Janet Jackson confirms split from husband months after she gave birth

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

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

 

 

 

 

 

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.

I know but let's be fair Janet doesn't seem to be the type to just cut and run. She seems to hang on for dear life so things must have been really difficult between them - especially considering they just had a baby.

Firstly, i hope janet is ok and i hope that she isn't hurting emotionally and just focusing on her wonderful new baby. But, i have to say, Im not entirely surprised. Something just felt...a bit off with him.

The fact she cancelled her shows in Europe where she has lots of fans yet still performed for a wealthy crowd in dubai which.. Let's be real. .probably isn't Janet's fanbase.. Stinks of him.. 

It will be very interesting to see if the arabic additions to tweets etc are dropped after this.  

I wish her the best, but something tells me this separation may indeed lift some behavioural expectations placed on her by that man.
