DESPITE her team denying a romance with Bryan Tanaka, Mariah Carey has been photographed locking lips with the 33-year-old back-up dancer on a beach in Hawaii.

The dancer was rumoured to be the reason behind the singer’s split with billionaire James Packer last month.

Did Mariah Carey and James Packer break up because of Bryan Tanaka?

“They were all over each other, making out and not wanting to be more than a few feet apart,” said an eye witness of what happened during the pair’s beach outing.

“They swam in the ocean and he picked her up to kiss her. She was jumping into his arms, and he bent her back over his knee like they were dancing.

Then they walked on the beach holding hands, and he gave her a piggyback ride. They had a lot of fun together, and were very playful. She was kicking up the water to splash him, and he was laughing.”

With the trailer for her new TV series showing Carey’s team laughing about Tanaka’s crush on the singer, it seems the dream has become a reality for the dancer.

Mariah Carey and Bryan Tanaka have been spotted out at a number of high profile events since her break up with James Packer.

Whether their eventual romance will make it to air remains to be seen. The E! series debuts on December 4.
