Mariah Carey Rings in 2025 with Glamour and Romance
Pop icon Mariah Carey, 55, dazzled her fans with a series of sultry photos shared on Instagram to celebrate the arrival of 2025. Known for her unmatched style and charisma, Carey stunned in a backless nude gown embellished with sparkling stones, perfectly showcasing her hourglass figure.
Adorned with a “Happy New Year” tiara, the “All I Want for Christmas Is You” singer posed against a festive backdrop featuring shimmering balloons and a beautifully lit Christmas tree.
“Happy New Year!!!!!!” she captioned the post, sending warm wishes to her 14 million followers.
But the New Year wasn’t just about glamour for Carey—her post comes on the heels of confirming her budding romance with Anderson. Paak, 38, during her annual holiday retreat in Aspen.
Romance in the Snow
Carey’s yearly tradition of performing Christmas concerts followed by a luxurious retreat in the snowy mountains of Aspen, Colorado, took a romantic turn this year. Joining her usual companions—her 13-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, whom she shares with ex-husband Nick Cannon—was Anderson Paak, the talented musician and producer.
The couple was spotted sharing an intimate evening at the upscale Italian restaurant Duemani on Sunday. Holding hands outside the celebrity hotspot. Paak was later seen tenderly kissing Carey’s hand during their meal, according to an eyewitness.
A source exclusively told:
“Anderson is a fun, charismatic guy. He’s witty, smart, and brings so much joy to everyone around him. Mariah has truly connected with his vibrant energy and is thoroughly enjoying their time together.”
The insider emphasized that their relationship is blossoming naturally:
“They’re not forcing anything or making it overly serious. It’s easy, fun, and carefree for both of them.”
Adding to the intrigue, the source revealed:
“If things keep progressing like this, the sky’s the limit. They’re simply enjoying each other’s company without overthinking it.”
Collaboration in the Air
Beyond their personal connection, Carey and . Paak have reportedly discussed collaborating musically. However, much like their relationship, they’re letting the creative process unfold organically.
The pair was also seen dining at the chic Catch Steak in Aspen earlier in the week. While their chemistry was undeniable, sources close clarified that the two left the restaurant separately and insisted they are keeping things light.
Complicated Past
Despite their budding romance, .Paak’s personal life adds complexity to the story. The Grammy-winning artist is still legally married to his wife, Korean musician Jae Lin, from whom he filed for divorce in January of last year. The couple was married for 12 years and shares two children: Soul, 13, and Shine, six.
A source close to the situation revealed:
“Mariah and Anderson have been spending time together for months and share a flirty relationship. But Anderson has a reputation as a ladies’ man in Hollywood, and technically, he’s still married.”
Carey, no stranger to public scrutiny, seems unfazed by the headlines. With her signature grace, she’s entering 2025 on her own terms—balancing a thriving career, motherhood, and a touch of romance.
As she embarks on this new chapter, fans can only expect more of the glitz, glamour, and unforgettable moments that have defined Mariah Carey’s legendary journey.
Here’s to another dazzling year for the queen of pop!
