It seems Mariah Carey might have a new man in her life. The music legend, 55, has been spotted with Grammy-winning artist Anderson .Paak, 38, sparking rumours of a budding romance.

The two were recently seen holding hands during what appeared to be a dinner date at a high-end Italian restaurant. According to onlookers, Anderson was spotted kissing Mariah's hand across the table, which has left fans buzzing.

While neither has confirmed the relationship, insiders suggest the duo has been spending a lot of time together over the past few months, including a holiday getaway in Aspen during the festive season.

However, sources told TMZ that the pair are simply collaborating on music. Still, their chemistry seems undeniable. An insider told The Sun, “Anderson is joyful, funny, and infectiously positive, and Mariah is loving every second of it. They have a flirty connection and are just having fun with no pressure to define the relationship.”

It’s worth noting that Anderson recently filed for divorce from his wife of 14 years, Jae Lin, with whom he shares two children. For now, fans will have to keep guessing whether this is a musical partnership, a romance, or perhaps a bit of both.
