Mariah Carey and her longtime boyfriend Bryan Tanaka have sparked breakup rumors after seven years of dating.
Mariah has been dashing through the snow on her Merry Christmas One and All! Tour and Tanaka, who is typically by her side for the holiday season, has been nowhere to be found, according to People.

While People couldn’t confirm the split, they received word from a source that the “All I Want For Christmas Is You” singer is spending Christmas in Aspen, Colorado without Tanaka.
The couple has been together for the holidays every year since they began dating in 2016, and fans’ eyebrows were raised with him not around this year.

They met in 2006 when Tanaka joined Carey on her Adventures of Mimi Tour. They worked professionally for about a decade before Mariah and the dance choreographer went to another level and began seeing each other romantically in 2016.
The “Touch My Body” singer hinted at possible life changes to People earlier this year: “I’ve been looking forward to this Christmas for, like, the whole year. Since last year — because last year wasn’t the greatest.
“I’m thankful for them all, but it wasn’t my most fun version of Christmas ever. Come hell or high water, this year, this Christmas, we are going to have fun.”

Tanaka and Carey appeared to be a happy couple in March when they celebrated their seventh anniversary together, which the choreographer commemorated with a post to Instagram.
It’s unclear what led to the split as of press time. However, Mariah has continued to slay the Christmas season by her lonesome as she wrapped up her tour last week.
She’ll go away for the holidays to spend time with her twins Monroe and Moroccan — whom she had with Nick Cannon — before traveling across the globe to Abu Dhabi for a one-off special show on January 6.
Mariah Carey received another gift in her stocking when “All I Want For Christmas Is You” returned to the apex of the Billboard Hot 100 this week.
