Janet Jackson ‘splits’ from millionaire third husband Wissam Al Mana just THREE MONTHS after giving birth to first child aged 50
JANET Jackson has split from her husband Wissam Al Mana just THREE MONTHS after the couple welcomed their first child, it has been claimed.
The Rhythm Nation singer gave birth to son Eissa on January 3 aged 50, after the star cancelled her 2016 world tour to focus on becoming a mother.
A source told the publication: "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."
The couple married in 2012 and was the singer's third trip down the aisle after previously being married to fellow musician James DeBarge from 1984 until 1985 and dancer Rene Elizondo Jr. from 1991 until 2000.
If the reports are true, a potential divorce could prove quite costly as Wissam, 42, is estimated to have a fortune of around £800 million from his role as CEO of multinational Al Mana business conglomerate.
This is at least four times Janet's worth.
Confirming the arrival of the couple's son in January, a representative said: “Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world.
"Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably.”
In October she confirmed she’s expecting her first child with her British-born husband Wissam.
Posing proudly for her first photoshoot with her baby bump, 50-year-old Janet looked glowing.
In an interview with People magazine, Janet said: “We thank God for our blessing.”
Speculation Janet was expecting a baby started in April when she cancelled her tour for personal reasons.
She said: “I thought it was important that you be the first to know, my husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour.”
The Sun Online has contacted a representative for Janet Jackson regarding the split rumours.
