Janet Jackson has reportedly become engaged to Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, whom she’s been dating since 2010.
Wissam Al Mana, 37, “gave her a huge, expensive ring” and Janet Jackson, 46, is so afraid it will get lost, “she keeps it locked up”, according to Us Weekly.
Wissam Al Mana is the managing director of Al Mana Retail, which represents A/X Armani Exchange, and he’s a shareholder in the Saks Fifth Avenue.
Janet Jackson’s wealthy beau plans on sparing no expense for their spring nuptials in Qatar, and “he is flying in all of Janet’s friends and family on private jets”.
One source said that the pair’s ceremony will undoubtedly be “a circus”, and Wissam Al Mana plans to hire a “top chef to create a custom menu”.
Janet jackson, who’s almost a decade older than her Middle Eastern man, wants to start a family as soon as possible.
“If she can’t have them, she will adopt,” said a Janet Jackson insider.
Janet Jackson was last seen with the luxury-brand mogul shopping in West Hollywood earlier this month, and in July the loved-up couple were spotted laughing on a yacht in Sardinia.
The singer, who’s net worth is estimated at $150 million, has been married twice before.
In 1985, Janet Jackson had her marriage to childhood friend and singer James DeBarge annulled after eloping only months earlier.
And in 1991, Janet Jackson secretly married dancer, songwriter, and director René Elizondo, Jr., but the longtime couple divorced in 2000.
Two years later, Janet Jackson began her on/off seven-year relationship with record producer Jermaine Dupri.
In the past, Janet Jackson was linked to actor Rob Lowe, Hollywood screenwriter Gary DeVore, rapper Q-Tip, actor Matthew McConaughey, and Boyz II Men’s Wanya Morris.
