Mariah Carey, Brett Ratner Relationship Rumors: Pair Seen Vacationing Together in St. Barts

Rumors are percolating that longtime pals Mariah Carey and Brett Ratner are now a romantic item after the two were spotted vacationing together in France.

According to TMZ.com, the two were captured frolicking on a yacht together in St. Barts, just days after being seen dining with singer and pal Courtney Love.

In France, the website adds, Nick Cannon's soon-to-be-ex-wife and the maker of such hit films as "Rush Hour," "Family Man, "Red Dragon" and "X-Men" were seen walking arm-in-arm all across town as they crisscrossed the area shopping. The two have been acquaintances for years and have collaborated on several business related projects together.

While both have recently denied having any romantic involvement, Carey recently posted a selfie of the two hanging out together on Instagram.

"Hanging out in the girls room with @brettrat," she said.

Cannon, 34, filed for divorce from Carey last January and is now rumored to be dating Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White. The former couple have 3-year-old twins together. Since splitting from the "Hero" singer, Cannon has also been romantically linked to both Amber Rose and Eddie Murphy's ex-wife Nicole Murphy.

Cannon and Rose took added steps to deny any such involvement, insisting they are only friends as Cannon serves as her manager.

Still, Carey and Cannon's split has been a bitter one, with her reportedly recently serving him with legal papers that prevent him from publicly talking about their time together of their breakup without running the risk of facing severe financial penalties.

Forty-five-year-old Carey has previously starred in such flicks as "Glitter," "Precious" and "The Butler."
