Mariah Carey enjoys intimate dinner with backup dancer Bryan Tanaka Again after split from billionaire James Packer

Mariah Carey's worked up an appetite for romance.The 46-year-old was snapped at the West Hollywood eatery Berri's Cafe Wednesday with backup dancer Bryan Tanaka, who she's been spending lots of time with in the wake of her recent split with billionaire James Packer.

The Love Takes Times singer was a vision of beauty in a creme-colored jacket with a low-cut white top, tight blue denim jeans and leopard skin heels that matched with her purse. She wore her brown-blondish locks down and beamed on the warm Southern California evening.

Tanaka, a self described 'artist, choreographer, dancer, actor' and 'influencer,' per his Instagram page was dressed to the nines in a stylish blue jacket with black trim, a black shirt, black pants and white and gold Air Jordans.

The 33-year-old dancer has known the 46-year-old Emotions songstress for years, and has been spotted out with her numerous times in Los Angeles the past week.

On Monday, he was seen trick-or-treating with Carey and her daughter Monroe in Calabasas, where the trio used a golf cart to travel around.

Tanaka's cozy relationship with the Someday singer was a point of contention in her relationship with the Australian billionaire, so much so that the powerful business magnate used his connections to have the nimble-footed hunk barred from the grounds of Caesar's Palace, where Mariah performs as part of a residency, TMZ reported.

The decree came in June, while Tanaka was sidelined from performing with a hurt knee, so Carey did not push the issue, according to the outlet. The previous month, Carey raised eyebrows when she gave her backup a spicy lap dance on stage during a Johannesburg, South Africa show.

In related news, The New York Post on Wednesday reported that Carey was so anxious to tie the knot with Packer, she personally called ex-husband Nick Cannon, the father of her five-year-old twins Monroe and Morrocan, to sign papers in their long-running divorce to free her up to wed Packer in Bora Bora next March 1.

Despite Cannon's cooperation, her relationship with Packer came to a halt in September when the two had a blowout fight, which led to the end of their relationship.
