Wissam Al Mana reportedly became too controlling during Jackson's pregnancy.
Only three months after giving birth to her son, Eissa Al Mana, at age 50, Janet Jackson and her husband Wissam Al Mana are calling it quits.

While no definitive reason has officially been released for the split, Page Six offers a variety of explanations from anonymous sources. Apparently, Al Mana, who Jackson married 5 years ago, had been censoring the way she performed in concerts, what she wore and how she danced, barring all "bumping and brinding" and skin-revealing outfits.
"She thought he had become too controlling during the pregnancy and she had already allowed him to dictate her appearance and even the way she performed at concerts," a source told Page Six, adding that "it drove her crazy and she felt she was losing her fan base."
Jackson postponed her Unbreakable World Tour indefinitely after making her pregnancy announcement last year.
