Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak recently made headlines after being seen together in Colorado. The duo went for dinner at Catch Steak while they were holding each other's hands and had smiles on their faces.
Anderson was spotted opening the door for Carey as they entered the restaurant, keeping his arm near her waist. According to Page Six, an insider reportedly claimed that the pair have been collaborating on a new musical project, and Carey's studio is located in Colorado.
Mariah Carey opted for a fur coat and skirt, completing her look with knee-high suede boots. Meanwhile, Anderson .Paak wore a black corduroy set and diamond-crusted sunglasses.
Speaking to TMZ, eyewitnesses stated that Mariah and Anderson reportedly did not leave the restaurant together. However, the duo's representatives are yet to reveal more details related to the outing.
Meanwhile, netizens took to the comments section of The Shade Room's Instagram post to share their reactions to the sighting of Mariah and Anderson. The post included glimpses from the restaurant, with one netizen commenting on .Paak's gesture of holding the door open for Carey, writing:
"You better leave the door open."
Another user described the moment as a "musical match made in heaven," while someone noted a funny response, saying that Mariah has a habit of holding the hand of the other person while walking. Additionally, one individual praised Anderson's personality, suggesting that he and Mariah Carey are having a lot of fun together.
There were more responses below the post where a user wrote that Mariah was looking good.
Mariah Carey previously teased a collaboration with Anderson .Paak
As mentioned, Mariah and Anderson's meeting occurred in Colorado due to their alleged collaboration on a new project. According to Hot New Hip Hop, .Paak had previously shared a few videos on his social media handle earlier this year, where he was seen at the Electric Lady recording studio.
A report by the Daily Mail stated that Anderson .Paak's videos even featured Mariah Carey, and the former was heard saying:
"Oh my God Mariah Carey. Listen, you ever be starstruck, like when a star strikes you? That's what it was. But I couldn't just freeze up. We had to get into the studio and just make something."
Back in November this year, Carey celebrated Halloween with Anderson, who shared an Instagram post posing alongside her at the time. Although Mariah has not disclosed any other details related to her reported collaboration with Anderson, she told Vogue magazine in June 2024:
"I've actually been working this whole week in the studio with someone who shall remain nameless, but I'm so excited about that. The next album is happening and coming soon, so be patient."
Notably, Mariah's last major album was Caution, released back in 2018. The project topped the Billboard charts and featured ten songs in the soundtrack.
