Mariah Carey covered some special Christmas issue of People Magazine, and I believe that\u2019s how People Mag got the \u201ctip\u201d that Mariah and Bryan Tanaka had split. From the sound of it, they broke up months ago and the whole thing was barely a story because\u2026 honestly, people forgot they were together. They\u2019ve been together since 2016 (they got together quickly in the wake of her split from James Packer) but they\u2019ve never been joined at the hip, and it seemed more like a relationship of convenience and stable PR more than anything else. My point is that no one really gave a sh-t about Bryan apart from Mariah, but now we\u2019re getting \u201chis side\u201d of the breakup. Apparently, he wants children. <\/p>\n
\nMariah Carey and her longtime boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, have called it quits because he wanted kids, a source tells Page Six exclusively. We are told that the age gap of 14 years played a role with Tanaka, 40, wanting different things than Carey, 54.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants to have a family. That\u2019s not where she is at,\u201d says the source.<\/p>\n
Carey shares 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with her ex-husband Nick Cannon. Tanaka, on the other hand, does not have children of his own.<\/p>\n
The \u201cFantasy\u201d singer and backup dancer were together for seven years.<\/p>\n
Eyebrows were raised this week when the Queen of Christmas went on her annual trip to Aspen, Colo., solo. Tanaka was also missing from her \u201cMerry Christmas One and All!\u201d tour that started in November at the Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland, Calif.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe wants to start having his own life,\u201d another source told us of the split.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
[From Page Six]<\/p>\n
This is something of a trend this year too – men initiating a split or divorce because they suddenly realize that they want to be a father. It was the same with Joe Manganiello and Sofia Vergara. Like\u2026 did Bryan just realize that after seven years with Mariah? I don\u2019t know – it is what it is, if he wants something different or he just realized that he wants to be a father, so be it. Y\u2019all know that Mariah wants no part in having another round of Dem Babies. You know what? I kind of hope Bryan got a nice check to go away quietly and not make too much noise. I wonder.<\/p>\n
