Mariah Carey, 55, held hands with musician Anderson Paak, 39, during a coffee date in West Hollywood on Sunday night.
The two stars looked radiant and in love as they left Birds Street Cafe on March 23. Mariah wore her hair in a curly style similar to her younger days, and looked glamorous in a sparkly black jacket, miniskirt and high boots. Anderson Paak, meanwhile, looked comfortable in a plaid shirt and jeans.
Mariah Carey and the talented American singer-songwriter have been rumored to be dating because they often appear together. At the iHeartRadio Awards in Los Angeles last week, Anderson Paak accompanied Mariah and her twin children. He even walked her up the steps to receive the Icon award.

They were first seen together during the 2024 Christmas holiday in Aspen, Colorado. Mariah and Anderson attracted attention when they held hands leaving a restaurant in town. At that time, some sources said that the two were just close friends because they had collaborated on a recording last year.
Mariah Carey has been single for more than a year after breaking up with dancer Bryan Tanaka in late 2023. She and the choreographer, 14 years her junior, were together for 7 years. Previously, the Without You singer had two failed marriages, to music producer Tommy Mottola and MC Nick Cannon. Mariah also called off her engagement to casino millionaire James Packer in 2016. She has 13-year-old twins with Nick Cannon.
Mariah's current rumored boyfriend, Anderson Paak (real name Brandon Paak Anderson), born in 1986, is an American singer, rapper, songwriter and producer. He rose to fame with the critically acclaimed album Malibu (2016). He followed that with the albums Oxnard (2018) and Ventura (2019). In 2021, Anderson and Bruno Mars formed the group Silk Sonic, releasing the album An Evening with Silk Sonic, which was a huge hit. Their song Leave the Door Open reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and won four awards at the Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year.
