As spotted on Bossip, the iconic songstress may have a new man in her life. Earlier this month, she was seen out and about with Anderson .Paak in Aspen, Colo. While neither performer addressed the nature of their outing, it seemed that the two were out on a date. Now, it looks like the two might be an official item, as they were spotted again in the snowy vacation town on Sunday (Dec. 29.) Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak were holding hands leaving Duemani, a popular Mediterranean restaurant in the area. She was wearing a three-quarter black fur coat with a shimmery dress. He, on the other hand, played it more casual with a newsboy cap, a blue suit and a tweed overcoat.

An unnamed source tells The Sun to be close to them says the pair have been hanging out for several months now. “Mariah and Anderson have been hanging out for months, and have a flirty connection,” the insider says. “But he has a reputation as a ladies’ man in Hollywood and is still legally married to his wife.” Anderson .Paak met his wife, Jaylyn Chang, while at music school. They would wed in 2010 but would file for divorce back in January. They share two children Soul Rasheed and Shine Tariq. Mariah Carey also has two children Monroe and Moroccan, with ex-husband Nick Cannon.
