This will be the third marriage for Carey and Packer. Carey was previously married to music executive Tommy Mottola and rapper and comedian Nick Cannon, with whom she has twins Monroe and Moroccan, 4.
If you’re hoping for a grand wedding affair, don’t hold your breath. Carey’s wedding plans have changed this time around. “We are not doing a big wedding because he did two big weddings, and it’s kind of like, ‘I’ve done a big wedding [too]’… We would rather make it beautiful but humble.”
The couple has not revealed a wedding date yet, but Carey does have a dress in mind.
“I am very excited about the dress, but I don’t want to talk about it yet, as I have to have my first fitting,” she said.
We can’t wait for Carey’s next aisle style. Cheers to the happy couple!
