Brett Ratner and his RatPac Entertainment business partner, billionaire James Packer, are shepherding a few awards-season hopefuls (The Revenant, Black Mass and Truth) while also celebrating a different kind of accomplishment — one of the romantic kind.
Ratner confirms to THR that he played matchmaker to Packer and Mariah Carey, who have been dating since late summer.
“Mariah is one of my best friends. We are Aries brother and sister because our birthdays are a day apart. It’s hard for me to have best friends and not want to introduce them,” says Ratner. He adds that the pair are getting serious, confirming a TMZ report that they’ve decided to move in together.
“They’re going to be together for a while,” Ratner says.
