00:00 Mariah Carey and longtime boyfriend Brian Tanaka have called it quits.

00:03 The couple's split has officially been confirmed after he was missing at several shows.

00:07 As of late, Carey and longtime boyfriend Brian Tanaka called it quits because the

00:14 former backup dancer wanted kids. Page Six broke the latest news about this uptake,

00:18 claiming the discussion of starting a family together was what really broke the two apart.

00:22 It's Alan Waddy reporting.

00:23 This source from Page Six came forward claiming that Tanaka wanted to have a family,

00:27 but quote, "that is not where she is at on Mariah's side apparently."

00:30 As of now, Carey shares 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon. Tanaka,

00:35 on the other hand, does not have any children of his own. The fantasy singer and the backup

00:39 dancer were together for nearly seven years before calling it off.

00:41 Now, many suspicions were raised when the Queen of Christmas went on her annual trip

00:45 to Aspen, Colorado, solo. She was wearing a lot of expensive attire many loved. In addition,

00:50 Tanaka was missing for the Merry Christmas One and All tour that started in November at the

00:55 Yamavac Resort and Casino in Highland, California. Tanaka worked as a dancer with Carey starting back

01:00 in 2006, and the two started dating in 2016. One source also told Page Six that quote,

01:05 "he wants to start having his own life."

01:06 Speculation further fueled for this relationship when Carey recently told People earlier in the

01:10 month that she was having a tough year. The Grammy winner and Tanaka were spotted together

01:14 last on her birthday in March. Carey broke up with Tanaka in 2017, as some recall,

01:19 but the two ended up getting back together shortly after.

01:21 As of now, Carey's iconic song "All I Want For Christmas Is You" took over the number one spot

01:26 from Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" on the Hot 100. The song has collectively

01:30 spent a total of 63 weeks, its total lifetime, on the Billboard Hot 100 and makes Carey more

01:35 than $3 million each year. There has been no public comment from Mariah Carey on her relationship as
