Mariah Carey Opens Up About Boyfriend James Packer: ‘He’s Just A Spectacular Guy’

Mariah Carey and James Packer may “Belong
Together”!

In a new interview with Access
Hollywood’s Liz Hernandez, the superstar opened up about finding love with the
Aussie billionaire.

“He’s a great person,” Mariah said of James, to
whom she was first linked over the summer.

While Mariah added that she normally doesn’t “like to
talk about him too much” because he’s “a private person,” she
continued to sing James’ praises.

“He’s just an incredible guy. He really is a good
person, and that’s hard to find,” she told Access.

The five-time Grammy winner doesn’t think she’s alone in her
opinion.

“I think anybody that’s a friend of his would say the
same thing, if not more, so I can’t say enough nice things about him,”
Mariah said. “He’s just a spectacular guy.”

The feeling is apparently mutual. Mariah arrived to the
interview with a stunning diamond necklace around her neck, and confirmed it
was a gift from her new beau.

“It was a surprise,” she said of the sparkler,
adding that it wasn’t the first time James has demonstrated a taste for dazzling jewelry.

“He’s given me one before, so this was like surprise
No. 2,” she chuckled.

Mariah and James made their red carpet debut as a couple in
September, hitting the Tribeca Film Institute’s gala for “The
Intern.” 

The 48-year-old businessman and philanthropist may not be
the only one sharing Mariah’s spotlight.

The busy mom to twins Moroccan and Monroe touched upon how
her kids are slowly becoming aware of her celebrity status.

“My son has started saying, ‘You’re Mariah
Carey,'” she said, using a star-struck baby voice to mimic her 4-year-old.

“It’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t handle it,'” she
added. “I don’t even know who taught him that. It definitely wasn’t
me!”
