James Packer "couldn’t wait" to get married to Mariah Carey days ago.
The Australian billionaire has reportedly called off his engagement to the ‘Without You’ hitmaker but it was only a short time ago that he shared his excitement about their upcoming wedding.
According to TMZ, the e-mail from James to Mariah read: "I’m in love with you and can’t wait to get married and be together forever. There’s a song I’m listening to now that’s got lots of meanings and I hope it makes u smile. When you get caught between the moon and New York City best that you can do is fall in love. All my love, laughter, light, respect and appreciation and admiration … Thank you my fiancee and soulmate. (sic)"
And Mariah reportedly never saw the split coming but understood that the pair had some problems to work through.
A source said previously: "She read the news in Woman’s Day Australia that said he dumped her. Mariah knew they were having problems, but all relationships have issues – it wasn’t the kind of thing where she thought she’d read in the paper that she got dumped … She was devastated; she was shocked.
"He’s more private. She always has her whole entourage and he couldn’t take that … Being in such a public relationship was fun for James at first, but then it got to be too much and he wanted his normal life back."
And it is unlikely that Mariah – who has five-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with her ex-husband Nick Cannon – will be expected to give the ring James bought her back.
An insider shared: "She doesn’t have to give the ring back because she didn’t call off the engagement.
"She had every intention of marrying him – she had a dress, her daughter had a dress, they were excited, they were making wedding plans. Then, on the last day [of their Greek vacation], he said, ‘I can’t do this anymore, this is just too much.’"
