Mariah Carey, the Queen of Christmas, was spotted indulging in retail therapy in Aspen, Colorado, on Saturday evening, following her split from longtime boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka.
The 54-year-old singer was accompanied by her entourage, and as they were driven past several luxury shops, she chose to hop out and go inside Gucci. After entering the store, employees quickly locked the doors behind them, giving Carey and her crew the space and privacy to look around unbothered. It’s unclear if she made any purchases, but she looked good while perusing.
Carey rocked a cream-coloured cable-knit dress, black heeled platform boots, matching gloves, fuzzy earmuffs and chic sunglasses for the outing. She completed her elegant ensemble with long caramel tresses styled in tight waves. The singer shut down a Gucci store for some retail therapy. A swarm of fans gathered outside the establishment as the Queen of Christmas took in all the designer goods.
Carey has appeared carefree and happy since Page Six broke the news of her breakup with her longtime boyfriend. Last week, insiders told Page Six that the age gap of 14 years played a role in the pair’s separation, as 40-year-old Tanaka is at a different place in his life. “He wants to have a family.
That’s not where she is at,” one source shared, while another added, “He wants to start having his own life.” The powerhouse vocalist and the backup dancer were together for seven years; Tanaka worked for Carey starting in 2006, and they began dating in 2016. The duo briefly parted ways in 2017 but reconciled soon after.
The day after Christmas, Tanaka confirmed that he and Carey had called it quits for good, saying their “decision to embark on separate paths” was both “amicable” and “mutual.” He noted that he has an “overwhelming sense of gratitude for the invaluable time” they shared over the past several “extraordinary” years. Carey, for her part, has not addressed the split.
