Mariah Carey dumped by billionaire fiancé

Popular American singer and actress, Mariah Carey, and her billionaire fiancé, James Packer, have reportedly split.

TMZ reports that the relationship between the pair has been plagued with issues but the deal breaker for Packer came when the 46-year-old had some sort of rendezvous with one of the dancers in her Vegas show.

Woman’s Day suggests that the 49-year-old Australian businessman dumped the pop star after they had a falling out over her upcoming reality show, Mariah’s World, because he was sceptical about the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world

The singer’s “extravagant spending” was also said to be a factor in the split, a source saying: “James is very generous but Mariah takes it to the next level.”

Another source of tension for the couple was that Mariah refused to support Packer at his sister’s 50th birthday party in Sydney, Australia, earlier this year, and Packer’s mother, Ros Packer, did not get along well with the Grammy award-winning artiste.

Packer, however, has allowed her to keep the 35-carat engagement ring he gave her when he proposed to her in January.

Mariah was previously married to Nick Cannon in 2008, but they divorced in August 2014. The marriage produced five-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe.

The ‘Dream Lover’ singer was also married to record executive, Tommy Mottola, for five years from 1993 to 1998.
