They've made it past the dreaded three-month relationship mark and now some believe that in conservative America, the push is on for billionaire James Packer to make his relationship status with Mariah Carey more official. Though he's more accustomed to low-maintenance women, Packer seems to have discovered he has the temperament and patience for the higher-maintenance diva.
At New York's Polo Bar on Thursday night, Packer arrived for dinner without his famous girlfriend, who turned up later looking every inch the Las Vegas star in a sparkling black lurex knit dress paired with a leather bolero, black platforms with her toes polished grey with white flecks to mirror the gown.
All eyes were on Carey's engagement ring finger, on which the singer was wearing a huge bauble which turned out to be a large butterfly and not, a disappointed observer said, an engagement ring.
Ralph Lauren's Polo Bar, which opened in January, is one of New York's hottest celebrity-spotting venues and the waiting list for a table runs into months. On any given night one can expect to rub shoulders with Woody Allen, Naomi Campbell, Matthew Broderick and Rihanna.
There's a chance Packer, who is still largely confined to small portions after his gastric bypass surgery, may have finished his meal by the time Carey was seated, yet it seems the still swooning Packer is more than happy to wait and watch her eat.
