In 2005, Mariah began romancing model Christian Monzon, who she met on the set of her music video "Don't Forget About Us." However, she played it coy when asked about the relationship during a January 2006 interview with The Mirror. "Okay, he's a very nice guy, he's been in a fabulous Dolce & Gabbana advert — did you see it? — and we've had some nice conversations and, um, a nice time," she said, adding, "Okay, I'll say he definitely did a very good job in the video." It's unclear how long the two dated or why they eventually split.
