HER MARRIAGE TO JAMES DEBARGE

Her first marriage was with her boyfriend James Debarge. Although their relationship ended in divorce just months after they got married, DeBarge dropped a huge shocker on the hit show "Growing Up Hip Hop" where he claimed that the two of them actually have a secret daughter.

Janet and James eloped in 1984, but soon after, their marriage was annulled. Years later, DeBarge's daughter Kristinia found articles about their alleged love child, which prompted him to speak up about it. While he confirmed it, Janet never spoke up about the issue.

Janet and Rene only announced their marriage when they decided to get a divorce, which was initially a friendly separation. However, things went sour after Elizondo threatened to sue her for $10 million and spill their secrets through a book. They haven't talked since.

After three failed marriages, Janet is done dating, and instead, she'd rather praise her "woman crushes" on Instagram.

HER MARRIAGE TO WISSAM AL MANA

Jackson's latest marriage was with Wissam Al Mana, a man whom Janet shares son Eissa with. Although they had a private relationship, their messy divorce was publicized after a call to authorities was made by Jackson to check on the welfare of their then-17-month-old son Aissa who was with Al Mana at the Nobu hotel in Malibu, California.

They quietly wed in 2012, but split up in 2017, just three months after Jackson gave birth to their son, Eissa. Despite their split, Al Mana called Jackson "the most beautiful person in the world" on his website and the rest became history.
