Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka Confirm Split After Seven Years

Tanaka Announces Amicable Breakup on Instagram Amid Speculation Over Desire to Start a Family

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have confirmed their split after seven years together.
Tanaka, a backup dancer and creative director for Carey, announced the amicable breakup on Instagram.
Rumors of their split began when Tanaka did not join Carey on her 'Merry Christmas One and All!' tour and was absent from her annual holiday trip to Aspen.
Reports suggest that the split was due to Tanaka wanting to start a family, while Carey, who already has two children, was not on the same page.
Carey has not yet publicly commented on the breakup.
