Wait… what? Mariah Carey spotted on date with James Packer

No, that's not a typo. And no, we're not joking... We think.

Sometimes with celebrity couples, you can see them coming from a mile away.

Whether it’s two co-stars getting a little too cozy on set, or a couple of it-celebs who were bound to cross paths some day, you can usually pick ‘em pretty well.

Unless the celebrity couple is Mariah Carey and James Packer.

Firstly, we weren’t even sure that Mariah Carey and James Packer existed on the same planet, let alone the same dating circles, so please forgive us for taking a few minutes (read: many minutes) to come to terms with this new celeb couple.

The diva duo were spotted holding hands and flirting in the Italian town of Capri over the weekend, and appear to be firmly in the grasp of new love. Wearing an orange maxi dress, the Grammy award-winning singer cozied up to the billionaire gambling tycoon whilst they wandered the streets of Capri.

While we figure out what to call this new couple (Marames? Jamiah? Packrey?), take a look at our favourite celebrity misfit couples.
