Mariah Carey and Brian Tanaka
The couple, Mariah Carey and Brian Tanaka, have separated, as the latter said in a post on Instagram.
Brian’s message read: “It is with mixed emotions that I share this personal update regarding my amicable separation from Mariah Carey. After seven extraordinary years together, our decision to go our separate paths is a mutual decision that we do with deep respect, overwhelming admiration, and a sense of gratitude for the priceless time we shared.” The memories and artistic cooperation remain engraved in my heart forever.”
Brian continued: “Maria’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 appreciation for Maria and her wonderful children, whose warmth and kindness have enriched my life in ways that words cannot describe.” While Maria did not comment on the matter, the public noticed that Tanaka was not present at most of Maria’s events, and did not join her and her children in celebrating Christmas.
