*Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak continues to fuel dating rumors after a cozy dinner date last month.
On December 29, the pair was photographed leaving a Mediterranean restaurant in Aspen, holding hands. Mariah, 55, and Anderson, 38, spent hours dining together, with one image capturing Anderson kissing Mariah’s hand. They appeared very close, with MiMi resting her arm on his chest and Anderson wrapping his arms around her waist.
Though their collaboration on recent songs initially led to speculation that their relationship was strictly professional, sources close to the duo told The Sun that there’s undeniable chemistry between the two artists.
“Mariah and Anderson have been hanging out for months, and have a flirty connection,” one insider claimed. “But he has a reputation as a ladies’ man in Hollywood and is still legally married to his wife.
Despite filing for divorce in January after 12 years of marriage, Anderson .Paak is still legally married to his estranged wife, Jae Lin, a Korean musician. The couple share two children—13-year-old Soul and 6-year-old Shine.
