Mariah Carey Officially Confirms Her Relationship With Backup Dancer Bryan Tanaka But Wants To Keep Things Private...

It looks like Mariah Carey and her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka, are having more than just a fling. 

The 46-year-old "I Don't" singer just confirmed her relationship with 33-year-old Tanaka when she referred to him as her "boyfriend" in a recent interview with the Associated Press.

"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," Carey told the Associated Press. "I just don't feel comfortable talking about my personal life … Me and my boyfriend don't want to do that."

Carey is known for dodging interview questions, so none of this comes as a surprise.

There you have it folks, their relationship is real after all. The pair has been seen together a lot recently, vacationing in Hawaii, holding hands on the set of her reality show, and cozying up in a hot tub on her Instagram.

Considering Carey just got out of a bad relationship, it makes sense she wants to keep things under wraps until the right moment. Good move, Carey.
