Mariah Carey & James Packer flew to Israel for ‘spiritual advice’ on engagement

Author: | Filed under: Celebrities

You know what? I’m actually happy for Mariah Carey. It’s a weird feeling. She’s going through a rough divorce and she’s found love again, with an age-appropriate billionaire (she’s 45, he’s 47). He’s a sketchball, she loves to drink. He’s a starf—ker and she loves to spend money. This pairing really works. I hope they both get what they want out each other. Anyway, these are photos of Mariah and James last Friday in Portofino, Italy. Mariah and James have been on his yacht – with their children from other relationships – for more than a week now. They’ve toured Mediterranean coastal cities like Capri and Cote d’Azur and Portofino. They also ended up in Israel over the weekend… which is where this happened:

Mariah Carey and her billionaire boyfriend are taking a giant leap — jetting to Israel for what they call a “pre-engagement spiritual meeting” with a religious muckety-muck.

Sources connected with the newly-minted couple tell TMZ, Mariah and James Packer are jumping on his jet today, where they will meet a “spiritual leader” who James knows well. We’re told James believes the meeting is a must before he pops the question.

Our sources say once the meeting takes place, the ball will roll quickly and “they will be married soon.”

Packer doesn’t want the name of the spiritual leader or the location disclosed for security reasons.

There are spiritual leaders of three major faiths in Israel (Islam, Christianity and Judaism), so God knows who they met or what advice was given. Last week, TMZ claimed that Mariah and James were definitely talking about marriage, although Mariah’s people were denying that report pretty soon after. I don’t know what to tell you… I would love it if they got engaged. They would be so messy. Oh, and he’s already spending money on her – in these photos from Portofino, he took her shopping at Pucci and some other boutiques. Perhaps they flew to Israel so that Mariah could pick out the biggest diamond she could find?
