Mariah Carey’s team took her phone to keep dancer ex away

It’s not often Mariah Carey gets told what to do.

But the superstar’s inner circle are taking no risks in their bid to stop her getting back together with boy toy Bryan Tanaka.

The Sun can reveal the diva had her phone confiscated to prevent her from contacting the dancer, whom she began dating after the end of her relationship with billionaire fiancé James Packer.

Tanaka has been locked out of Carey’s home and even blocked from re-entering by security.

But he has told pals that Carey wants him back and that she is having a meltdown over it.

A source said: “Mariah has been in a good place since the split and her team are worried Bryan could harm her well-being should they get back together. They’ve gone all out to stop it from happening, taking some drastic steps. Bryan is convinced Mariah is still in love with him, and the fact he believes she is having some sort of breakdown has only increased his determination to contact her.”

Carey dumped Tanaka last month after a whirlwind five months together, much to the relief of her team.

He certainly enjoyed his time as the diva’s plaything — traveling the world with her and having intimate birthday and Valentine’s Day celebrations.

A source close to the dancer said: “Bryan feels he was there for her when she was really down. He was Mariah’s rock and doesn’t get any credit for it. Deep down he knows Mariah said she was in love with him, which is why he is not prepared to give up on the relationship.”

Meanwhile, Carey’s ex-husband Nick Cannon had been playing down rumors their relationship could be back on.

But just days later, the former couple, who split in 2014, were spotted in Disneyland in California, celebrating the sixth birthday of their twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

Those two getting back together would certainly be a fairy tale.
