Mariah Carey sparks romance rumors with Anderson .Paak as they maintain arms getting into Aspen restaurant
Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak raised eyebrows as they were seen enjoying dinner together in Aspen.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the Leave The Door open singer, 38, sweetly held her hand as they entered Catch Steak restaurant on Sunday evening.
He even gently had his hand wrapped her around her waist as they ducked into the eatery and, ever the gentleman, appeared to hold the door open for her.
While the duo’s display may have suggested they were an item, sources insisted to TMZ the two are not dating, and the musicians were even observed leaving the restaurant separately.
Mariah, 55, and Anderson are currently collaborating on a new musical project, and the duo have been hitting up a recording studio in Aspen as of late, according to insiders.
On Thursday, the duo were reportedly enjoying a dinner break from all their hard work at Catch.
