Mariah Carey Dishes on Engagement and Split During Ellen Visit

Carey's new E! series premieres Dec. 4

Mariah Carey chats with Ellen Wednesday about her new E! documentary series, “Mariah’s World,” her engagement and recent split with James Packer.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Carey said about the split. “Things are the way they are.”

When asked about how she was doing these days since the breakup, Carey said “I think I’m doing well.”

But, she acknowledged it was still difficult for her to talk about the fresh split. The couple met last year and was engaged in January. Their engagement was called off at the end of October.

“Mariah’s World,” aims to take viewers into the singer’s personal life. But the show will also feature ex-fiance Packer and even documents Carey trying on wedding dresses.

The new E! series premieres Dec. 4.
