Yes, it is official! Grammy Award wining super-star, Mariah Carey has got a new man and he is not just any man. His name is James Packer, the 4th wealthiest person in Australia. The 47-year old entertainment mogul who sold a media company and now owns a string of hotels and casinos around Australia and other countries is worth over $4.6 billion according to Forbes! ....(talk about a major upgrade, go on girlfried)!
According to reports, James has been aggressively pursuing Mariah for months and he succeeded. It appears the new relationship has the seal of approval of the billionaires ex-wife, Jodhi Meares.
See more after the jump!!!
The above photo was taking over the weekend in Italy where the couple spent the fathers day weekend with the kids and James' ex-wife, former bikini model, Jodhi Meares......(Hmmm, apparently, three is no longer a crowd)
Jodhi posted a photo of all three of them posing together on board Packer's Yacht 'The Artic P' in Italy on Sunday. In the photo, the singer stands in the middle wearing a glittering blue bikini top underneath a black dress, giving an awkward smile as she wraps a arm around her new love and his ex!
Is it just me or is this not the most awkward snap you've ever seen. Just look at the fake smile on Mariah's face #Priceless #Awkward #Lol!!!
Even the former model turn fashion designer, Jodhi appears uncomfortable, trying hard to offer a serious look into the camera. She simply captioned it "Amore"along with three love hearts. Packer seem to be the only one pleased to have his old and new love together, grinning widely for the shot....you go boy!
James and Jodhi wed in a lavish ceremony in Sydney in 1999, where Elton John performed for their 750 guest. The fashion designer called it quits just three years later with the pair separating in 2002 and divorcing shortly after. The breakdown was blamed on the casino mogul's company, OneTel going under and also different desires regarding having children. But it seems like the former couple have put the past behind them, and appear to have rekindled a friendship in recent years.
Packer reportedly supported Jodhi as she launched her fitness wear company, "The Upside", and also provided her the service of his private jet on several occasions following her recent split from partner of several years, rocker Jon Stevens.
Following his split from Jodhi, Packer went on to marry Australian model and singer Erica Baxter, but after six years of marriage, they filed for divorce in September of 2013. The marriage produced three children, 6-year old Indigo, Jackson who is 5 and 2-year old Emmanuelle.
Now, it's being reported that the primarily US based businessman has yet again found love with the Dream-Lover singer, who he met through his business partner, Hollywood director, Brett Ratner.
Mariah and James confirmed their surprised coupling by taking a romantic hand-in-hand stroll through picturesque Italian streets on Friday. Then on Saturday, the pair were pictured on board a speed boat as they relaxed together in the sun off the coast of Capri. It appears that boat James and Mariah had their kids with them.
45-year old Mariah has four year old twins, Moroccan and Monroe with ex-husband, Nick Cannon. The couple announced their intention to split in August last year.
On the same day that the Grammy Award winner went public with her new relationship, Cannon was spotted with a mystery brunette at Disneyland.
James is photoed here with the man who played cupid, business partner, Brett Ratner who is believed to be the one who brought him and Mariah together. Brett and James run a movie company named RatPac together....
The romance between James and Mariah has shocked people around the world who feels like the singer was moving too fast with her new man. Folks are saying that it's way too early to bring her new man around her children.
Do You Think Mariah is moving too fast? Sound off here people, we love to hear from you!!!
