The past year hasn’t been the best for Mariah Carey, as she recently admitted in an interview. The singer, often dubbed the Queen of Christmas, expressed her anticipation for the holiday season, but she mentioned that last year wasn’t exactly what she had hoped for. Although she didn’t provide any further details about her cryptic statement, Carey made a vow to herself to make the 2023 holiday season a memorable one, no matter what obstacles she may face.
Speculations about Mariah Carey’s relationship with her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, surfaced last month. The couple, who have been dating for seven years, allegedly decided to call it quits. Fans noticed Tanaka’s absence during Carey’s recent shows, including the opening night of her “Merry Christmas One and All!” performances. Some fans even expressed concern, suggesting that the singer seemed sad and disinterested in her usual high-energy performances.
Among the questions raised by fans were inquiries about Bryan Tanaka’s absence from both the stage and the audience. Social media users couldn’t help but wonder why he wasn’t dancing onstage or even present in the crowd. The lack of Tanaka’s presence led to speculations about the state of their relationship. Mariah Carey’s backup dancer-turned-beau has been noticeably absent from her Instagram feed, further fueling rumors of a potential breakup. Similarly, Tanaka hasn’t shared anything on his own Instagram account since June.
This wouldn’t be the first time Carey and Tanaka experienced relationship troubles. Back in 2017, they briefly split but quickly reconciled. However, this time, the rumors seem to persist with no confirmation or denial from either party. Mariah Carey’s representative has yet to respond to any inquiries regarding the alleged breakup.
Mariah Carey’s relationship history includes a previous marriage to music executive Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998. She later married Nick Cannon, with whom she shares 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. The couple divorced in 2016. Following her breakup with Cannon, Carey started dating Australian billionaire James Packer in 2016, but their engagement ended later that year. Subsequently, she found love again with Bryan Tanaka.
Mariah Carey’s fans are left wondering about the state of her relationship with Bryan Tanaka. Speculations about a breakup have circulated, based on his absence from recent performances and their social media accounts. As we await an official statement or confirmation, it is clear that both Carey and Tanaka have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout their seven-year relationship. Only time will tell if this is merely a bump in the road or the end of their romantic journey together.
