They met through mutual friends in Aspen following Packer's messy split from singer Mariah Carey, and he has said Lim helped him through this difficult period.
In a 2018 biography, Packer described her as "a good person [and] a really good partner".
"We are taking things slowly, one day at a time," he told Damon Kitney, author of The Price of Fortune: The Untold Story of Being James Packer.

In 2019, he told the Sydney Morning Herald, ''Kylie has been a wonderful influence on my life. I love her very much."
The pair reportedly reunited last year.
This is Packer's fifth engagement, though he's only married twice.
The businessman and investor was previously engaged to Kate Fischer (now Tziporah Malkah), Jodhi Meares, Erica Baxter and Carey.
His nine-month engagement to Carey in 2016 made plenty of headlines, with Packer himself describing their split as a "trainwreck" in a 2024 interview.
Packer was married to Tigerlily founder Meares from 1999 to 2002, and to former model and singer Baxter from 2007 to 2013.
He and Baxter share three children, Indigo, Jackson and Emmanuelle.
