Sharp Shooting: Packer’s latest heartbreak, silence over Karl Stefanovic’s no-show

James Packer has called off his rebooted relationship with American model Renee Blythewood.

Sources for the billionaire confirmed the couple went their separate ways in February, weeks after being photographed together at a dinner in January at US President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach estate Mar-a-Lago.

Blythewood, it’s believed, may have tipped off the media concerning the private dinner by posting a video showing Packer seated next to a gesticulating Trump to her Instagram account.

She also posted an image of Tesla boss Elon Musk seated at the same table with Packer’s friend and Ratpac business partner Brett Ratner.

Both were later deleted.

According to sources, Packer, who may already be moving on, was exceedingly generous to the Nashville model during their 12-month on-again off-again association.

The former Crown Resorts boss and Blythewood first stepped out together in public in May 2024 when they attended the French Film Festival in Cannes together.

That same week she posted images showing her posing on his mega-yacht, IJE, moored nearby off the south of France.

The single mother-of-one was rumoured to have been introduced to Packer by a member of his circle in late 2023.
