According to Australian publication Woman’s Day, 48-year-old billionaire casino don, James Packer, has called it quits with fiancée Mariah Carey over her ‘extravagant spending’ as well as a falling out over her new reality TV show, Mariah’s World.
‘It’s all over,’ a family friend allegedly confirmed to the publication this week. ‘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.’
The glossy magazine also claimed that the tycoon has allowed her to keep her $10m diamond engagement ring. The pair became engaged in January after a whirlwind romance of less than a year.
The duo remained coy on the details of their impending nuptials, but Mariah did suggest that the wedding would be a low-key event rather than an ostentatious affair.
‘I can’t really talk about them right now because everything is still being figured out,’ she teased, noting, ‘I never said it was gonna be a big wedding’, she told People magazine, earlier this year.
The seemingly unlikely couple first set tongues wagging in June last year when images emerged of them holding hands strolling around the romantic island of Capri in Italy.
