After a whirlwind romance, Maria Carey and James Packer has called off their engagement. Packer has called off their engagement stating her reality TV show and 'extravagant spending' as the reasons behind the split.
The 49-years old casino mogul dumped his 46-years old pop singer girlfriend as she prepared to reveal her life on TV reality show, Mariah's World. Moreover, he blames her extravagant spending habit ,to be another reason behind their split.
Notably, Packer had huge reservations about Carey revealing their lives to the world. But, Carey put the final nail in the coffin by not attending the birthday party of Packer's sister in Australia, reports Daily Telegraph. Moreover, Packers family and Carey were having a hard time trying to gel. And, it seems that tension was brewing between the couple for quite some time.
The couple got engaged last January and Packer gave Carey a 35 carat $10 million diamond engagement ring. The couple was pretty open about their relationship and they were often seen together holidaying or spending time with each other.
Post engagement, the couple was thinking of walking down the aisle soon and Carey even said on her reality show that her wedding to Packer will be one of the most important events in her life. She further stated that it would be a low-key affair.
But now with the Carey and Packer split, things have taken a different turn. Reportedly, Packer has decided to allow her to keep the diamond ring, inspite of parting ways in their love life.
In other reports, it is being said that Carey has taken a fancy for one of her Vegas backup dancers and it is another reason that led Packer to call it quits with Carey, reports Daily Mail.
Notably, post their split, Parker has turned to his former wife Jodhi Meares for support, while Carey is spending time with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon, and their kids.
