In a statement released to Entertainment Today last month, singer Janet Jackson, one of America’s biggest superstars confirmed that she and Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana were officially married. The statement read: 

“The rumors 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 favorite 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.”
