Mariah Carey continues to spark dating rumors with Anderson .Paak, one-half of the Grammy-winning duo Silk Sonic, after the two were spotted together in Aspen.
The pair enjoyed dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant in the celebrity-favored holiday destination on Sunday, December 29, accompanied by close friends.
Mariah dazzled in a sleek black dress paired with a statement necklace, while Anderson looked sharp in a long gray coat and a stylish hat.
Adding to the speculation, Anderson was seen holding Mariah’s hand as they left the restaurant and helping her into her car—a gesture fans have interpreted as romantic.
Sources told TMZ the duo spent a couple of hours dining and sharing intimate moments. Anderson reportedly kissed Mariah’s hand at the table, and the two appeared touchy-feely, with Mariah resting her arm on his chest.
This isn’t the first time the pair has been seen together. They were previously spotted leaving Catch Steak restaurant in a similarly flirty manner.
However, insiders insist the relationship is purely professional, noting that the two are collaborating on new music and have been working in the studio together in Aspen during the holidays.
Mariah, known for her affectionate nature, has been seen holding hands with other male friends during outings in Aspen, suggesting her interactions with Anderson may be platonic. Nevertheless, their warm chemistry has fans buzzing.
While Aspen’s chilly weather has everyone bundling up, Mariah and Anderson are keeping things cozy—whether it’s for music or simply good company.
