While the singer kept her cards close to her chest, she shared a little bit more affection than in some of her previous comments. She told Gayle King on CBS Mornings that .Paak was in “the hand-holding club,” but declined to go into detail about their relationship.
“He just likes to hold my hand,” she told King. “He just grabs my hand. I don’t know what he’s doing.”
The collaborators were first spotted cuddling up to each other during a trip to Aspen around Christmastime in 2024. The Silk Sonic member, who contributed to the production of the new Carey album, celebrated the release of Here for It All on his Instagram.
“Thank you for letting me be a part of your epic journey,” he shared. “I’m forever grateful and truly humbled.”
Carey and .Paak recently performed “Play This Song” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. They also starred in the flirty music video for the track together, fueling fan speculation over their relationship.
