Bryan Tanaka has confirmed his "amicable" split from Mariah Carey.
The 40-year-old dancer has taken to social media to announce that he's split from Mariah, 54, after "seven extraordinary years together".
Bryan wrote on Instagram: "Dear friends and fans, with mixed emotions, I share this personal update regarding my amicable separation from Mariah Carey after seven extraordinary years together. Our decision to embark on different paths is mutual, and as we navigate these separate journeys, we do so with profound respect and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the invaluable time we've shared. The memories we've created and the artistic collaborations are etched in my heart forever.

I eagerly anticipate continuing my journey, knowing my passion for inspiration, dance and the creative arts will resonate in the unfolding chapters.

The dancer confirmed their split shortly after Mariah - who has 12-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband Nick Cannon - revealed that she was particularly looking forward to Christmas this year.
Speaking to PEOPLE, she explained: "I've been looking forward to this Christmas for, like, the whole year. Since last year - because last year wasn't the greatest. I'm thankful for them all, but it wasn't my most fun version of Christmas ever."
