Mariah Carey beams with Christmas cheer as she models for Chanel in Aspen… despite splitting from Bryan Tanaka ‘because he wants kids’

Mariah Carey gave no indication of her personal troubles as she stepped into Chanel during her annual Christmas trip to Aspen on Friday.

This week it emerged she had split from her boyfriend of seven years Bryan Tanaka, 40, who started out as one of her backup dancers.

Although Bryan has been a mainstay of Mariah’s previous Aspen trips, he was nowhere to be seen during her vacation there this week.

His absence fueled the already growing breakup rumors – which were subsequently confirmed when a source was informed Page six that they went their separate ways because he wants to have children and she doesn’t.

However, Mariah, 54, betrayed no trace of fear as she showed up in Aspen on Friday, beaming with Christmas spirit as she walked down the sidewalk.

Not far behind her was hairstylist to the stars Johnny Stuntz, who worked on several of her looks this holiday season.

Mariah and Bryan were under a cloud of breakup rumors before an insider broke the news to Page Six on Wednesday.

Noting that there is a fourteen-year age difference between the longtime couple, the source explained, “He wants to start a family. That’s not where she is.’

Although Bryan does not have any children yet, Mariah is already a mother of two and has 12-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with her ex Nick Cannon.

Bryan and Mariah haven’t been seen together since March, when he posted an Instagram photo of the two to wish her a happy birthday.

Meanwhile, Bryan has not been seen on Mariah’s Instagram page for almost a whole year – his most recent appearance there dates back to Boxing Day 2022.

Mariah is currently in Aspen, indulging in a little relaxation after one of her extensive Christmas concert tours, which have become a holiday tradition.

During a concert earlier this month at Madison Square Garden, she went viral for bringing both Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson on stage.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Bryan was also not seen with Mariah as she traveled around for her Christmas tour this year.

In years past, fans could see Bryan dancing on stage during Mariah’s Christmas shows, but this holiday season he wasn’t part of the program.

Bryan and Mariah have known each other since 2006, when he worked as one of the backup dancers on her Adventures Of Mimi tour.

Over the next decade, Mariah married and divorced steamy comedian Nick Cannon, with whom she shares Monroe and Moroccan.

After her divorce from Nick, Mariah embarked on a whirlwind engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer, which broke up in 2016.

She started dating Bryan later in 2016, and with the exception of a brief breakup in 2017, they remained together ever since until this year’s rumored breakup.

Although they rarely discussed their relationship in public, Bryan did open up about their connection E! News in 2016, shortly after they first got together.

“There used to be something connected between us and just a mutual admiration,” the stage performer said.

‘She saw something in me that I didn’t recognize at first, but from that moment on it was over. It was a given in history that we would be connected in one way or another.’
