April 11 (UPI) -- Music superstar Mariah Carey has ended her five-month romance with her backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka.

"The split happened very recently. Mariah ended it -- everyone hoped that she would. She has better things to focus on," a source close to Carey told People magazine.

"Mariah is happy. She is focusing on her kids and new music," the insider said. "Bryan was a good distraction after she split from James. This is a good time for her to be single and focus on herself."

Carey is divorced from entertainer Nick Cannon, the father of her twin, 5-year-old son and daughter. She was briefly engaged to Australian billionaire James Packer, but they broke up last October.

The Grammy winner is working on a new album, due out later this year.
