Another power couple is apparently going to splitsville – Mariah Carey and James Packer have reportedly ended their engagement.
On Tuesday, an Australian publication revealed that Mr. Packer dumped Carey because he is tired of some of her actions. According to Woman’s Day, the billionaire is frustrated with the diva’s wild spending habits.
It appears that Carey has been going overboard with certain purchases, which include diamonds, lavish trips, and designer clothes.
A close friend of the mogul said that he ended the romance this week, but he wants his former fiancée to keep the $10 million diamond engagement ring he proposed with in early 2016.
According to the insider, Packer was also fed up with Carey going against his wishes. The Australian casino mogul did not want his future wife to take part in a reality show, and she ignored his pleas. A family friend told the magazine:
“It’s all over. James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world, her spending sprees had also played a major role in the split.James is very generous, but Mariah takes it to the next level.”
The former lovers, who started dating in the summer of 2015, also had a fallout after Carey declined to attend a birthday bash for Packer’s sister. The pal revealed:
“When she refused to come to Australia for [Packer’s sister’s] birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family. His mom hated to even hear her name mentioned, and James’ tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry.”
Since the split, Carey has been spending quality time with her young children and her ex-husband, Nick Cannon. As for Packer, he has turned to his first wife, fashion designer Jodhi Meares, for advice.
Carey is also making headlines for announcing the cancellation of her South American tour. This week, she said in a statement:
“To all of my lambs in South America, I am devastated that a portion of this tour had to be canceled. Thank you for all of the excitement and love – I hope to see you soon, my darlings.”
