Guess what hit the headlines this week? Mariah Carey and her main squeeze Bryan Tanaka just pulled a classic breakup move after 7 whole years of partnership. Yep, you heard it right – the diva and the dance-floor maestro have officially hit pause on their relationship.
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the 54-year-old songbird and the 40-year-old dance sensation go way back to 2006 when they started their professional dance-off. Fast forward to 2016, they decided to spice things up and give dating a whirl. And you know what? For years, they’ve been going at it like a pair of synchronized swimmers at the Olympics, except with more glitter and high notes.
But hold your sequins, because the rumor mill has churned out the secret sauce behind their split.
Apparently, Tanaka’s got a craving for the whole family deal – you know, the picket fence, the whole shebang. The inside scoop? Mariah’s not exactly on the same page of the fairy tale. The source spilled the beans to Page Six, saying, “He’s all about diapers and bedtime stories. Mariah’s more about high notes and red carpets.”
And here’s the kicker: “He’s itching to kick off his own solo adventure,” chirped another insider. Translation: Tanaka’s ready to swap dance shoes for daddy duties, and Mariah’s still belting out ballads like it’s nobody’s business.
Now, we can’t help but wonder if the breakup conversation went a little like this: “It’s not you, it’s me. I want baby booties; you want stilettos. We’re just two stars orbiting different galaxies, babe.”
Oh, and did we mention Mariah’s got twin tycoons from her past gig with Nick Cannon? Yep, Moroccan and Monroe, aged 12, are probably wondering why their mom’s dating life is more complicated than their math homework.
A breakup saga sprinkled with glitter, high notes, and a dash of “It’s not you, it’s diapers.” Let the dance of singledom commence!
