The diva recently got engaged to billionaire James Packer after a whirlwind romance and as this will be the third marriage for both of them, Mariah has insisted they want to keep the ceremony and celebrations simple.

She told E! News: "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."

Mariah was previously married to music executive Tommy Mottola and 'America's Got Talent' host Nick Cannon, the father of her four-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe.

And James has been wed twice before, to Jodhi Meares and Erica Baxter, the mother of his three children.

Speaking about James' proposal, which came after only a few months of dating, Mariah said: "It was very romantic. He's an exceptional person and really... it gets more romantic by the day, so it's very sweet."

She also revealed the wedding will be "somewhat soon" and joked that her 35-carat engagement ring is "so heavy I can't lift my arm up".
