Janet Jackson has been married and divorced multiple times during her legendary career.
There’s more than one way to end a marriage.
Not all of Janet’s husbands departed through the divorce process.
Here’s a look at her complex personal history — and where things stand today.
Janet Jackson was 18 when she eloped with James DeBarge
When Janet Jackson was 16, she began dating 19-year-old singer James DeBarge.
(That is a large age gap and may not be legal in some jurisdictions, but it’s probably fine in and of itself)
Two years later, on September 7, 1984, the two eloped.
Janet had confided only in sister LaToya Jackson about her plans.
In 1985, she and James received an annulment. According to Janet, this was due to James’ alleged substance abuse.
Her second marriage was a secret until it ended
The following year, in 1986, Janet began dating René Elizondo Jr.
She and the dancer, songwriter, and director married — in secret — in March of 1991.
Despite Janet being part of one of the 1990s’ most famous families, they managed to keep their marriage secret until 2000.
In January 1999, they separated. Only the divorce made their marriage public knowledge.
René filed a lawsuit, seeking a a massive multimillion dollar settlement. In October 2003, he and Janet Jackson were officially divorced, and reached a settlement. According to Forbes, it was to the tune of $10 million in spousal support.
Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri never married, but it was a long-term and significant relationship
During that contentious divorce process, Janet Jackson dated Jermaine Dupri.
They apparently met backstage at one of her shows.
Jermaine, too, was a music producer, rapper, and songwriter — continuing her pattern of serious relationships within the entertainment industry.
Reports vary on the precise timeline, but they began dating in 2002, and split in either 2008 or as late as 2009.
(2009 was the year when Janet’s infamous brother died, but without a clear grasp on the timeline it’s hard to say what life events impacted others)
Her marriage to Wissam Al Mana was not a secret, but the wedding was
In October 2006, Janet Jackson had her first introduction to Wissam Al Mana, a Qatari businessman.
However, they did not begin dating until years later — in 2010.
They remained a fairly private couple, becoming engaged and marrying in 2012 without the usual media circus.
That doesn’t mean that it was a small or private ceremony.
Wissam spent a reported $20 million on the nuptials, flying in 500 guests to the ceremony in Doha, Qatar.
Today, Janet Jackson is divorced
In January of 2017, five years after their high-end (yet secret) wedding, then 50-year-old Janet Jackson gave birth to the couple’s son, Eissa Al Mana.
Unfortunately, the marriage itself soon broke down.
In April — just a few months after they welcomed Eissa — reports shared that Janet and Wissam had separated.
The following month, Janet confirmed that the marriage was over.
Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana went through a contentious split, but are now officially divorced.

Themus Fulks scored 21 points, including a jumper with a minute to play to key a late run that led UCF to an 88-80 win over No. 11 Texas Tech on Saturday. The win marked UCF’s third straight conference win, the first time they have done that since joining the Big 12 three years ago. The Knights led for all but 1:20 of the game but were clinging to a two-point advantage with 1:30 to play after Fulks turned the ball over. But Jaylen Petty fumbled the outlet pass after the steal, and UCF (17-4, 6-3 Big 12) recovered to set up Fulks’ jumper to go up by two possessions. The Red Raiders (16-5, 6-2) missed many opportunities to close the gap as the Knights outworked them in the paint throughout the game. JT Toppin scored 27 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, his 13th double-double this season and his 10th in the last 12 games, to lead Texas Tech. But the Knights dominated the interior, out-rebounding the Red Raiders 35-23. UCF outscored Texas Tech 21-4 on second-chance points. Knights center John Bol scored a career-high 14 points to go with 10 rebounds. It was the sophomore’s second double-double of the season and third straight game with 10 or more rebounds. JaMichael Stillwell added 10 points and 10 rebounds, his sixth double-double of the season. Jordan Burks added 17 points for the Knights. Texas Tech hit 11 3-pointers, including three by Christian Anderson. He finished with 17 points and nine assists. The Red Raiders couldn’t hit the 3’s when they needed them, missing their last six attempts from behind the arc. Next, UCF travels to No. 4 Houston on Wednesday, and Texas Tech hosts No. 14 Kansas on Monday. Reporting by The Associated Press.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
Shohei Ohtani has been continually writing baseball history. Now, the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar is writing something else. Ohtani wrote a children’s book centered around his dog, Decoy, called “Decoy Saves Opening Day,” which sees the Dutch Kooikerhondje deliver the Opening Day baseball to Ohtani behind home plate. It will be released for purchase on Feb. 20. Decoy has made numerous public appearances throughout Ohtani’s MLB career (2018-present), including before regular-season games, during World Series parades and in live reaction videos of the two-way sensation winning MVP honors. One season after accomplishing the first 50-50 season (50 home runs and 50 stolen bases) in MLB history in what was his first year with the Dodgers (2024), Ohtani put together a third consecutive MVP campaign in 2025. In the regular season, Ohtani totaled 55 home runs, 102 RBIs, 20 stolen bases and 6.6 wins above replacement, while posting a .282/.392/.622 slash line. Meanwhile, he led the National League with 146 runs scored and a 179 OPS+. Ohtani also returned to the mound for the first time since tearing his UCL in August 2023, posting a 2.87 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 145 ERA+ and 62 strikeouts in 47.0 innings pitched (14 starts). Then, Ohtani totaled eight home runs and 14 RBIs in 17 postseason games for the Dodgers, while posting a .265/.405/.691 slash line. He also made four starts, posting a 4.43 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 28 strikeouts in 20.1 innings pitched. In Game 4 of the Dodgers’ closeout NL Championship Series matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers, Ohtani had one of the best individual performances in MLB history, blasting three home runs and striking out 10 batters in six scoreless innings pitched as the Dodgers’ starting pitcher. The Dodgers became the first back-to-back World Series champions since the New York Yankees three-peated from 1998-2000. Ohtani, a four-time Silver Slugger and four-time MVP, will play for Japan in the 2026 World Baseball Classic. He also played for Japan in the 2023 World Baseball Classic, with Japan winning the tournament.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
