In a surprising turn of events, sources have confirmed that Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have reportedly ended their seven-year relationship. The first signs of trouble surfaced when Tanaka abruptly ceased accompanying Carey on her “Merry Christmas One and All!” tour in mid-November. Keen-eyed social media users had previously observed the couple’s absence from significant events, coupled with a noticeable decline in their online presence.
Insiders Close to the Situation Reveal Details:
The breakup is reportedly attributed to the couple’s divergent life goals, with sources citing a significant 14-year age gap as a contributing factor. At 54, Carey finds herself at a different life stage than the 40-year-old Tanaka, who, according to an insider, “wants to have a family. That’s not where she is at.” Carey, who shares two children, Moroccan and Monroe, with ex-husband Nick Cannon, has a family dynamic that differs from Tanaka’s, who does not have any children.
Unusual Vacation Patterns and Relationship Strain:
Adding fuel to the breakup rumors, Carey was recently spotted on vacation in Aspen without Tanaka, deviating from their customary practice of spending holidays together over the past seven years. The strain on their relationship was further heightened by Carey’s admission to People about experiencing a challenging year.
As the news of their separation continues to circulate, fans and followers are left wondering about the future paths that Carey and Tanaka will take individually, marking the end of a seven-year chapter in their romantic journey.
