Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey are officially a couple — according to a source close to the pair, at least.
Us Weekly reports that .Paak and Carey have been dating for several months after crossing paths as collaborators last year.
“Their dates have been very far apart because of schedules, but it’s been going on a few months,” a source told the publication.
.Paak is described as being “very smitten” with Carey, despite their 16-year age gap, while the “Obsessed” singer thinks the Silk Sonic star is “very sweet” and “loves how musically inclined” he is, according to the insider.
A separate source claimed that .Paak is the first person Carey has “truly been interested in” in years and he “won her over quickly” with his charming personality.
The two artists also reportedly “have a lot in common,” including both being parents to teenagers.
Rumors have been circulating that Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey are an item since December when they were spotted looking intimate while leaving a restaurant together in Aspen, Colorado.
During their outing, Anderson could also be seen with his arm around Mariah’s waist and holding the door open for her.
Though neither artist has yet confirmed the speculation, the Oxnard native played it coy when quizzed about his relationship with Carey while out shopping in Aspen.
Asked by The Shade Room if he had bought anything for the pop star, he replied with a bashful laugh: “You never know!” before grinning from ear to ear.
More recently, the pair were photographed attending the iHeartRadio Music Awards together in Los Angeles.
Carey’s love life was also recently the subject of discussion during a Cam’ron interview.
The “Boy (I Need You)” collaborators were romantically linked in the past, with the speculation resurfacing in 2023 after Killa Cam posted pictures on Instagram of himself and Carey with the caption: “I’m The friend you shouldn’t worry about.”
On his YouTube show Talk with Flee, the Dipset legend set the record straight on their relationship, saying: “She’s a friend. She’s a good friend. It’s nothing less or nothing more than that. She’s a super-duper good friend. We were never together. We were never a couple, nothing like that.”
Must be another one of those PR relationships because everybody in Hollywood knows this dude is straight up gay.
Talking about yourself again. It’s okay to admit it. It’s acceptable now.. especially if you are a Drake fan like me
If so then he’s prolly tearing that ahh up then. Sorry if that hurts your feelings lol.
Smitten by her forehead. Both of them are a match made in the XXL FiveHead department
I need to hear Eminem diss him since Eminem’s been infatuated with Mariah Carey for over 20 years.
I swear all these 30s and 40s cats who date her close their eyes and imagine 90s Mariah when they do he wrinkly ass.
good for anderson paak hope they make songs together as well
I admire the support of one gay dude, to another. Way to go sis!
I used to beat my meat to Mariah in the 90’s. But she’s too old now . At least she’s not making a fool of herself like Madonna is
