Mariah sang at the official launch of the complex which also drew stars De Niro and Leonardo Di Caprio for its opening. In October the pair travelled to Macau for the launch of Packer's casino, Studio City. She joked to Steve Harvey: 'Oh, this old thing? This is a Van Cleef piece that my new beau got for me recently.' Mariah had already gushed over James after receiving a $500,000 heart-shaped diamond pendant from the businessman which she wore at a concert in Las Vegas. 'I don't think either one of us thought, "Here we are, making a debut,"' she said. Speaking a month later to Entertainment Tonight about the public outing, Mariah said it wasn't a conscious decision to confirm their romance at the event. The pair were among guests at the premiere of Robert De Niro's film, The Intern, with Packer putting on an uncomfortable display as he walked the red carpet with his superstar girlfriend.

In September the loved-up duo returned to Italy to enjoy more fun in the sun on board Arctic P. They returned to the holiday destination the following month.
