Three months after welcoming her first child, Janet Jackson has reportedly split from her husband, Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana.


Sadly, Janet and Wissam have decided that it wasn’t working and to go their separate ways,’ a source close to Janet has claimed.
The pair married in 2012 and confirmed their nuptials after rumours surfaced of extravagant wedding plans; the couple shot them down though claiming they are ‘simply not true’ in a surprise statement.
‘Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children’s charities.’

However after nearly five years, 50-year-old Janet’s pal suggested that the split was ‘amicable’ and that the baby boy will ‘stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London’.
‘They’re both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they’re apart,’ the insider told the Mail On Sunday.

The pair welcomed their son, Eissa Al Mana, on January 3 with her reps confirming the happy news: ‘Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world.’

Janet Jackson and her husband, Wissam Al Mana, are splitting, ABC News confirmed.

A rep noted that the two are not divorcing, but separating.


Janet Jackson, Wissam Al Mana Reveal Secret Marriage

The news comes just months after Jackson, 50, gave birth to the couple's first child -- a son named Eissa Al Mana.

Back in January, a rep confirmed to ABC News in a statement that "Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery."

Jackson and Al Mana wed in 2012 in a secret ceremony that was revealed a year later by Jackson herself.

This is the third marriage for Jackson, whose union with fellow singer James DeBarge was annulled in 1985. In 1991, she married dancer, songwriter and director Rene Elizondo Jr., but they kept their relationship a secret until their divorce in 2000.

'Janet Jackson's people will only says she's separated from her husband, Wissam Al Mana, but based on a big move Tuesday it looks much more like divorce.
Movers showed up at their London home and carted away boxes and suitcases.
As we reported, the couple separated in January, just a week or so after their baby was born.
Our sources say the split appears permanent, despite the statement only confirming a separation. The moving trucks seem to accentuate this is more than temporary.'

The youngest Jackson daughter had all her stuff moved out of the swanky Mayfair abode which she shared with the 42-year-old and their new daughter, born on January 3.

It’s not known why the couple have decided to part ways, but yesterday a source told People: “For years, Janet tried to adapt to [Wissam’s] culture.

“Since it’s not a culture she grew up with, it’s been challenging for her. She often felt she disappointed Wissam.

“The cultural differences between her and Wissam became even more obvious [after Eissa arrived]. They come from very different worlds.”
