Mariah Carey has made it abundantly clear in the past that she’s not one to follow traditions.
The singing sensation celebrated her birthday in style with her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka. As has been the case with the couple throughout their relationship, the whole thing was well-documented via social media.
Mariah, who turned 47-years-old, has made a habit of treating her birthday more like an anniversary. She does have a point, but something tells us this is her trying act like she’s better than everyone.
Bryan was the one who shared the pictures, and it sure looks like the pair indulged in a relaxing getaway to ring in the momentous occasion.
“Starting the anniversary festivities in a relaxing, chic environment #HappyAnniversary,” Tanaka captioned to his 136,000 followers.
In another picture, he looked out to the ocean, with Mariah (presumably) taking the picture of him.
“Everyone can use a little zen time. Soaking in the moment and recaliberating my spirit #MuchLove #BlessingsOnBlessings,” he captioned.
Does it seem like the couple is trying to make everyone jealous of their trip?
We kid, mostly.
On a more serious note, viewers did get to see another side to Mariah during her stint on Mariah’s World.
That reality series showed a more vulnerable version of the star who has been known for her diva behavior.
That reality series also showed fans the burgeoning relationship between Mariah and Tanaka as they grew closer.
It’s just a shame her being portrayed in such a good light was tarnished by her botched New Year’s Eve performance that found the star refusing to continue with a performance.
The reason? Technical issues. It was, however, blown out of proportion when Mariah’s team made claims that she had been sabotaged.
Maybe this break will do Mariah more good than Bryan. Either way, we hope she had a wonderful birthday anniversary.
