Public interest in Janet Jackson’s personal life has always been high. In addition to the star family, the artist herself preferred not to comment on the numerous rumors about what really happened behind the scenes.
The singer married musician James DeBarge in 1984. However, she had already divorced him in 1985. Due to her age at the time – she was just over 18 years old – Janet chose to hide the rumors that a child had been born in marriage. In a new Lifetime and A&E documentary, Jackson finally dotted his i’s. Her pregnancy and childbirth rumors were based on rumors.
As a result of taking birth control at the time, I gained weight. According to the artist, many took it as a sign that I was expecting a child. She denied rumors that she had given birth to a child and given him up to her sister Rebbie or brother Jackie. The rumors have been around for a very long time. As an example, I do not allow the child to see his father. It’s not about me at all. Janet insisted that she would never interfere with a child’s communication with his father.
Additionally, the artist said that over the years on stage, she heard many rumors about herself that did not correspond to reality. She was even rumored to be the mother of her niece Stevanna, since the two are very similar. Janet has only one child – the son Issa, born in January 2017 to businessman Wissam Al Mana.
