Initially, Carey and Packer were not vocal about their relationship. However, on January 21, 2016, the couple announced that they were engaged. Nine months after the engagement, Packer decided to end their relationship. Sources claim that the two got into an ugly spat in Greece. Following this, Carey started spending more time with one of her backup dancers, Bryan Tanaka. Apparently, they went out to dinners and even attended a Halloween party together.
Another reported reason for their breakup was that Packer did not support the idea of Carey starting her own reality show, which focused on her tour as well as her personal life. James Packer and Mariah Carey have officially announced their split since, but according to some reports, she was still seen sporting Packer’s $10.0 million engagement ring on her finger in October.
