In the adorable mother and son snap, she could be seen kissing the gorgeous baby on the forehead as he yawns.

Why Janet Jackson's Marriage to Wissam al Mana Was Never Meant to Last

Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana were separated, barely three months after welcoming their son. The news landed with a blow, a shocking turn of events during what should have been the happiest time of Jackson's life.

The pop icon had wanted to have a child for years; while she didn't have the easiest pregnancy, the birth of her son Eissa in January was said to have been "stress-free" and healthy. Alas by the time she became a mother, she no longer had designs on an ideal nuclear family life with Al Mana by her side.

It's difficult to pin down the moment when Jackson's marriage broke down so soon after such a joyful development, but in all likelihood the cracks started to appear long before Eissa arrived.

Shortly after she and producer Jermaine Dupri broke up after seven years of dating, the twice-divorced Jackson was asked in 2009 if she still believed in marriage.

She replied, "For [some] people, sure," she told Harper's Bazaar in her first interview since Michael Jackson's death on June 25, 2009.

"I don't know if I'll get married again. I'll put it like this: If God wants me to, then I will."

"I haven't entertained any offers [for dates] thus far," she added, "but I'm locking myself in my work right now."

Rather, the Grammy winner met Al Mana at a hotel opening in Dubai in April 2010. The Qatari-born, London-bred billionaire businessman co-owns the Al Mana Group, which operates a number of high-end automakers and fashion retailers in the Persian Gulf region, with his two brothers—a dynamic that Jackson, as a member of one of the most famous families in entertainment history, could certainly understand.

Both of them hit it off and started dating a few months later. That September they were spotted together at a party thrown by Roberto Cavalli in Paris. But though future public sightings would be few and far between for the couple, as they spent most of their time together outside of the United States, they weren't keeping their relationship a secret.

"I think a man's dream woman changes as he goes through different stages in his life. I'm fortunate to be dating my dream woman now," Al Mana told Harper's Bazaar Arabia in 2011.

The following year, amid rumors that they had a big wedding planned, he and Jackson took off and tied the knot without anyone outside of their inner circle being the wiser until Jackson confirmed she was a married woman in February 2013.

Both Janet and Al Mani wanted a private life.

"I'm grateful for success. Success is wonderful," Janet wrote in her 2011 book True You. "The truth, though, is that being in the spotlight can complicate personal problems even more. You never have a chance to deal with yourself privately and work through issues on your own. Everything is on display for the world to see."

For his part, Al Mani told Entrepreneur Middle East in 2014, "You can ask me anything you want; I'm very opinionated... except about my private life. I don't want to talk about that."

But no matter how love-hate her relationship with the spotlight was, Janet was still an entertainer. She is said to be worth roughly $150 million, her lucrative brand, unlike her husband's, is built around her—and to remain fresh, the fans have to be fed every once in a while.

The bloom was rumored to be off the rose as early as 2014, but any reports of trouble in paradise were soon outshone by the ecstatic news that Jackson was planning to head back out on tour.

"This year, new music, new world tour, a new movement," Jackson announced in a video message marking her 49th birthday in May 2015. "I've been listening. Let's keep the conversation going."

Janet likewise made a grand return to the BET Awards that June, to accept the Dance Icon Award; she thanked her husband, but he didn't make the trip to be there in person.

Her Indestructible World Tour started on Aug. 31, 2015, and her fans were overjoyed. Many also ended up disappointed, however, as issues with her throat caused a number of cancellations and then, in April 2016, she pulled the plug on her tour entirely because she and her husband were—as she cryptically put it at the time—"planning our family."

When Janet returned to the stage in 2015, one of her primary costumes was a long-sleeve tunic over harem pants. She wore the modest ensemble with her usual flair, but it made for a stark contrast to her more flamboyant, skin-baring tour looks of the past.

Also, there have also been rumors for months either that Jackson, who was raised a Jehovah's Witness but had distanced herself from certain tenets of the holiday-eschewing faith, had converted to Islam for Al Mana or was planning to do so as the birth of her child approached. Two individuals who aren't entirely on the same page about religion can make it work, but that gets harder when a child enters the equation. Not that parents have to be the same religion, obviously, but it can create major friction when they don't agree about how to raise their kids—and in this case, multiple reports suggest that Jackson and Al Mana's differences only became more irreconcilable once their son was born.

"The cultural differences between her and Wissam became even more obvious," a source told People in the wake of the separation news. "They come from very different worlds. "For years, Janet tried to adapt to his culture. Since it's not a culture she grew up with, it's been challenging for her. She often felt she disappointed Wissam."

An insider told the Daily Mail that Janet thought Al Mana had "become too controlling" during her pregnancy.
