Mariah Carey's got a new man


Her troubles behind her, Mariah Carey is looking forward to the future with a new guy nearly a decade younger than her - hunky R&B singer Tyrese. "When Mariah laid eyes on Tyrese, she flipped," says an eyewitness at New York City's trendy Serafina eatery, where the two hooked up. "They hit it off instantly, laughing right up till closing time. That's when they whipped out their electronic organizers and exchanged phone numbers." Fate brought the duo together. Carey, 32, recently had been visiting her sick father Alfred in a New York hospital and only stopped by Serafina to pick up her cousin Sean, who's staying with her while visiting from Harvard.
It was love at first sight when Carey, dressed provocatively in a low-cut top, jeans and her trademark glittery butterfly necklace, spied Tyrese, 23, grabbing a late-night snack at the restaurant. After spending a little time sipping wine with pals, Mariah asked to be introduced to the strapping star of the John Singleton movie Baby Boy. "They talked all night and were two of the last people to leave the restaurant at 4 a.m.," says another source.
A year ago, Carey was at the lowest point in her life. Her boyfriend Luis Miguel dumped her, and she suffered an emotional meltdown. She went berserk in a New York City hotel room and spent time at Silver Hill Hospital in New Caanan, Conn. - the same place they recently treated Billy Joel. On top of her love woes, there was the fiasco of her movie Glitter, which bombed at the box office. And her record company, EMI/Virgin Records, gave her the heave-ho.
But she's singing the blues no more. With a sweet new $20 million record deal from Def Jam/Universal Records in hand, her career is back on track. And she's thrilled about finding love with Tyrese. "Mariah looks rested and happy and doesn't ramble on like she used to before her breakdown," says the source. "The only thing missing in her life is a new guy. But judging by how well she and Tyrese got along, he may be just the man to capture her heart."
