Mariah Carey certainly was not alone on Valentine's Day. On Tuesday, the Grammy-winning singer took to social media with a photo of herself and boyfriend Bryan Tanaka. If there was any question about who Carey spent Valentine's Day with, the music maven made it crystal clear when she captioned the photo, "Valentine’s marathon continues. Hour 23!"
Over on his Instagram account, Tanaka shared the same photo, declaring Carey his "Valentine". Meanwhile, fans couldn't help but notice the timing of the star's post, just a day after her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, released his new song, "Alone".
In a press release, the new track was described as "an ode" to Carey and samples her 1990 hit, "Love Takes Time". The release noted, "Nick speaks to his feelings then and now." "This is for anybody else who is alone on Valentines Day," he shared on Instagram. "I had to come raw from the heart on this one."
The song was largely interpreted as Cannon pining for Carey, nearly a decade after they called it quits. On his talk show Wednesday, Cannon clarified to viewers, "The song wasn’t really about trying to get her back. It was taking ownership of what I did as a man and owning my flaws and expressing it through song."
During their six-year marriage, Carey and Cannon welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe together. However, in 2014, they separated and Cannon ultimately filed for divorce that December.
