They've made no secret of the fact they're dating by their obvious displays of affection.

But James Packer's relationship with Mariah Carey seems to be moving faster than people initially thought as the billionaire is reportedly planning to introduce his lady love to his mother, Roslyn.

A source close to James told the Daily Telegraph on Sunday: 'Mariah absolutely loves Australia, has many fans there, and would love to visit some time in the near future with James.'

It's getting serious! James Packer reportedly wants to take his new girlfriend Mariah Carey to his native country Australia

And the 47-year-old businessman's determination to bring the pop sensation to his native home country may have something to do with why he recently took his Bondi home off the market.

The casino billionaire, who spends copious amounts of time Stateside, told property agents he wants to hold onto the Sydney home, which overlooks Bondi beach, according to The Australian.

Agents for Ballard and Sotheby's are said to have fielded generous offers in the region of $20million for the four-storey, five-bedroom home, but James has rejected them all, the newspaper reports.
