Danette Jackson was born under Scorpio like her husband Jon B. The mother of two has no public social media presence and rarely features on her celebrated spouse's socials.

While she is not a red-carpet fixture, she has accompanied the singer to some events throughout their relationship. The couple are parents to two children.

Jon B's Wife Received a 'Priceless' Gift on Her 40th Birthday

On his 45th birthday, November 11, 2019, the crooner released his single "Priceless." He corrected an interviewer who called it a birthday present to himself:

"It's really more of a gift to my wife; her b-day [is on] November 17. It's a complimentary song to women in general, to the women holding it down."

Jackson, who turned 40, was not featured in the music video. In the article, the one-time Tupac collaborator commented on the state of R&B, "Women need to be celebrated and not sexualized, and that's where I've always come in. Chivalry isn't dead."

This is not the first time the "Are U Still Down" singer did something adorable for this spouse for her birthday. During a red carpet interview at the 2018 Soul Train Awards, he serenaded her with a happy birthday.

The couple donned polka-dot tops outside their polling station.

Wearing an understated black dress with a grey sleeveless overcoat, Jackson looked on adoringly as he personalized the song, adding, "My dear wife Danette." He directed his singing into a CBS 3 News microphone but made sly glances at her throughout the acapella rendition.

Danette Jackson Has Been Married for over a Decade and a Half to Jon B

The couple married on March 31, 2007. "Cheers to 10yrs, " John B wrote in 2017. "Thankful for the Team We have Become, Thankful for the 2 Angels Who Bless us with Stillness and Light. Thankful for What's to Come."

For International Women's Day in March 2019, the performer used a photo of him with his wife in a Bowie sweatshirt at the start of a carousel of women in his life. "What's A King Without His Queen?" he mused.

The couple donned polka-dot tops outside their polling station during the 2016 elections. She is already wearing a sticker to prove she has voted while he holds up his to encourage his following to "use your voice."

Danette Jackson and Jon B. Have a Small Family.

The "Comfortable Swagg" entertainer never posts photos of their two daughter's faces on social media. For Father's Day 2022, he shared a carousel of his life with his girls, all with their faces obscured, captioned:

"Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers and Father Figures out there. I don't take a day for granted with my girls blessed to have been chosen to be their Dad."

He shared similar photos taken from the back of his family of four for New Year's wishes in 2018 and one of his wife and daughters for 2017 Memorial Day.
