Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak Seen Together in Aspen, Fueling Speculation About Collaboration

The pair, both recently single, were photographed holding hands during a dinner outing but insiders suggest their relationship is professional.

Mariah Carey, 55, and Anderson .Paak, 38, were seen holding hands while entering Catch Steak in Aspen, Colorado, on Sunday night, December 22.
Eyewitnesses reported that the two arrived together but left separately, prompting rumors about their relationship status.
Sources close to the musicians clarified that Carey and .Paak are working on new music together and are not romantically involved.
The duo has been spotted spending time together recently, including at a Halloween party and during recording sessions in New York City earlier this year.
Both artists are currently single, with Carey splitting from longtime boyfriend Bryan Tanaka in late 2023 and .Paak filing for divorce from his wife in early 2024.
