E! News exclusively revealed Packard and Carey's engagement. The Australian billionaire reportedly proposed to the singer Thursday last week at her hometown in New York City. Packard presented Canon's ex-wife with a 35-carat engagement ring.
The couple reportedly got engaged following a 10-month whirlwind romance. However, a source said that Packard and Carey were already "head over heels in love with one another" since they started dating in June last year, so the engagement didn't come as a surprise.
"It's crazy how perfect they are together, they both know it and couldn't be happier," the source told E! News.
Carey and Packard reportedly first met in 2014 at the premiere of "Hercules" and had been friends since. However, the source said that as soon as their friendship turned romantic, they didn't want to be apart from each other.
"They have a connection that is unparalleled; it's been a very beautiful experience for them both. If you spend even five minutes with them, you can't help but believe in true love," the source told E! News.
According to Mirror UK, Carey and Packard made their relationship public when they attended the premiere of "The Intern" in September together. It was their first red carpet appearance as a couple.
