The 46-year-old American singer gave a shoutout on Instagram to her "real friends" following reports she and the 49-year-old Australian businessman have ended their engagement.

"#realfriends who don't read Woman's Day #wedontknowyou #We love you #Australianlambs @stellabulochnikov," she captioned a photo of herself with producer Stella Bulochnikov.

Carey shared the post from a night out with Bulochnikov and other friends at Catch restaurant in Los Angeles.

E! News reported the star had sushi and mingled with her pals at the Hollywood hotspot.

"She was with friends and dancing and singing and having a blast," a source told the website.

Woman's Day had reported Thursday that Carey and Packer split due to tensions over the singer's forthcoming reality show, "Mariah's World," and alleged extravagant spending.

Carey's rep later told "Entertainment Tonight" that the couple haven't seen each other since they had a fight in Greece in September.

"The fight was not because of any cheating allegations or excessive spending by Mariah," the spokesperson said. "They are trying to work it out. Right now, they're not sure if they will stay together."

Carey and Packer had gotten engaged in January after less than a year of dating. An insider told E! News over the weekend that the "You're Mine (Eternal)" singer was "blindsided" by the breakup.

"The split has been devastating for Mariah," the source said.

"She loved James and was planning to marry him ... Everything she has done over the past year is to prove how fully committed she is to their life together. She really wanted this to work. And then, completely out of the blue, it imploded."

Carey was previously married to Nick Cannon. She and the actor celebrated an early Halloween with their 5-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan, last week.
