Singer Mariah Carey sparks romance rumor with Anderson .Paak after they were spotted holding hands in Aspen

Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak were spotted together in Aspen on Sunday night, igniting speculation about a potential romance.

 The duo dined at the upscale Catch Steak restaurant, holding hands as they made their way inside, with Anderson putting his arm around Mariah’s waist and helping her through the door.

The sighting, complete with their broad smiles and cozy gestures, had fans buzzing about the possibility of a new celebrity couple. However, sources close to the two quickly shut down the rumors, clarifying that Mariah and Anderson are not romantically involved.

Instead, insiders revealed that the pair is collaborating on new music and have been working together in a studio in Aspen. Their dinner outing was reportedly a break from their creative sessions. The collaboration follows a video Anderson shared over the summer of himself and Mariah at the famed Electric Lady recording studio in New York City, hinting at a significant musical project in the works.

Both Mariah and Anderson are currently single, with Anderson filing for divorce earlier this year. While their studio sessions remain under wraps, fans are eager to see what the two powerhouse artists are creating.
