The billionaire son of the late Kerry Packer has since called the relationship "a mistake," saying he was not in a good place when he started dating the Grammy Award winner.
He told the Weekend Australian last year that when he met Carey in 2015 he was in billions of dollars worth of debt after borrowing big to provide sister Gretel with some of the money left in their father's estate. He was also losing money on his Hollywood venture, RatPac, with friend Brett Ratner.
"I was at a low point in my personal life," Mr Packer said.
"Documenting the negotiations with my sister was taking longer than expected. Brett Ratner put Mariah and me together. She was kind, exciting and fun. Mariah is a woman of substance. She is very bright. But it was a mistake for her and a mistake for me."
In March, Mr Packer resigned from the board of several companies and checked into a US mental health facility to seek treatment for depression and other mental health issues.
He has started dating socialite Kylie Lim, while Carey is dating her back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka.
