Singer-songwriter Mariah Carey and ex-husband Nick Cannon have been separated for several months already. According to TMZ, Cannon filed for divorce on December 12, 2014.
After the failed marriage, Carey has moved on and has even found a new love in the person of James Packer, 47.
In a separate report from TMZ, Packer is the fourth wealthiest billionaire down under with an estimated worth of $4.6 billion as per Forbes.
He's been in the entertainment business for long. Packer sold a media company and now owns a number of hotels and casinos around Australia and other countries. The two met through their friend Brett Ratner.
The business tycoon fell head over heels with Carey's charm that according to sources close to Mariah, he aggressively pursued the artist until he eventually succeeded, TMZ has learned.
Carey just enjoyed a grand vacation in Capri, Italy with her twins and Packer. The family stayed on Packer's yacht. Carey has several shows in Las Vegas this July and opted to take the said vacation to unwind and relax. It is also a good time for the artist to hang out with her new lover.
Throughout the vacation, Carey spent quality time with her children, Monroe and Moroccan, while they stayed at Packer's luxury yacht.
The "American Idol" judge posted a picture on Instagram where she could be seen carrying her daughter. She captioned it: "#girls time #capri #minime."
She also posted a picture of her son looking at a distance with binoculars and captioned it: "Boys will be #boys #capri #rocstarr, " E! News reports.
The lovers were seen dining at the famous Aurora restaurant Mia D'Alessio. Carey seems to love this restaurant because she managed to visit it every time she spends a vacation in Capri, E! News has learned.
Those who saw the lovers testified that both were very happy. "They seemed very happy, relaxed, at ease in each other's company," one eyewitness told E! News. "She looked beautiful in her red dress."
E! News reports that when the couple dined, Carey ordered "pizza dell'acqua, " a very thin pizza topped with red hot chili peppers and mozzarella cheese. The artist also relished herself with clams and zucchini fettuccini paired with red wine. Only the lovers were spotted at the place, Carey's children were not with them.
Earlier that day, Carey and Packer were seen holding hands while walking as they visit local businesses to shop for special items. Check out their photo here.
Despite Carey's separation with Cannon, she still took the time to greet her ex-husband for Father's Day. She took a photo of Roc and Roe, each holding a paper with drawings and messages for their dad to read. Carey posted it on her Instagram.
