  • Fans are speculating that Mariah Carey and her beau of 7 years might have split up, after it was revealed that the backing dancer was absent from Carey’s recent show
  • The master choreographer has worked with Madonna, Rihanna and Usher and has known Carey since 2006 – but why was her ex-fiancé, Australian billionaire James Packer, allegedly ‘jealous’ of him?

Christmas is typically regarded as a time for spending cherished moments with friends and family, but will Mariah Carey, the queen of the holidays, be singing “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to her beau of seven years Bryan Tanaka this festive season?

 

Possibly not. Sadly, rumour has it that the long-time partners may have split up, according to various reports.

The speculation gained momentum when Tanaka, a regular backing dancer in Carey’s shows, was notably absent from her recent performance at the Yaamava’ Resort & Casino in California, per British media.

Fans – keenly observant as always – also pointed out that Carey seemed “downbeat” and “low energy” during her performance, which only fuelled speculation that she might have gone through a recent break up.

What’s more, Carey, 54, hasn’t shared any recent photos with Tanaka, 40, on her Instagram since December 2022. Tanaka’s last couple pic was a birthday post for Carey in March.
