Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have ended their relationship, putting an end to all the rumors and speculations about their romance.
The reason for the split seems to come after Bryan Tanka’s change of heart. He wanted kids!
It seems like the 14-year age difference between Tanaka, who is 40, and Carey, who is 54, has caused them to have different desires, HeTexted.com reports.
According to a source, Tanaka wants to start a family, but Carey is not in the same place.
This might be because Carey already has 12-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, from her previous marriage to Nick Cannon. On the other hand, Tanaka does not have any children of his own.
The famous celebrity is currently enjoying the holiday season in Aspen without Tanaka, who used to accompany her on previous trips, according to a source.
This is the first time in years that they haven’t traveled together during Christmas. The last time they were seen together was in March, celebrating Mariah’s birthday.
Bryan even posted a heartfelt photo of them on Instagram. Speculations about their split started in November after her concert in California.
Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka dated for 7 years
Bryan has been known for his dance moves at her shows for over a decade, but fans noticed his absence. Some even commented on Mariah’s seemingly low energy during the performance.
However these two still appear to follow each other on Instagram, also all of their pictures together are still there so mabey just saying they are on a break, not a brake up!?
Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka split – the signs
A second chance at love – After calling off her engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer in October 2016, Mariah wasted no time in finding love again with Bryan.
Their split was messy, resulting in Packer giving Mariah a hefty settlement and her deciding to leave out any mention of their engagement in her memoir.
Mariah made it clear that she had moved on from Packer when she was seen getting cozy with Bryan at the beach during Thanksgiving weekend that same year.
Considering her previous admission that her relationship with Packer lacked physical intimacy, a passionate rebound romance might have been exactly what she was looking for.

From his boss to his girlfriend – Mariah and Bryan met early in her career but they always had a professional relationship.
It was 2006 when Tanaka joined Carey on stage as one of her backup dancers.
Though they did not start dating right away, they spent more than 10 years getting to know one another, but one was the boss and the other one was the employee.
Age gap – Yeah we have heard countless times the famous saying ‘Age is just a number,’ and sometimes that big age difference will be a problem no matter how much chemistry you have.
This is not Mariah’s first age-gap romance. She has had an age-difference relationship with Nick Cannon, who is 11 years younger than her.
Brake up – Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanka have already gone through a breakup in their relationship back in 2017.
According to an article by ET, their romance had been slowly fading for some time, but things really fell apart after a dinner date in LA in February.
Apparently, Bryan couldn’t handle Mariah’s ex-husband Nick Cannon, and became furious when he overheard her talking about him to the restaurant staff.

To get back at her, Bryan went all out, ordering a ton of food and drinks and putting it all on Mariah’s tab.
Despite the drama, Bryan still joined Mariah on a vacation in March to celebrate her 47th birthday.
He tried to make it seem like everything was fine by posting happy pictures on social media but confirmed their split in April.
The main reason? Bryan’s jealousy towards Nick. However, they did end up getting back together later that year.
So maybe there are still some chances that these two will get back together once again.
