A source also told UsWeekly Carey felt her fiance wasn't 'present' enough for her.

'James has not been present for her so she unfortunately couldn't make it work and had to leave him,' an insider said. 

The split was first reported by Woman's Day's in Australia, with a family friend revealing: 'It's all over.'

The publication also claimed that the tycoon has allowed her to keep her $10m diamond engagement ring.

Mariah Carey's billionaire fiance James Packer 'was jealous of backup dancer' as it's revealed couple haven't seen each other in a month amid increasingly messy split.

James Packer was 'jealous' of Mariah Carey's backup dancer and choreographer Bryan Tanaka, a new report claims in the wake of the news of the celebrity couple's dramatic split.

TMZ claimed Thursday night that 'sources connected with Mariah' had revealed the tension between the Australian billionaire and Tanaka that led to a showdown last June.

The website claims that following a loud argument between the two men, 'Packer used his casino ties to get Tanaka banned from Caesar's Palace', where the songstress has a residency.

It has become a very messy and dramatic end to the love story between the 46-year-old songstress and the 48-year-old businessman.

The couple have not seen each other in over a month after a fight while on a romantic European vacation, her spokesperson has said.

The pair's engagement unraveled during a stay on a luxury yacht in Greece in September.

'James is one of the most successful businessmen in the world. They are trying to work it out, the spokesperson continued.

'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.'

Allegations made about Packer's conduct on their Greece trip have branded 'simply untrue' by his camp.

Packer was noticeably absent from the Vision Of Love hitmaker's Halloween party over the weekend, where the star was seen posing for photos with her ex-husband Nick Cannon and their twins.
