The "Rhythm Nation" singer and sister to the famous Jackson 5 has opted to divorce her husband Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana three months after she gave birth to their son Eissa. The ex-couple married in 2012 but decided that their marriage is no longer for both of them.
Their separation was amicable and the 50-year-old singer will live in London with her son as revealed by a British publication. They will remain good parents to their only child, the source added according to Entertainment Tonight.
After five years of marriage, the couple decided to separate for various reasons. Daily Mail reported that Al Mana's reclusiveness drove Janet away. He was not concerned about her mother's struggles and seldom sees her family. A report said that the Jackson matriarch, who is now 86, has some legal struggles but her son-in-law did not offer any help.
He pulled her away from her old self by having to wear clothes that are conservative. Fans have witnessed that she is eventually changing from the old Janet to the one molded by the desire of her husband. Their varying culture was seen as one reason for the split especially concerning the care of the baby. He was reportedly not allowing his son to be seen in public.
According to the above source, many suspected that the singer has converted to Islam although there was no direct confirmation from the singer. Sources said that the Qatari businessman is pulling his wife away from the limelight. Both are opposites as the mother of one loves the limelight but Al Mana is a very private person.
Jackson's marriage has changed her from the woman who loves to wear figure-hugging clothes into someone who opts for loose, long-sleeved and conservative clothes. Her fans claim that they lost their idol. She was totally different in her concerts. She has stopped raunchy dancing during concerts and even changed the lyrics of her songs which her fans love.
The ex-couple has reportedly not divorced but separated. Their marriage was doomed from the start because of their opposite personalities. Although Janet Jackson has adjusted to cleave to her husband but in the long run, it did not work for them. Their separation was a relief for both of them.
