Mariah Carey and James Packer

Mariah and Packer started dating in June 2015 and got engaged in January 2016 but the duo seperated in October 2016 after they fought in Greece.

In an interview with a news source, James Packer disclosed that his relationship with Mariah Carey, was a “mistake” that he entered into during a “low point” in his “personal life”.

The pop queen is currently dating her young back dancer, 35-year-old Bryan Tanaka and she is also fighting what her reps claim is a “frivolous and baseless” lawsuit brought by her former manager, Stella Bulochnikov, who alleges that Carey sexually harassed her by often being naked in front of her.
