Now, Anderson a three-time Grammy winner and one half of soul group Silk Sonic with Bruno Mars, has raised eyebrows about their potential relationship.
While participating in a game to guess songs being played on the podcast Track Star, Anderson beamed from ear to ear when Mariah's song, Always Be My Baby, began to play.
Track Star host, Jack Coyne, then instructed the musician to open up his jacket and show the t-shirt he was wearing underneath.
Anderson revealed the shirt was emblazoned with a black-and-white image of his rumored girlfriend.
He correctly guessed the song saying: "This would be Mariah Carey. The Mariah Carey.
"I remember like, fifth grade or something, just watching the music video and having a huge crush."
When Jack then asked if he and Mariah would ever work on music together, Anderson revealed: "We're working on some music. On her new album."
The drummer's reaction to hearing a Mariah song did not go unnoticed by music fans who reacted in the comments section of the video posted to Instagram.
"The way he smiled for ear to ear at the mention of Mariah 😍," wrote one person.
Another added: "Paak rocking the Mariah shirt!"

And a third wrote: "Track Star breaking news re: Paak and Mariah."
The famous musicians reportedly developed a "flirty connection" while working together.
"Mariah and Anderson have been hanging out for months, and have a flirty connection," a source told The Sun in December.
"But he has a reputation as a ladies' man in Hollywood and is still legally married to his wife."
Anderson filed for divorce from Korean musician Jae Lin, in January 2024 after 12 years of marriage.
The former couple share two children; Soul, 13, and Shine, six, and court documents show Anderson has requested joint legal custody.
The U.S. Sun understands Mariah and Anderson first began working together around June - when Anderson posted a video of the pair at Electric Lady Studios in New York.
He admitted in the clip, which was shared to TikTok, that he was blown away by working with her.
Anderson said: "You ever been starstruck, like when a star strikes you, that what it was. [But] I couldn't just like freeze up, we had to get in the studio and just make some [music]."
Mariah was then pictured celebrating Halloween at Anderson's new West Hollywood bar, Andy's, in an Instagram photo shared to the venue's official account.
She went all out wearing a sexy rubber cat outfit and was seen playfully touching the face of a man believed to be Anderson dressed up as Daft Punk.
The stars were seen hand-in-hand at Catch Steak in Aspen before Christmas, with Mariah dressed to impress in a tweed skirt, knee-high boots, and a white shirt.
She covered up in the cold in a giant matching brown tweed coat with fur lining.
Anderson also posted Mariah on Instagram back in November.
He wrote: 'WE HAD A THRILLER NIGHT TO SAY THE LEAST! BIG SHOUTS TO EVERYBODY WHO CAME OUT TO @andys_weho FIRST EVER HALLOWEEN PARTY! IT WAS A STONE GROOOVE JACK!! SEE YAH NEXT YEAR!'
After their cozy meet-up last year, sources told TMZ the pair are not dating but have been in the studio again in Aspen.
The U.S. Sun reached out to Mariah and Anderson's reps for comment but did not hear back.
Mariah was previously married to American businessman Tommy Mottola from 1993 to 1998.
She later wed Nick Cannon in 2008, and they welcomed twins Monroe and Moroccan in 2011, but they split up in 2014.
Mariah was also previously engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer and in 2024 split from dancer Brian Tanaka after seven years together.

Love Island fans convinced show couple have secretly SPLIT after spotting tell-tale sign
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have been left convinced that one show couple have already split as the show comes to an end. Eagle-eyed viewers think it is all over for one recently rekindled pair who were dumped from the ITV2 show just days before the final. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island fans think Conor and Megan have already split Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Conor failed to acknowledge Megan in his thank you post after the villa Credit: Instagram Megan and Conor managed to rekindle their connection after the Irish stunner re-entered the villa for a second time this series. In a telling move, Conor failed to acknowledge or thank his villa partner Megan in his post-villa social media message. Taking to Instagram after being booted and just moments before the final, Conor wrote: "The craziest 8 weeks of my life. Thank you so much for all the support. "Hope I did all you guys proud, especially my Irish people." Conor went on to share a series of snaps with his fellow axed Islanders but failed to post a photo with Megan. He further congratulated winners Toni and Cach in another social media snub to Megan. Viewers watching along at home were also left trying to spot them together in the audience with many claiming they could not be seen - fuelling further speculation that the pair could have secretly split over the weekend. One fan wrote online: "I havent seen Conor and Megan together all night!!" As another added: "Anyone spotted that Conor and Megan were sat apart?!" Elsewhere, when Megan was brought up to the sofa to be interviewed by Maya, she was not joined by Conor. Love Island champs Toni and Cach reveal how they'll spend £50k winnings as they beat Shakira and Harry Fellow couples Tommy and Lucy and Ben and Andrada were featured together in the segment. Megan and Conor were dumped from the villa just days before the final after failing to be voted as one of the most compatible couples in the villa. Following their show axe, fans noticed how Megan and Conor did also tellingly not return for the show's final vote - which resulted in the axe of Dejon and Meg. On Sunday night, 18 former Islanders returned to the villa to vote out one couple from the new bottom two, which comprised of Angel & Ty and Meg & Dejon. Fans quickly noticed the couple's absence and questioned why they did not take part despite still being in Spain and appearing on After Sun. The Sun can now reveal the real reason why Megan and Conor were absent from casting a vote with the other Islanders. "They were dumped as part of the public vote that also decided who was in the bottom two couples - so it wouldn't have been fair to let them vote," a source told the The Sun. "The vote was only for people who had been axed in previous dumpings, not the current one." 4 Megan was not joined by Conor in her first screen interview Credit: Shutterstock Editorial

The One Show presenter Alex Jones has been on the BBC programme for 15 years after making her debut back in 2010. Back in 2010, Alex Jones stepped into the presenter's chair on The One Show, taking over from Christine Bleakley. Ever since, BBC audiences have watched her chat with an array of famous faces, from Helen George and Don Warrington to Matt Damon and Catherine Zeta Jones, who recently left viewers utterly stunned. This month signals Alex's 15th anniversary at the helm of the programme, something she acknowledged during Monday's opening, reports Wales Online. As the show began, the 48-year-old warmly welcomed back co-host Ronan Keating following his extended absence. She declared: "Look who is back for one night only, it's lovely Ronan." He responded: "Alex, thank you, it's good to be back. Especially, as this month marks 15 years of you on this show." Alex exclaimed: "Stop! Stop, I can't believe it, they're going to send me back any minute." The Boyzone singer remained tight-lipped as he informed BBC watchers his mouth was zipped, though hinted more details about the anniversary would emerge on Friday's episode.

Pamela Anderson breaks silence on Meghan Markle's 'rip off' Netflix cooking show
Pamela Anderson has finally spoken out on viral claims Meghan Markle 'ripped off' her cooking show with Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. Fans of the Baywatch bombshell, 58, were left incensed when the former working Royal, 44, debuted her latest TV venture - which bore eerie similarities to Pamela's Cooking With Love, which premiered earlier this year on Prime Video. The Naked Gun star Anderson opened up on Sunday's Watch What Happens Live! with host Andy Cohen asking her: 'On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela's Cooking with Love?' Anderson, who was appearing alongside new love and co-star Liam Neeson responded: 'One. I didn't - I didn't really look, but I mean, I didn't invent cooking shows' adding that Markle 'is just doing her thing.' The drama erupted when Prince Harry 's wife gave People magazine some of her top domestic tips ahead of the release of With Love, Meghan, in March. These included how to 'elevate' a normal dinner – such as after ordering a takeaway. Citing Chinese as a favorite delivery option, Markle told the US magazine: 'I like being able to do a hybrid, but even when I get a takeout I will try to plate it beautifully.' And discussing her new trademark As Ever – after she failed to secure copyright branding for her original name, American Riviera Orchard – she insisted: 'It's a learning curve. 'I appreciate everyone who gave me the grace to make mistakes and figure it out and also be forgiving with myself through that.' The two former TV stars live more than a thousand miles apart, yet both were smiling and giggling in brightly lit country kitchens, filming aspirational cooking with photogenic friends and famous celebrities. Both are seen carrying wicker baskets of fruit and vegetables picked from their gardens, dancing with joy, and gleefully high-fiving their celebrity guests. Both series are even the same length: eight episodes. When Meghan's first episode was shown, it prompted withering complaints that she had copied Pamela's winning formula. 'So similar it's freaky,' said one reviewer, while others branded Meghan's series 'inauthentic' and 'copycat'. More charitable observers might put this down to coincidence, as neither show seems to deviate from the wholesome template of many an aspirational cookery program. However, while Markle filmed her series last summer, with the first trailer making its debut in January, Anderson's was commissioned back in February 2023 by Canadian broadcaster Flavour Network. And its trailer has been available for all to see since last October. Last month it was claimed Markle and Prince Harry's hopes of a new Netflix deal are 'dead' after their two most recent shows flopped, Meghan's lifestyle show failed to break into Netflix 's top 300 programs for the first half of 2025 and was even thrashed by multiple seasons of Suits. A second season of With Love, Meghan, was announced by the Duchess herself as the first season came out in March this year as part of the couple's $100million deal with the streaming giant, which expires this year
