Newly single Mariah Carey was seen enjoying a sunny day in Aspen, Colo., following the confirmation of her split from ex-boyfriend Bryan Tanaka. The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” hitmaker was all smiles, donning a black Chanel vest over a star-printed sweater paired with matching pants, leg warmers, and heeled boots during her stroll on Tuesday.
Carey, 54, and Tanaka, 40, ended their long-term relationship due to differing desires for their futures, sources confirmed. While Tanaka reportedly wanted to start a family, Carey, who shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex Nick Cannon, was not on the same page.
Tanaka took to social media to announce the split, describing it as amicable and expressing gratitude for the time they shared. The backup dancer also praised Carey’s 12-year-old twins, emphasizing their impact on his life.
Rumors of trouble in paradise began to circulate last month when Carey performed without Tanaka at her “Merry Christmas One and All!” shows at Yaamava’ Resort & Casino. This fueled speculation further when Carey traveled to Aspen for her annual holiday getaway without her longtime beau.
The singer has yet to publicly address the breakup, but her carefree demeanor in Aspen suggests she is moving forward with a positive outlook.
While Carey’s romantic life may be going through changes, she continues to exude confidence and joy, as seen during her recent outing in Aspen.
