After only recently splitting with her fiance James Packer, the pop diva has stepped out with her toyboy backup dancer wearing an engagement ring.

A few months back all Mimi wanted for Christmas was to get married… and it seems she can still get her dream gift.

The singer has thrown subtly out the window, donning the same engagement ring her ex gave her all the way back in February.

The 46-year-old was snapped wearing the gem during an appearance onLate Night With Seth Meyers in New York City.

Despite the fact James Packer has been checkmated, the queen of pop has still managed to find herself a man to link her and that 35-carat ring to, back up dancer Bryan Tanaka.

While the sparkler may be linked to one of the most brutal breakups of 2016, the ring itself is pretty special.

Worth over $10 million, it was designed by one of her dear friends, Wilfredo Rosado, and the mum-of-two has made it very clear that she has no plans on returning it back to James.

It’s also been widely reported that the mum-of-two is after an “inconvenience fee” worth $50 million.

We see the ring Mimi!

Mariah wasn’t performing, but her back up dancer was right by her side!

Packing up her ex, Mimi is ready to focus on her next chapter.

A source close to the singer told ET, “She’s ready to move on.”

“Mariah’s chemistry with Bryan was subtle, but undeniable,” one friend mused.

“It is the way they communicate. They seem so happy in each other’s presence. They are on the same page — their laughing and the glances between them.”

The timing is certainly impeccable, making for great TV on the starlet’s documentary, Mariah’s World.

Mariah was glowing during her NYC visit to Seth Meyers talk show.

Bryan, 31, first crossed paths with the singer ten years ago, when he was hired dance in her Adventures of Mimi tour.

“I’ve always had a thing for Mariah. I love her so much,” he admitted earlier this month.

And the feeling is mutual according to the singer’s manager Stella Bulochnikov.

“Well, when you’re Mariah Carey you’re one of the most coveted women in the world so I can’t blame Tanaka for having a crush on her,” Stella told E! News, before pointing back to the reality show.

“We’ll have to wait and see if he puts the moves on her.”

I’ll guess we’ll have to tune into the show to find out whether Mimi has a new fiance?

The ring isn’t going anywhere…

And by the look of things neither is Bryan!
