Fans are still reeling from Janet Jackson's split from husband Wissam Al Mana, which came just three months after she gave birth to their first child together, son Eissa.
While the two have been married since 2012, little is known about Jackson's notoriously private husband. According to People, the 50-year-old superstar and the 42-year-old Qatari businessman separated shortly after the baby was born due to "cultural differences."
"The cultural differences between her and Wissam became even more obvious [after Eissa arrived]," a source tells the magazine. "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."
