What is going on? Various outlets are reporting this I hope this is not true!!!! Has this been reported on CNN? I hope Janet comes out with a statement if this is false. I am really tired of the media making lies about the Jacksons.

if this is true,it's probably because this guy was too controlling.He even had her dressing like a Muslim woman out in public! For a lady who once sang about having "control",that is unacceptable.

^ Agree, People use to always criticize me when I would say Janet doesn't look happy with Wissam. If this story is in fact true, then my feelings about this marriage were right. I don't think Janet was happy in this relationship AGAIN I hope this is not true but these are my observations. I am truly very sad for Janet if this is in fact true. I never really cared for Wissam but I was hoping that Janet finally found love and a real quiet family life away from the spot light because I thought that was what she wanted.

Well, she was happy enough to become pregnant at age 50.

But how do you get seperated almost 3 months after having a new baby? If things were rocky before the pregnancy why even try to have a child? Either something in the milk aint clean or these stories are lies. There are more and more news outlets reporting this story.

This doesn't necessarily make the story true though but Janet needs to come out with a statement if it is not.

Agreed. She needs to nip this in the bud if it isn't true.

if the is true the baby may have been the issue. there may be fundamental differences on how their child should be raised. janet may have converted to islam but its always been wissam's culture, and even though he has been described as being very westernized he may be strict when it comes to how his son will be raised. janet on the other hand may not agree with some things, add her raging hormones to the mix and i can see a problem.

I agree with everything that you are saying but these issues are usually discussed before a child is conceived. If they knew they would have strong cultural differences in how they wanted to raise their child why try to conceive and have one? I don't think that is the only issue. Its possible they were having problems prior to Janet's pregnancy and maybe they thought having a child would save the marriage.

Uh, y'all got a lotta crackpot theories there.

I saw the divorce thing earlier on a gossip site, and dismissed it. Even if TMZ is reporting it, I'm going to reserve judgment on this until I hear from Janet.

Well no one is calling anything a fact. I personally think it is a rumor but now that more and more outlets are reporting this I am not so sure. Janet needs to make a statement from her lips if it is not true.

Well. I don't know and I don't think she's that type of person. Also not to become pregnant when the writing is on the wall. She said something to that effect after she split with Rene. So I don't really think the story is true.

No, I know. I wasn't coming at you or anything. I forget what site I saw this on earlier... some British gossip rag. Maybe The Mirror. I forget. But they are living in London, and those tabloids are ferocious with people. I do hope Janet says something, if it's over, so fans can just be there and support her regardless.

She knew what she was getting into. She just wanted a baby. And having a baby to 'save' a trouble marriage never works.

Well, this is sad if it's true. I guess money and fame can't save you from reality sometimes.

Well I wish them all the the best if the news reports are true.....lets hope Janet's divorce doesn't ends up nasty like Mel B's or Lisa Marie's at the moment

Janet IMO is suffering from depression (whether this story is true or not). IMO she rushed into marriage with Wissam soon after breaking up with Jermaine Durpri which was a 8 year relationship. She began dating Wissam the same year she broke up with Jermaine. I think she is not happy with a lot of things (her career, the way the industry/media treated and treats her; indifference and non chalant attitude about her achievements and career; family issues, etc) Her actions over the years show that she is really going through it and I personally don't think her marriage to Wissam is helping matters because she never seems happy with him (maybe she is but I get a sense she is not). Being reclusive and private doesn't necessarily mean you are happy and just living a "quiet life".

Your right UK Tabloids are notorious for being brutal with the Jacksons. I really hope Janet shuts this story down or confirms so we can offer support. This is so sad if true.

Unless it has something to do with MJ......I don't think the tabloids in the UK will go after her.....unless her ex wants custody etc like Mel B or Presley's exes....and uses them for PR.

Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana have called it quits.

The legendary singer and youngest sibling of late pop superstar Michael Jackson, split from her husband, Page Six reports. The outlet claims that while one source said it was an amicable split another source says that Jackson felt that Al Mana had gotten too controlling during her pregnancy.

Jackson, who was previously married to James DeBarge and René Elizondo, Jr., quietly wed the Qatari businessman in 2012. They welcomed son Eissa, now 3 months, this past January.

“Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children’s charities,” the former couple told ETOnline in 2013.

Al Mana and Jackson, 50, have proven to be notoriously private, opening up about their family life only every so often. In October, the “Dammn Baby” songstress shared a baby-bump photo exclusively with PEOPLE by way of confirming her first child on the way.

“We thank God for our blessing,” the star told PEOPLE exclusively.

In February, a source told PEOPLE that Jackson and her new baby boy are doing “really good,” and that “she absolutely loves” motherhood.

The singer was spotted out and about during a shopping trip in London a little over three weeks after giving birth to Eissa, of which an onlooker told PEOPLE, “Janet looked great. She was in the shop for around half an hour and just went about her business. She was really relaxed and healthy.

“She didn’t look tired at all,” the onlooker continued. “She just looked around at some little socks and various other knickknacks and then went on her way.”

The Mail on Sunday was the first to report the breakup news.

Too bad, if true. But, unfortunately a lot of things can change after a baby comes into the picture. Actually, everthing changes after a baby comes into the picture from my experience...

Hopefully its not true. If so its going 2 be problems regarding the baby if she comes back home with her/his son. Ask Halle Berry

I think someone who has all these secret marriages is entering into something they know will end soon

Billionaire child support...........hummmmm.......

[Edited 4/9/17 9:46am]

First, I don't know what the hell this story has to do with Michael Jackson. Dude's dead, been dead, gonna stay dead. Makes no sense.

Second, no it's not a "publicity stunt". It's like people say that because they have no other thought in their head. Publicity for what? Ol' girl is fiercely private, and she has a three-month-old baby. She's also rich as fuck. What the hell does she need a tabloid sniffing around her business on purpose for??

Third, "she looked unhappy". Y'all realize a photo is a millisecond of a whole day, right? There are 86,400 seconds in a day. A photo is an incredibly small fraction of that, and suddenly "She's unhappy"? With three dozen photographers in your face, flashing lights from their cameras, you aren't smiling and posing. You're just trying to walk, find the pavement, and not fall down in order to get to your destination (either get inside wherever you're headed or get to the car). Janet has a solemn resting bitch face, as do a lot of folks. Doesn't mean they're unhappy.

Fourth, a marriage isn't "secret". It just means it's not your business who someone marries. Sure, she shared it, but because she's not live-streaming her home 24/7 doesn't mean she's in a secret marriage. It means it's her damn business. I thought this was simple to understand. She was smart to stay married to Rene and not publicize it. Even though it wasn't the age of the internet, there still would have been tremendous tabloid attention around it, and that kills almost every marriage in Hollywood. So it's not a "secret marriage" - that's a tabloid term - it's just someone trying to protect their lives.

Lastly, we have no evidence she suffers from depression, moved too fast from one relationship to another (dates schmates, you don't know a person's heart, conversations, or otherwise). We also have no evidence she's not happy with her life or career. She has clout and money and a brand name - she could do just about anything she wanted. But at 50 years old (I'm a year away from that number), sometimes you just wanna sit down for a while, have a cup of tea. Janet certainly has other things going on in her life, but she could live anywhere, have anyone around she wants, and handle anything she does or doesn't want to in order to achieve her own happiness.

The conjecture is worse that the "Prince knew he was going to die so he gave up the ghost in an elevator after recording 'that's it' at the end of 'Big City', then he put his clothes on backwards to say hi to fans before leaving notes about the museum" conspiracy bullshit. Let's just breathe, and wait to hear it from her lips.

Everything in this post you just made up, you don't know the woman, you don't know anything about it.

Just let the woman be.

No one mentioned Michael at all in this thread. Also, I never said that Janet is clinically depressed. I said IMO I think she is unhappy and experiencing depression I never said it was a FACT but given the way she has treated her career and her career decisions, her actions show some thing might be going on behind the scenes IMO. She also doesnt look happy to me and I am entitled to have that opinion. That doesn't mean I am calling anything a fact.

She broke up with Jermaine in 2009 and beganpublicly dating Wissam the same year. She actually meant Wissam in 2006 and they exchanged info while she was dating JD (I actually just recently found this out from Janet stans)

There is nothing wrong with discussing and giving opinions on what might be happening. That doesn't mean anyone is calling anything a fact or jumping to conclusions. This is a discussion board and just as you are expressing your opinions, others are entitled too as well.
