She has recently found love again following the breakdown of her engagement to James Packer. And Mariah Carey certainly looked like a woman in the first throes of romance as she enjoyed dinner with her new man Bryan Tanaka last night.
Grinning broadly, the 46-year-old strutted her stuff with the dancer following just behind, just days after they made their romance public. Showing off her amazing figure she wore a skintight black dress which featured a plunging lace-up neckline. She teamed the racy number with a pair of fishnet nights and of course a large diamond necklace.
Earlier in the evening the couple had appeared on stage together during the opening night of her Mariah Carey: All I Want For Christmas Is You shows at New York's Beacon Theatre. Wearing a striking white gown, Mariah clutched Bryan's hand as she sang her classic Christmas hit, before he lifted her onto his shoulders alongside another dancer.
The night before, the couple attended the official launch of her E! docu-series, Mariah's World, and the 46-year-old looked completely smitten with her younger beau as they cosied up to each other. And speaking to E! News, Bryan, 33, admitted the feelings were mutual, saying: "I've always had a thing for Mariah. I love her so much. We've been friends for a long time. I do a little dance move here and there and we have a good time. It will be fun."
Bryan served as one of Mariah's back up dancers on her recent Sweet Sweet Fantasy Tour, but have grown even closer since the shows came to an end. He continued: "Something connected with us back in the day and there was just a mutual admiration. She saw something in me that I actually didn't recognise at first, from that it was over. It was set in history that we were gonna be connected some way, some how."
However Mariah was much more coy about their romance and whether it will play out on screen, saying: "I don't know. We'll have to wait and see." The singer did discuss their longtime friendship though, adding: "It's really nice, especially when you've worked with somebody in the past and then you get to work with them again and just see how everybody's grown creatively and all that."
Mariah's nine-month engagement to James Parker came to an end in October after he reportedly ended things with the iconic diva over her "extravagant spending" and disagreements over her fly-on-the-wall reality show Mariah's World.
