Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka made the decision to break up after many years of dating because of their glaring differences.
The confirmation of their split comes after the 54 year-old singer kicked off her Merry Christmas One and All! Tour in November and the choreographer was nowhere to be seen.
Page Six has now quoted an exclusive source claiming that the two broke up because Bryan wanted a family.
“He desires a family of his own. “That is not her location,” they said.
Mariah, who already shares 12-year-old twin boys Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon, has a 14-year age gap with Bryan, who does not have children of his own.
“He wants to start having his own life,” said an additional insider.
The estranged couple made their last appearance in March when the dancer took to his Instagram account and wished the All I Want For Christmas Is You hitmaker ‘happy birthday’, which also happens to be their anniversary.
The two got together for the first time in 2006 when Bryan assisted Mariah with her traveling Adventures of Mimi tour.
After working together for 10 years, Mariah became romantically involved with the choreographer in 2016.
