Bryan Tanaka Confirms Split With Mariah Carey After 7 Years, Making His First Statement | Bryan Tanaka, Mariah Carey
Bryan Tanaka, Mariah Carey’s ex-boyfriend and backup dancer, publicly addressed their recent breakup in a social media statement on December 26, 2023. The 40-year-old dancer described the decision to part ways as “mutual” after seven years together. Tanaka expressed gratitude for the shared time and memories, emphasizing the enduring impact of their artistic collaborations.
The couple’s history dates back to 2006, when Tanaka joined Carey’s Adventures of Mimi tour. Their relationship became public in 2017, following Carey’s split from ex-fiancé James Packer. Speculation about their breakup arose when Tanaka was noticeably absent from Carey’s tour in mid-November, and reports noted his absence during the holiday season in Aspen, Colorado.
Tanaka acknowledged Mariah Carey’s dedication to family and craft, expressing love and appreciation for her and her children. He requested understanding, privacy, and respect during the sensitive time. Despite Carey not issuing a statement, Tanaka thanked fans for their support and expressed anticipation for future endeavors in inspiration, dance, and the creative arts.
