Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak Step Out for Dinner at Malibu's Nobu

The pair made an appearance at the celebrity favorite Nobu in Malibu, California over the weekend, departing the restaurant after an evening out with a group of companions.

Carey, 57, turned heads in a cropped black leather jacket layered over a black dress, completing the look with dark sunglasses and strappy heels. Anderson .Paak, 40—whose real name is Brandon Paak Anderson—opted for a standout bright blue blazer paired with a tan paperboy cap.

The dinner outing marks another public appearance for the two musicians, following a recent movie date where they were seen holding hands.

Dating speculation surrounding the pair intensified in December 2024 when they were spotted together during a holiday trip to Aspen, Colorado. Throughout 2025, multiple sightings captured them holding hands in various settings.

During an appearance on Keke Palmer's podcast in September, Carey revealed that she and Anderson first connected while collaborating on her album Here For It All. When the conversation turned to the dating rumors swirling around them, Carey remained playfully evasive, hinting that there may be "maybe a little love" between the two.
