Ellen asked if she was OK, with the 46-year-old replying, “I think I am doing well.”

“Everything happens for a reason. Things are the way they are.”

Mimi was on the show to promote her upcoming show, Mariah’s World.

The eight part doco-series was supposed to feature James, as Mariah navigates planning her now-cancelled wedding to the casino mogul, but the talk show host mentioned he didn’t want to be on the show.

“He didn’t want to be in the docu-series at all. And yet he’s in it. You see him,” Ellen said.

“Allegedly,” Mariah remarked with an eye roll, before saying, “It is difficult to talk about at the moment so I am going to compliment you on these decorations.”

The pair in happier times…

Mimi first met the 49-year-old in 2014, with the pair becoming an official couple a year later in June 2015.

Taking things to the next level, the duo got engaged after James popped the question in her hometown of New York City in January this year.

Sadly, they split just nine months later in October following a fight during a trip to Mykonos in Greece.

No doubt more will be revealed during Mimi’s exciting new show!
