Mariah Carey hadn’t seen fiancé James Packer in over a month before he called time on their relationship earlier this week.
After The Sun Online reported their split yesterday, a spokesperson for the star has now revealed there’s been no contact between the pair since an explosive fight during a romantic trip to Europe in September.
Mariah’s rep said: “Mariah and James had a fight in Greece, and have not seen each other since.
“The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah.”
The spokesperson added: “James is one of the most successful businessmen in the world.
“They are trying to work it out. Right now, they’re not sure if they will stay together.
“They are discussing it, and plan to release an official statement together about their future.”
Australian publication Woman’s Day first reported the split on Wednesday.
They claimed the billionaire businessman, 48, had called time on his romance with the 46-year-old pop star over her “extravagant spending” and disagreements over her fly-on-the-wall reality show Mariah’s World.
A source close to the couple are said to have told the publication: “It’s all over.
“James had huge reservations about Mariah’s new reality TV show and the fact that she was willing to expose their lives to the world.”
The magazine also claims that James has “allowed” the singer to keep her extraordinary £8 million engagement ring.
It is also reported that the couple came to blows after Mariah “refused” to attend James’ sister Gretel’s 50th birthday party in Sydney.
The source added: “When she refused to come to Australia for Gretel’s birthday party it created a lot of tension in the family.
“His mum hated to even hear her name mentioned, and James’ tight circle of friends never really thought they would marry.”
