However, his best pal and RatPac business partner Brett Ratner was on hand to help her celebrate.

Both Mariah and James have currently been busy working, with the Butterfly diva performing in her Las Vegas residency, and James in Sydney for a small business conference. 

However, over the weekend the 47-year-old caught up with his ex-Jodhi Meares.

While the pair decided to go their separate ways just three years after tying the knot in an extraordinarily lavish $10 million ceremony in 1999, they have remained the friendliest of exes.

James looked just like he did in the early days of his marriage as he beamed and wrapped his arm around Meares to attend a charity event in Sydney last Saturday evening.

Fresh from a holiday in the Mediterranean, the model-turned-fashion designer displayed a glowing tan through sheer cut-outs built into the bust, waist and hem of the sleek design.
