AceShowbiz - Anderson .Paak beamed with happiness in a new sighting amid rumors suggesting that he is dating Mariah Carey. The "Places to Be" rapper looked cheerful during a stroll in Aspen, Colorado after spending time with the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" hitmaker.
On Tuesday, December 24, a video of the 38-year-old hip-hop artist circulated on Instagram. In the short clip, it could be seen that he was on a shopping spree with who appeared to be his friend. He was walking next to the pal while carrying a big shopping bag. At one point, he kept his head low as he was focused on his smartphone.
During the relaxing walk on the cold day, Anderson was approached by a photographer. The spitter, who formed Silk Sonic with singer Bruno Mars, looked in good spirits as he was smiling from ear-to-ear in front of the camera.
Anderson told the paparazzo that he went out shopping ahead of Christmas. When the paparazzo asked if he had bought any gifts for Mariah, he could not help but burst into laughter. He continued giggling when the photographer brought up his recent fun outing with her.
Anderson's reaction to the questions about Mariah prompted social media users to think that they are really dating. One in particular commented, "The smile say it all," adding a laughing face emoji. Another chimed in, "Awww this is cuuuuute. He cheesing hard asf."
A third argued, "The laugh means he bought her something wildly expensive." A fourth added, "Awwww him in love with that big ole grin." A fifth, meanwhile, stated, "Being with Mariah is a flex, don't screw it up like Sperminator Cannon." The user was making a reference to Mariah's former husband Nick Cannon.
The footage came after Anderson and Mariah became the talk of the town following their delightful outing. On Sunday night, December 22, the two were seen holding hands as they entered Catch Steak, in Aspen. During the night out, the duo were also spotted laughing with his arm adorning her waist as he opened the door for her.
The pair's hand-holding and intimate gestures sparked immediate romance rumors. However, reports swiftly shot down the speculation, clarifying that they are not dating but are instead collaborating on new music. The two artists reportedly have been working in a studio in the city and decided to take a break to enjoy dinner together.
