Janet Jackson admits disappointment about her previous marriages

Janet Jackson shared some insights into her previous marriage experiences and parenting skills.

In an interview with The Guardian, Janet described her previous marriages as her biggest disappointments.

First, Janet eloped with James DeBarge in 1984, but their marriage was annulled just 14 months later. She then married Rene Elizondo Jr. in 1991 and Wissam Al Mana in 2012.

However, when Janet spoke about her experience, she began by saying, “Every marriage I’ve ever had.” She then added, “Only the last one,” referring to her marriage to Wissam, which ended shortly after the birth of their son, Eissa, in 2017.

“I pray to God. I'm single, so I pray to God that I have different lenses on these eyes than before,” she said.

Janet added: “I know if someone walked by… even if I didn't recognize them, I'm sure my friends would shake me and say, 'What are you doing?!' But I think I see it differently now. I think I'm breaking that pattern.”

In addition, the singer and actress spoke about her role as a mother, saying: “I want him to have the experience of being a child because you can't repeat that. You are an adult for the rest of your life, so I want him to enjoy every single minute of being a child.”

“Don't you think you learned from your parents? There are things you wish your parents had done differently, and you say, 'No, I'm going to tell (my son) that.' Because if they had done that with me, it would have been a lot better for me as a child,” she added.
