The pair have been professionally linked for years, with Brian first taking to the stage with Mariah on her Adventures of Mimi tour in 2006.
Speaking to E! News about his early career with the songstress he said: “She saw something in me that I actually didn’t recognize at first, from that it was over.

The Heartbreaker singer was engaged to Australian businessman James Packer, but their split was announced in October 2016.
