Usually it's women who pack on the pounds as they drown their sorrows from a breakup with the good old Ben & Jerry's. But it looks like billionaire James Packer has been doing the same following his public split from Mariah Carey.

Wearing a loose blue shirt, James, who was svelte during his time with Mariah, was seen vacationing aboard his super yacht the Arctic P in Tahiti with a noticeably fuller figure.

As OK! previously reported, James has long struggled with his weight, and got lap band surgery in 2011. He admitted at the time that his weight has been up and down in previous years, and staying slim was a constant battle.

Meanwhile, Mariah has moved on from James to a much fitter boyfriend, her backup dancer Bryan Tanaka. The 34-year-old has been very vocal about his love for Mariah, admitting to having a crush on her for years.

James has remained under the radar, keeping a low profile and not commenting on his breakup from Mariah, who reportedly wanted $50 million from him after their split since she had to uproot their kids from New York to Los Angeles.
