Bruno Mars Breaks Silence? What He Really Thinks About Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey
OPINION: This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
In the world of celebrity relationships, speculation runs rampant—and when Anderson .Paak and Mariah Carey sparked dating rumors, fans naturally turned to those closest to them for insight. As a longtime friend and collaborator of Anderson .Paak, Bruno Mars is among those people might expect to weigh in on the pairing. While Mars hasn’t publicly commented on the rumors, his history with both artists sheds light on what he might think about the situation.
A Friendship Rooted in Collaboration
Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak first joined forces as Silk Sonic in 2021, creating an album that not only won Grammys but also solidified their personal bond. Mars has referred to working with .Paak as “a cheat code,” praising his artistry and the natural chemistry they share. Given their camaraderie, it’s unlikely Mars would have anything but support for his friend’s personal life.
Professional Respect for Mariah Carey
On the other side of the equation, Mars shares a musical history with Mariah Carey, having collaborated with her on a remix in 2012. Both artists are members of an elite group of chart-topping hitmakers, and there’s no record of any tension between them. If anything, Mars’s respect for Carey as an icon and an artist would likely lead to a neutral or positive view of her rumored romance with .Paak.
A Preference for Privacy
Mars has long been known for keeping his personal life out of the public eye. His decade-long relationship with model Jessica Caban has rarely been the subject of headlines, and Mars himself once called her his “best friend” and “rock.” It stands to reason that, rather than comment publicly on his friend’s romantic life, he would maintain his trademark discretion.
A Likely Perspective
While we may never hear Mars discuss the rumors directly, all signs point to him being supportive or at least neutral. His close friendship with .Paak, professional admiration for Carey, and overall preference for privacy suggest that Mars is simply happy to see his friend thriving—whether that’s in his music career or his personal life.
