Is there trouble in paradise for Mariah Carey and her soon-to-be husband James Packer? That's what her fans can't help but wonder as the singer is flat-out refusing to talk about her relationship with the billionaire Australian.

Yet, there are some sources that say Mariah is keeping mum for a totally different reason. And that's because she's supposedly vowed to not talk about her personal life in the public because she doesn't want her two children - Moroccan and Monroe - to get caught up in gossip about their mother's life. That, and she doesn't want to make the same mistakes she made with her ex-husband, Nick Cannon.

According to Xpose on Sunday, Mariah explains that she is keeping her love life under the radar because she's afraid that her words or actions might get misinterpreted by the media, which would ultimately hurt her family.

She said: ''I'm a pretty insecure person. But I have to get over that because it's the reality of my life."

She added, ''If I start talking about this relationship, people will interpret it in their own way, so I think it's safer for everyone involved to just not talk about the very personal aspects. I am a private person.''

But as far as her future wedding plans, Mariah is refusing to divulge in any details, too.

She said, "It's a secret. I'm not doing this for laughs. I enjoy it. When you grow up without a lot of things ... I try not to take things for granted. I am very traditional. I have babies, it's more appropriate. I don't know if most people can relate to that, but that's just how I feel.''
