Following her breakup with ex-husband Nick Cannon last year, is another man making Mariah Carey feel all the butterflies again? Photos of the singer and filmmaker and director Brett Ratner went viral these past few days sending speculations that the two might be the newest love item in Hollywood today.
Latino Fox reported that Carey and Ratner was seen together while shopping at St. Barts over the weekend. Despite the fact that they are with another female friend, rumors about the romantic connection between the two sprouted due to their "affectionate behaviour" toward each other.
Carey and Ratner were also spotted together during the latter's birthday in a posh yacht owned by a friend of his. TMZ revealed that that both are in "full-blown couple mode" while sailing the Bahamas.
Radar Online write that Carey and Ratner are longtime friends who have developed a special bond just recently. A source of the publication wrote, "Their relationship has progressed in recent weeks and is now very serious. They're a hot couple."
The website reported that the two jetted off to St. Bart's on March 27 for a joint birthday getaway. Ratner's birthday was on the 27th and Carey's birthday was the day after that. The two were said to have left L.A. aboard a private jet on Friday.
It was also reported that Ratner was at the singer's side following her divorce where the director accompanied Carey at the Hercules premiere in 2014.
Add to those sightings the fact that Ratner have been posting photos with Carey on his Instagram account lately, and anyone would instantly assume that the two are indeed dating.
Just recently, Ratner posted a photo with Carey and Courtney Love on his Instagram account captioned, "I love these ladies @mariahcarey and @courtneylove." He also posted another photo of the two of them captioned, "Young and beautiful my #Aries siter @mariahcarey." Carey on the other hand has also posted Instagram photos of Ratner on her Instagram account as well.
Now, is it safe to say that they are dating? Well, Ratner's rep responded with a big "NO".
During in an interview with People, Ratner's rep mentioned that the issue of Carey and Ratner dating is "ridiculous".
"They have been best friends for a very long time," the rep added. Apparently, Carey and Ratner have worked together on so many projects in the past where Ratner have directed a lot of music videos for longtime pal Carey which includes "I Still Believe," "Heartbreaker," "Thank God I Found You," "We Belong Together," "Touch My Body," "Obsessed," and "H.A.T.E.U."
With Ratner's rep setting the records straight, it will be expected that rumors may die down soon. Carey, on the other hand, hasn't made any statement as of yet.
