantic involvement. Tanaka was a part of the dance ensemble during Carey’s Adventures of Mimi Tour in 2006, as reported by People magazine. Another source who spoke to Page Six about the breakup noted that Tanaka was looking to carve out his individual path. The duo was last publicly seen together celebrating Carey’s 54th birthday in March. However, Tanaka’s absence from Carey’s trip to Aspen this month was noticeable. The couple had experienced a brief separation previously in 2017 but had reconciled shortly thereafter.
This breakup marks the end of a significant chapter in both Carey and Tanaka’s lives, signaling a shift in their personal journeys and potentially new directions for both in their respective careers and personal aspirations.
