Mariah Carey and her devoted partner, Bryan Tanaka, have decided to part ways due to their differing desires.

Why Did Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka Split?

The 14-year age difference between them ultimately contributed to Bryan Tanaka, who is 40 years old, yearning for a future that didn't align with Mariah Carey, who is 54.

According to the insider who spoke with Page Six, their desires for the future seem to diverge regarding family plans. While he dreams of starting a family, she has a different mindset.

The notable absence of Bryan was absent from the "Merry Christmas One and All!" tour, which kicked off at the Yaamava Resort and Casino in California.

Bryan, a dancer for Mariah since 2006, entered a romantic relationship with her in 2016.

According to an additional insider, the split occurred because the dancer desired to embark on his journey and establish an independent life.

Adding to the mounting speculation that their relationship had ended, Mariah Carey recently shared that she had experienced quite a challenging year.

"The anticipation for this Christmas has been building within me for an entire year. Since the previous year, to be exact, as it wasn't the most memorable one," expressed the "Butterfly" hitmaker.

Despite being appreciative of all the past holiday seasons, Mariah Carey admitted that the recent Christmas experience fell short of being the most enjoyable one.

The Grammy winner and Bryan were last seen together during her birthday celebration in March.

In 2017, the former couple also decided to go their separate ways, only to reunite shortly afterward.
