In an interview with Gayle King<\/a> for CBS Mornings, Mariah Carey<\/a> was asked about the rumors she’s dating Anderson .Paak<\/a> and dodged speaking about her ex-husband, Nick Cannon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Carey has been rumored to be romantically linked with .Paak since last year, and they’ve stopped short of confirming anything ever since. The two have been recording music together, but when asked about it by King about what’s going on with them she commented on how they’ve been seen holding hands in public. “He just likes to hold my hand. He just grabs my hand\u2014I don\u2019t know what he\u2019s doing,” she said.<\/p>\n King attempted to get more of an answer from her, asking if they were just friends or collaborators. “He’s a hand-holding club,” she said. “That’s what it is.” King highlighted that he attended at the Mariah at Christmas last year, and Carey replied, “He enjoyed it.”<\/p>\n Later in the interview, she was asked how she’s been handling co-parenting with her ex-husband Nick Cannon, and she appeared to dodge the question. “I kind of feel like it’s best if I don’t talk about him, because he can just be in his own world,” she continued. “No offense to him.” The former couple share two children, but Cannon has his hands full with all the other children he has.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.
