Mariah Carey is the queen of Christmas. In recent years, the North American singer has taken over the last holidays of the year thanks to her immortal song All I Want For Christmas Is You, gaining popularity and money in equal measure every November 1 onwards. However, not all facets of her life exude the same joyful and celebratory atmosphere as her well-known song. And the love has faded after a long relationship.
Bryan Tanaka, who has been her partner for the last seven years, has confirmed in a statement his separation from the artist, news that several international media have reported in recent days. The dancer, who had been with his now ex-partner for fourteen years, has confirmed that the separation has been by mutual agreement and that there is no type of quarrel between the two, despite the pain they now have to face.
“Dear friends and fans. With mixed emotions, I share with you my amicable separation from Mariah Carey after seven wonderful years together. Our decision to go our separate ways is mutual, and as we navigate apart, we do so with deep respect and an enormous sense of gratitude for the time we have shared. The memories we have created and the artistic collaborations will be etched in my heart forever,” she explained.
“Mariah’s dedication to her family and her commitment to her profession have inspired us throughout our shared journey. I want to express my love and thank Mariah and her incredible children, whose warmth and kindness have enriched my life in a way I cannot put into words. The outpouring of love and support from fans has been a ray of strength for me. and I feel very grateful,” Tanaka concluded in his writing.
According to the American portal PageSix, this separation would have occurred after differences in their visions for the future. The dancer would have wanted to expand the family, a fact in which Carey was at the opposite pole. The native of Huntington, New York already has two children: Moroccan and Monroe, both 12 years old, from her previous relationship with actor and presenter Nick Cannon. For her part, Tanaka did not have any children.
Another fact that the North American media points out is that the age difference would also have been an impediment to moving forward with the relationship.

Despite this heartfelt communication from Bryan, Mariah has not yet commented on the matter, with total ignorance of whether she will mention what happened before the end of the year or whether she will let the holidays pass.
