Mariah Carey broke up with her partner, Bryan Tanaka, because she wanted children, according to “Page Six.” It seems that the age difference – 14 years to be exact – played a decisive role in their decision to go their separate ways. Mariah Carey is 54 years old and Bryan Tanaka is 40 years old.

“He wants to start a family. She is not at this point“, says the man who spoke to the medium. Carey shares 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon. Tanaka, on the other hand, has no children of his own. The couple broke up after 7 years of relationship.

Bryan Tanaka was also absent from her “Merry Christmas One and All” tour, which kicked off in November at the Yaamava Resort & Casino in Highland, California. Tanaka worked as a dancer alongside the famous singer in 2006 and they started dating in 2016.He wants to start having his own life“, said the same man.

Carey “sparked” breakup rumors when she told People a month ago that she’s had a tough year. “I’ve been looking forward to this Christmas all year. From last year – because last year wasn’t the best“, said the “Obsessed” singer.
