They got engaged last year after a whirlwind romance.

And Mariah Carey is reportedly set to walk down the aisle with her billionaire fiancé James Packer in an intimate wedding this June, tying the knot on the island of Barbuda in the Caribbean.

The 45-year-old singer and the Australian business mogul are expected to fly in around 50 of their closest friends and family members to the exclusive location by private jet, according to TMZ.

The island is where James is in the process of building a private $250 million resort with Robert De Niro.

Although the exact date of the wedding is not yet known, Mariah is thought to be getting hitched mid-June.

The pop diva's schedule is currently jam-packed with filming for her upcoming docuseries and her first European tour in a decade.

MailOnline has contacted Mariah's representatives for comment.

Since their romance came to light in June last year, Mariah and James have been inseparable, enjoying a Mediterranean trip where they sailed around the Balearic Islands on James’ lavish yacht.

The superstar's 'documentary series', Mariah's World, has all the hallmarks of a reality series - despite not wanting to call it that - and will follow her life behind the scenes of her international tour.

The show began filming while Mariah was finishing up her Las Vegas residency and will feature her entourage, backing dancers and singers.

However, her four-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan and James Packer will be largely off limits.

Mariah told the publication that her Australian billionaire fiance does not want to be filmed.

'He's a legit businessman,' she explained to the New York Times.

'It's not really his thing to be, like, traipsing all over Europe and hanging out with all my crew and dancers and singers.
