At 54, Mariah Carey continues to captivate audiences not only with her iconic voice and whistle-tone singing but also as a devoted mother to her twins, Moroccan and Monroe, shared with former spouse Nick Cannon.

Now, Carey finds joy in her relationship with 40-year-old backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, with sources indicating her contentment in this partnership.

Tanaka is described as attentive and fun-loving, contributing positively to Carey’s life and her relationship with her children. Beyond her personal life, Carey’s fitness journey has also captured public attention, especially given past media focus on her physique.

Motivated by a friend’s comment, Carey embarked on a healthier lifestyle, enlisting the expertise of a fitness and nutrition coach named Patricia. Carey’s fitness routine includes 60-90 minute sessions that blend resistance and cardio workouts, with swimming as a preferred exercise for its dual resistance benefits.

Dietary changes have also been pivotal for Carey, who once shared her strict regimen of Norwegian salmon and capers as her daily meal.

This commitment to health is driven by Carey’s desire for well-being and self-confidence rather than just weight management.

Embracing her age with a lighthearted approach, Carey chooses to remain “eternally oblivious” to the numbers, focusing instead on how she feels.

Recently spotted in a stunning black dress with elegant detailing, Carey’s appearance garnered admiration for her timeless beauty and fit physique, with fans reminiscing about her look from decades past.

This admiration from her followers, along with Carey’s own outlook on aging and health, underscores the notion that age, indeed, is merely a figure.
