Cape Town – Mariah Carey and James Packer are reportedly engaged.

E! News exclusively reported that the Australian billionaire proposed to Mariah in her hometown on Thursday evening.

As expected the 45-year-old’s engagement is said to be a master piece weighing in at 35 carats.

It comes as no surprise that the couple are set to tie the knot. Their romance started in June last year and they have been inseparable since.
