When last seen, she paired her tutu skirt with leggings and cuffed fleece-lined boots and protected herself from the cold in a quilted anorak.

Against an otherwise all-white outfit, Mariah added a pop of color in the form of pink bubblegum-rimmed sunglasses.

During a concert at Madison Square Garden earlier this month, she went viral for bringing both Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson on stage.

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Bryan also wasn't seen with Mariah when she traveled to her Christmas tour this year.

After her split from Nick, Mariah began a short, whirlwind engagement to Australian billionaire James Packer, which fell through in 2016.

Later in 2016, she got together with Bryan and, with the exception of a brief split in 2017, they have remained together since then, until this year's breakup rumors.

Although they rarely spoke publicly about their relationship, Bryan gushed about their connection to E! News in 2016, shortly after they first met.

“There was something connected to us back then and there was just mutual admiration,” enthused the stage artist.

“She saw something in me that I didn't recognize at first, and from then on it was over.” “It was set in history that we would be connected in some way.”
