In 2012, Al Mana married American pop singer Janet Jackson. Their son, Eissa was born on January 2, 2017. Three months later, the couple separated and their divorce proceeding is currently on-going. Following their split, the Wissam and Janet agreed on the joint custody of their son.
The split turned more contentious in June 2018 when the singer called the police following the report of her son’s nanny about her husband’s aggressive behavior which frightened the infant. According to Jackson’s brother, Randy, the nanny locked herself in a bathroom just to call the singer. Janet immediately reached out to the police and requested the authority to check on Eissa.
