Mariah Carey and her longtime boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, have called it quits because he wanted kids, a source tells Page Six
The medium was also told that the age gap of 14 years played a role with Tanaka, 40, wanting different things than Carey, 54.
“He wants to have a family. That’s not where she is at,” says the source.
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.
The “Fantasy” singer and backup dancer were together for seven years.
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 “Merry Christmas One and All!” tour that started in November at the Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland, Calif.
Tanaka worked as a dancer with Carey starting in 2006 and they started dating in 2016.
“He wants to start having his own life,” another source told Pagesix of the split.
Carey further fueled speculation that the relationship was over when she told People earlier this month that she had a tough year.
