More Details Regarding Speculation Of Bryan Tanaka & Mariah Carey’s Split
As The Shade Room previously reported, news of the pair’s speculated split began to surface last week. At the time, an unnamed source informed Page Six that Tanaka allegedly wanted to have children, while Carey disagreed.

To note, Carey is a 54-year-old mother to twelve-year-old twins, and Tanaka, 40, has no children.

“He wants to have a family. That’s not where she is at,” the source told the outlet. “He wants to start having his own life.”

Prior to this, the public began to speculate about the pair’s relationship when Carey was seen on her annual vacation in Aspen, Colorado without Tanaka.

Furthermore, the choreographer was also not spotted on Carey’s “Merry Christmas One And All” tour, which kicked off in November and ended mid-December.

To note, the last time Tanaka posted Carey on his social media was in March.

Meanwhile, the last time Carey shared a photo of her and the choreographer was last year.
