(Reuters) - Singer Janet Jackson said on Monday that she married her
Qatari businessman boyfriend last year, quashing media reports of upcoming
nuptials.
Jackson, 46, the younger sister of the late singer Michael Jackson, was
engaged to billionaire Wissam Al Mana, 37, last year but kept the news
under wraps.
"The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last
year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony," Jackson
and Al Mana said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight.
"Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective
favorite children's charities."
The American singer is known for keeping her private life from the media,
rarely speaking out about her ex-husbands.
She married soul singer James DeBarge in 1984, and the marriage was
annulled a year later. Her 1991 marriage to music video director Rene
Elizondo ended in divorce in 2000.
