Mariah Carey might pretend to be happy, but truth is that she’s very devastated by the way her relationship ended, says a source. According to some news report, James Packer called off the engagement without warning, hitting the singer like a bombshell. According to an insider, Carey learnt about the break-up from the news. The problem started in Greece with some sort of outburst from Packer which was loud enough for other people to hear. The father of three complained about things becoming too much, and was quoted as saying, “I don’t know if I can do this. I can barely take care of my children.”
The couple planned to meet up in L.A. following the Greece incident, to discuss their issues as adults, but never did. The day before the meeting was suppose to hold, Carey found out via the press that Packer had called off their engagement. According to a source, The 46-year-old ‘One More Try‘ hit maker and Packer never met up after that, and they haven’t spoken. “The way the split news was handled was incredibly upsetting to her,” says a source. Some people are speculating that the lap dance Carey gave to one her back-up dancers ‘Bryan Tanaka‘ made Packer jealous, which led to the break-up. The couple met at a movie premier in Aspen Colorado in 2014 and got engaged in January 2016. Packer proposed with a 35-carat diamond ring.
