| Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey and James Packer |
Mariah Carey settled her divorce with ex-husband Nick Cannon by calling him directly and begging him to let her marry Australian billionaire James Packer — only to split with her fiancé days later, sources tell Page Six. Carey and Cannon separated in August 2014, but their divorce dragged on because of legal wrangling
over custody of their twins. They finally settled their divorce in
September, when Carey called Cannon personally and said, “I want you to
sign the divorce papers. I really want to get married to James Packer.”
One source added, “Nick and Mariah’s divorce was dragging on and on,
mainly because of the back and forth between their lawyers. Mariah’s
team brought in [famed LA divorce attorney] Laura Wasser, who helped
simplify things, but then Mariah called Nick and said, ‘I really want to
get married. Will you sign these papers?’ Nick was cool and said, ‘I’m
not going to stand in your way. I’ll sign the papers.’ He signed in
September, because Mariah and James wanted to get married in early
2017.” But things suddenly soured between Packer and Carey, and they
split shortly after her divorce with Cannon was finalized.
As Page Six previously reported,
sources close to Carey claim that Packer changed into a different
person overnight. They blame the influence of his business manager Tommy
Davis, a former spokesperson for the Church of Scientology.
Lawyers for Carey and Packer had been negotiating a prenup. According to an email obtained by TMZ,
Packer demanded his lawyers rush the document after he was told it
would not be ready in time for the wedding. “The people who work for me
. . . do as I say or f - - k off. I want to get married on March 1,”
Packer wrote. But the prenup was never signed, and Carey’s camp believes
his people poisoned their relationship.
Now Carey is asking Packer for a multimillion-dollar settlement
and is spending time with her backup dancer Bryan Tanaka. The source
added, “After all she’s been through, she’s like, ‘F - - k you. I’ll do
what I want.’ She’s enjoying the attention from Bryan.”
