James Packer says his relationship with Mariah Carey was a "mistake."
In an interview with Weekend Australia magazine published on Friday, the billionaire businessman opened up about his engagement with Carey, claiming that he was at a "low point" in his life when the two were together.
“I was at a low point in my personal life,” Packer shared. “She was kind, exciting and fun. Mariah is a woman of substance. But it was a mistake for her and a mistake for me.”
Packer and Carey started dating in 2015 and split in October 2016, just nine months after announcing their engagement. The pair's breakup wasn't pretty -- in a statement to Et at the time, Carey's rep said the two hadn't seen each other since having a fight in Greece.

Mariah Carey and James Packer have called it quits after about two years together.
“They are not together right now. They split a couple of weeks ago,” a source close to Packer confirmed to People. “It’s possible they will get back together. They are still talking, but James needed a break.”
Packer, a billionaire Australian businessman, proposed to Carey, gracing her with a 35-carat diamond engagement ring in January — just months after going public with their relationship last September.
