Australian billionaire James Packer has reportedly been courting Mariah Carey for months. <br /> <br /> The 45-year-old beauty, who split from Nick Cannon last summer after six years of marriage, has been treated to some extravagant gifts by the globe-trotting businessman, who's been trying for months to win her heart. <br /> <br /> Packer, 47, spent thousands on flowers for her suite at the Peninsula Hotel in Paris a few weeks ago, where she was shooting an editorial for Harper's Bazaar magazine, while he also travelled to Las Vegas to support Mariah before the opening night of her Mariah #1 to Infinity residency, the New York Post newspaper reports. <br /> <br /> The duo have also been spotted together on his yacht during the Cannes Lions creative festival. <br /> <br /> News of their relationship emerged shortly after Mariah's estranged husband Nick Cannon - with whom she has four-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan - refused to rule out the possibility of them reuniting one day. <br /> <br /> He said: "It's one of those things, I'm a hopeless romantic too. Through this learning process, you never say never. <br /> <br /> "To me one thing I know, that will always be the love of my life, always be my family and that's never going to change."
