Mariah was first linked to longtime backup dancer Bryan Tanaka in November 2016, not long after splitting from James. By February 2017, the couple was Instagram official, but just a few months later, a source for TMZ reportedly confirmed their split after five months together. They later rekindled their romance and have been in an on-and-off-again relationship ever since, though Mariah does not mentioned the relationship in her memoir. Bryan made his most recent appearance on Mariah's Instagram grid in April 2020, and Bryan took to Instagram to celebrate Mariah's memoir on the day of its publication with a sweet post, so it seems that the two are currently together.
