Mariah Carey And Boyfriend Bryan Tanaka Reportedly Break Up

The duo started dating in 2016.

Mariah Carey's "Endless Love" for her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka has come to an end.

After seven years of dating, the duo has reportedly decided to pump the breaks on their relationship, according to TMZ. The Grammy winner fell madly in love with Tanaka –who has also been her backup dancer– in 2016.

It appears their conflicting hopes for the future have led them to draw the line in the sand. Tanaka wants to have children, while Mimi has already crossed those items off her list. She and her ex-husband Nick Cannon are parents to a set of 12-year-old twins: son Moroccan, and daughter Monroe. 

Rumors of their split began to surface after Tanaka was noticeably absent from Carey's shopping day while in Aspen, Co. In times past, Tanaka reportedly took this winter trip with her.

Another clue sparking chatter of a split is that Tanaka has been absent from her current tour. This is not the first time the couple has gone their separate ways; in 2017, they called off their love but decided to spin the block shortly after.

So will these two do the same this time around? Or will Mimi start belting out notes to "It's A Wrap?" Only time will tell.
