A new report has shed some light on Mariah Carey and Anderson .Paak's relationship.
Mariah, 55, and Anderson, 38, were spotted holding hands as they headed to dinner together in Aspen on Sunday, and at the time sources told TMZ the pair were merely working on music together and were not romantically involved.
But a source has now shared with The Sun: 'Mariah and Anderson have been hanging out for months, and have a flirty connection.
'But he has a reputation as a ladies’ man in Hollywood and is still legally married to his wife.'
The source claimed Anderson has been 'pursuing' several women since filing to end his marriage to wife Jae Lin in January.
The report says some of the women he has been pursuing are '10 to 20' years older than him who also work in the industry.

'It wouldn't be a huge shock if he got together with Mariah,' the insider said, adding, 'He's not just hanging out with younger women.'
The source continued that the singer 'is a very very cool guy, fun and generous' man who probably isn't ready for a 'serious relationship at the moment.'
The latest outing comes days after the duo raised eyebrows following their dinner in Aspen.
In photos obtained by TMZ, the Leave The Door open singer sweetly held her hand as they entered Catch Steak restaurant on Sunday evening.
He even gently had his hand wrapped her around her waist as they ducked into the eatery and, ever the gentleman, appeared to hold the door open for her.
While the duo's display may have suggested they were an item, sources insisted to TMZ the two are not dating, and the musicians were even observed leaving the restaurant separately.
Mariah and Anderson are currently collaborating on a new musical project, and the duo have been hitting up a recording studio in Aspen as of late, according to insiders.
Anderson has been giving social media followers a sneak peak of their musical collaboration, and over the summer shared video of him and Mariah at the legendary Electric Lady music studios in the Big Apple
