Love is in the air—and it’s got rhythm, soul, and a touch of glam.
After months of speculation, Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey are reportedly officially dating, according to Us Weekly and several close sources. What started as a creative collaboration in the studio has turned into a budding relationship between two of music’s most beloved artists.
“Their dates have been very far apart because of schedules, but it’s been going on a few months,” a source revealed, adding that .Paak is ‘very smitten’ with the Queen of Christmas. Carey, for her part, reportedly thinks Anderson is “very sweet” and “loves how musically inclined” he is.
From the Studio to Aspen to Something Real
The buzz started back in December 2024, when the two were spotted in Aspen, Colorado, exiting a restaurant with undeniable chemistry. Anderson had his arm around Mariah’s waist, held the door for her, and walked with the kind of body language that screamed more than just “collaborators.”
Their relationship flew under the radar at first—until Anderson .Paak appeared by Mariah’s side at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, sitting with her and her twins, Monroe and Moroccan. That public appearance sent the rumor mill into overdrive.
“He won her over quickly with his charm,” another insider claimed, noting that .Paak is the first person Mariah has “truly been interested in” in years.
Why It Matters
It’s not just the music community that’s watching—this pairing matters because it’s unexpectedly perfect. Both Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey are genre-bending trailblazers, each with decades of accolades, deep emotional range, and parenting responsibilities. They’ve both carved out spaces in music that transcend trends—and now, they’ve seemingly found common ground in love.
And yes, there’s a 16-year age difference, but insiders say that’s never been a factor: their connection is real, rooted in mutual respect and shared creativity.
