Mariah Carey Bryan Tanaka split

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have ended their seven-year relationship, as confirmed by the dancer in a statement released on Tuesday. Tanaka, who transitioned from being Carey’s backup dancer to her creative director and partner, shared the news through The Big Big News and his Instagram account. In his statement, he expressed mixed emotions and described their separation as amicable.

“I am sharing this personal update about my amicable separation from Mariah Carey after seven extraordinary years together,” he wrote. “Our decision to pursue different paths is mutual, and as we embark on these separate journeys, we do so with deep respect and a profound sense of gratitude for the invaluable time we have spent together. The memories we have created and the artistic collaborations will forever remain etched in my heart.”

He continued, “I eagerly look forward to continuing my journey, knowing that my passion for inspiration, dance, and the creative arts will resonate in the chapters yet to unfold.”

Tanaka and Carey initially crossed paths when Tanaka joined her 2006 The Adventures of Mimi tour as a backup dancer. Their romantic relationship was first confirmed by Carey to the Associated Press (AP) in 2017.

“At this moment, I’d like to maintain a private stance regarding my personal life,” Carey said, smiling. “That’s what I used to do, and it worked well for a while, a long time ago. I simply don’t feel comfortable discussing my personal life… My boyfriend and I prefer not to do that.”

Rumors of their breakup began circulating online last month when fans noticed Tanaka’s absence from Carey’s Merry Christmas One and All! tour. As of now, Carey has not made a public statement about the separation, and a representative for her has not responded to a request for comment from the AP.
