Billionaire James Packer and his partner Erica have reportedly announced that they’re getting a divorce.
The couple have been married since 2007 and have three children – Indigo, 5, Jackson, 3, and Emmanuelle, 11 months.
The news reportedly came via a statement to News Limited.
The statement read:
“It is with great sadness that Erica and James Packer announce their separation.
“We remain deeply close friends and incredibly proud parents and our children are our priority going forward.”
James, 45, and Erica, 36, were married on the French Riviera in June 2007 after dating for four years.
James was previously married to Jodhi Meares from 1999 – 2002.
Erica is a singer and former model. She’s reportedly left the couple’s $40 million Vaucluse home and is living in Los Angeles with the couple’s children.
James – who is the son of media mogul Kerry Packer – is worth an estimated $6 billion.
Here’s hoping he had a pre-nup.

I always said she was a gold digger. Why else is she now living in LA living it up with the rich and famous. Packer was a leg up - the kids are there to secure the money that will continue flowing in child support in the thousands. When are these rich men going to figure out that marrying a model is going to end up like this. Apart from the fact that it's just so cliche. Yes, let's hope he wasn't stupid enough not to have an airtight pre-nup!
Yes, I see what she did: spent ten years establishing her "credibility" and reeling in her poor hapless husband, meanwhile falling deliberately falling pregnant - three times - in order to secure her pipeline to his riches.... Hello? Really? Because she was "a model"? Would it have been different - and more acceptable to you - if she had been a motel cleaner from Woy Woy?
Confused, the father had a mistress for many years which is known because she was in his will, there may have been others and this is likely the answer to your question.
