Bryan Tanaka Smitten By Mariah Carey

Choreographer Bryan Tanaka, who is reportedly dating celebrated singer Mariah Carey says, he had always had a soft corner for the singer. He added that he had always been in love with Carey since the start, saying that he "always had a thing" for her.

The Without You hit maker Mariah Carey had attended the premiere party for 'Mariah's World' in New York City with her choreographer partner Bryan Tanaka. The couple gushed about their admiration for each other.

"I've always had a thing for Mariah. I love her so much. Just make sure you tune into the show and you'll see kind of how everything happens ... We've been friends for a long time. I do a little dance move here and there and we have a good time." Tanaka said in a statement.

"It will be fun ... Something connected with us back in the day and there was just a mutual admiration." Tanaka added.

Tanaka also said that he had always felt that he and Carey will get connected in some way.

"She saw something in me that I actually didn't recognise at first, from that it was over. It was set in history that we were gonna be connected some way, some how," Tanaka added further.

Speculation about their relationship started to ripen when the couple were seen holidaying together in Hawaii.
