Mariah Carey has stylishly confirmed officially that her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka is her boyfriend. She said this in an interview with AP.


When asked about her highly publicized, but never directly confirmed romance with Tanaka, Carey let slip that he was her “boyfriend.”

"I’m just going to be like ‘I really don’t talk about my personal life.’ Because that’s what I used to do and it really worked for a minute, back, a while ago," she said.

"I just don’t feel comfortable talking about my personal life. … Me and my boyfriend don’t want to do that."

It was gathered that her estranged fiancé, James Packer issues with the singer’s relationship with Tanaka, who was working as a backup dancer on Carey’s world tour.
