The 45-year-old singer tenderly hugged her four-year-old daughter as the little girl planted a big kiss on her mum's cheek.

Presumably taken on her new beau James Packer's luxury yacht, the sexy mama is seen kneeling down in a red halter top bikini beside her daughter, who is wearing a cute pink polka-dot one piece.

Moored off the coast in Cannes, both mother and daughter didn't let a dip in the ocean stop them from getting glammed up.

Monroe is seen wearing a princess crown chain around her neck.

While Mariah sported large drop diamond earrings along with a full face of make up and over-sized black sunglasses on top of her head. 

The tanned wide-eyed duo both looked at the camera and appeared to be enjoying the family time.

Mariah has been with Monroe and her twin brother Moroccan in the Côte D'Azure on her new boyfriend's boat. 

Earlier in the day, the superstar posted a solo shot, showing off her nautical themed Nina Simone kaftan, telling fans 'I'm feelin [sic] good'.

However, 47-year-old James has not appeared in Mariah's holiday happy snaps for the past couple of days now, last seen in a group shot taken on Tuesday night.

This could be following a backlash from some of the singer's most ardent fans, who belittled the Australian businessman in online comments.

'Your too beautiful and elegant to be with James packer!!!! Please don't! [sic],' one of her 2.1million-plus followers commented below a photo of the pair.

'Is that mariah Carey boyfriend in black wow there is hope for me then [sic]' one user commented, with another exasperatedly adding 'Oh Mariah, why, why, why???'

However, it doesn't seem to have affected the loved up couple's trip, with the pair seen kissing and enjoying date nights out together after family-filled days.

The couple's romance first came to light a week ago, when they were spotted strolling the Italian island of Capri hand-in-hand.

They have since been spending time together cruising the Mediterranean coastline on billionaire's boat. 

And despite their budding romance, it seems it's not too early for the divorcees to be talking marriage, according to TMZ.

Seal of approval? The new couple, who's relationship only came to light a week ago but are reportedly already talking about marriage, met with the Australian billionaire's first wife Jodhi Meares (left) earlier this week

A source told the gossip website: 'He's [Packer] already told her he wants to marry her, sooner rather than later.'

However, Australia's fourth richest man will have to wait for the diva's divorce from her second husband and father of the twins, Nick Cannon, to go through.

Mariah and Nick married in April 2008 before announcing their split in August 2014.

Meanwhile the billionaire businessman split from his second wife, Erica Baxter in September 2013 and has three young children with the model.
