A source close to Jackson revealed the breakup to The Mail on Sunday.

“Sadly, Janet and Wissam have decided that it wasn’t working and to go their separate ways.

“They’re both busy people but determined to be good parents, even if they’re apart. It’s amicable and Eissa will stay with his mother, who is basing herself in London.”

Jackson married singer James DeBarge in 1984, but the marriage ended shortly after and was later annulled.

Her second husband was Mexican backup dancer Rene Elizondo.
