In an exclusive statement to Entertainment Tonight, the 46-year-old international star and her billionaire beau Wissam Al Mana confirmed their big news and set the record straight on a few rumors. The couple stated:
“The rumours regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. 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. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy. With love, Wissam and Janet.”
This is the third marriage for Jackson who was previously attached to James DeBarge and René Elizondo. Prior to her relationship with Al Mana, the “Rhythm Nation” singer dated producer Jermaine Dupri for nearly eight years.
Congratulations to the newlyweds!
