After several rumors that made noise online, Mariah Carey and her boyfriend Bryan Tanaka is finally official! For the first time, the 46-year-old singer called Tanaka as her boyfriend during an interview with the Associated Press.

"I'm just going to be like, 'I really don't talk about my personal life.'

She also said that although her kids have their school and teacher and that they are doing really well, they simply don't love school. However, they are happy to come along with the "When You Believe" singer's tour especially knowing that there are other kids, too.

Mariah Carey, whose famous exes involved Nick Cannon and Eminem, had referred to Tanaka as her boyfriend for the first time. However, despite being mum about their relationship. the singer had already proudly opened up about her current boyfriend on ET this month.

She said that "he's overall romantic" and that Tanaka has a lot of amazing qualities.
