Janet Jackson reportedly splits from Qatari husband
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 10 - 04 - 2017

Singer Janet Jackson has split from her multi-millionaire husband just months after giving birth to her first child at the age of 50, sources close to the singer told The Mail on Sunday.
The pop-star sister of the late Michael Jackson wed Qatari businessman Wissam Al-Mana in 2012 and their son, Eissa, was born on Jan. 3 this year. Her recent retreat from the limelight - and the postponement of her Unbreakable world tour last year involving 36 grueling stadium shows - had been put down to contentment with her marriage.
But last night, a close friend of Jackson told The Mail on Sunday: "Sadly, Janet and Wissam have decided that it wasn't working and to go their separate ways. They're both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they're apart. It's amicable and Eissa will stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London."
Last week, a leading entertainment website claimed Al-Mana had helped three-times-married Jackson settle down as she traded fame for a role as a devoted mother and wife.
But that appeared to have been a somewhat premature prediction. A divorce settlement could be complex and costly as 42-year-old Al-Mana, CEO of the multinational Al-Mana business conglomerate, is estimated to have a fortune of around £800 million - at least four times Jackson's net worth.
When the couple married, there was much speculation, never confirmed, that Jackson had converted to Islam, fueled by her appearance in a head scarf.
There were rumors of a split within days of her son's birth, when she was seen in public without a wedding ring but these were discounted at the time. The singer was briefly married to singer James DeBarge in 1984 but the pair split the following year and the marriage was later annulled.
Her second husband was Mexican back-up dancer Rene Elizondo. The couple wed in 1991 but divorced in 2000, with Jackson paying him a reported $10 million.
In an interview after the end of her second marriage, the singer spoke about her conviction she might be "unlucky" in love.
"I thought I was jinxed," she said. "Maybe marriage isn't for me? Maybe it's my fault it never works. I was always faithful. When it was over, I put up shields to protect myself from being hurt." - Agencies
