Singing superstar Mariah Carey will be walking down the aisle for their third time after accepting boyfriend James Packer’s proposal – and his 35 carat rock, valued at $7.5 million.
The 45-year-old singer, one of the best-selling R&B artists of all time, has been married twice before – previously to music executive Tommy Mottola, and most recently to actor/entrepreneur Nick Cannon.
Packer, said to be worth $4 billion, divorced model and singer Erica Baxter in 2013.
The Australian casino billionaire, 48, asked the singer to be his wife during a private dinner in New York, which was also attended by her closest friends.
