Shady lady! Beaming Mariah Carey dons black sunglasses after enjoying romantic dinner date with billionaire beau James Packer in New York

They've been near-inseparable since sparking romance in July this year, and it seems that Mariah Carey and her beau James Packer's blossoming relationship is stronger than ever.

The 45-year-old songstress and her 48-year-old billionaire boyfriend were spotted in New York on Thursday evening after a romantic date spent at swanky Japanese restaurant, Nobu. 

Mariah appeared relaxed as she smiled for the cameras, donning a printed black and white jumpsuit with flared pants paired with a silk scarf that draped across her shoulders.

She accessorised her look with a pair of open-toe platform heels, a black patent bag, a pair of trendy shades and, on her ring finger, a diamond butterfly ring. 

James looked equally as sharp, wearing a slick black suit and tie combo as he ushered his ladylove into their chauffeured car.

The enamored duo made their first red carpet appearance as a couple earlier this week at the premier of the new Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro comedy, The Intern.
