As we wrap up another year, many are wondering if Mariah Carey will find love in the new year. The iconic Queen of Christmas recently sparked dating rumors when she was seen holding hands with rapper Anderson .Paak. Mariah, who is known for her hit song "All I Want for Christmas," has been single since her breakup with dancer Bryan Tanaka in 2023. But could this be the start of a new romance?
The music superstar was spotted with Anderson at Catch Steak in Aspen, Colorado, where they were seen walking hand-in-hand. Mariah was dressed in a stunning tweed jacket with a matching skirt and knee-length boots, while her rumored beau kept it simple with a black jacket. Later, they left the restaurant separately, leaving fans wondering about the nature of their relationship.
It's unclear how the two met, but it's possible they crossed paths in the music industry. Anderson, whose real name is Brandon Park Anderson, has an impressive eight Grammy awards under his belt, including one for best R&B performance for his song "Leave the Door Open." Meanwhile, Mariah recently wrapped up her Christmas tour in New York City and has plans to perform at the NFL game between the Chiefs and the Steelers on Christmas day, which will be live-streamed on Netflix.
If Mariah and Anderson are indeed dating, it would be her first public relationship since her split from Bryan. The dancer confirmed their breakup in an Instagram post, where he expressed his respect and gratitude for their time together and their artistic collaborations. He also praised Mariah's dedication to her family and craft.
This wouldn't be Mariah's first rodeo when it comes to relationships. She was previously married to music executive Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998, a marriage she described as feeling like a "prisoner" and being a "child bride" in a 2019 interview with Cosmopolitan. In 2008, she married TV host Nick Cannon, with whom she shares 13-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe. Despite their split in 2014, Mariah still considers Nick her soulmate and said she never thought she would find a love like theirs.
This year has been tough for Mariah, as she lost her mother and sister on the same day in August. In a statement, she expressed her appreciation for being able to spend time with her mother before she passed and thanked everyone for their love and support during this difficult time.
On a brighter note, there are plans to bring Mariah's bestselling 2020 memoir to the screen, directed by Lee Daniels. In an interview with the LA Times, Mariah shared that she's still waiting for the first script and hopes Daniels will hurry up. She also expressed her confidence and control over the project.
The Agency has reached out to Mariah and Anderson's representatives for comment. We'll have to wait and see if this potential romance blossoms into something more. In the meantime, if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency. They'd love to hear from you.
