Janet Jackson Sparks Romance Rumors with Maxwell During London Outing
The pair were spotted holding hands as they made their way to a show in the English capital. Their appearance comes nearly ten years after the "All for You" singer divorced her billionaire husband.
Janet Jackson and Maxwell attended the 1500th performance of "Cabaret" at The Kit Kat Club on Monday, July 7. The two were photographed arriving at the London theatre, dressed to the nines for the occasion.

Janet looked effortlessly chic in an all-white ensemble featuring wide-leg pants, a crisp button-up shirt, and an oversized blazer. She styled her hair in a high braided bun and finished the look with large hoop earrings.
Beside her, the "Pretty Wings" singer wore a sharp black pinstripe double-breasted suit paired with a black shirt and coordinating striped tie. He accessorized with tinted sunglasses and a subtle pocket square.

The duo seemed to be in good spirits as they made their way to the venue hand in hand. Their appearance comes eight years after Janet divorced Wissam Al Mana in 2017 after five years of marriage.
The separation came just three months after they welcomed their now-nine-year-old son, Eissa Al Mana. Several sources, including Janet's brother Randy, claimed the relationship had become verbally abusive and that Janet felt like "a prisoner in her own home."

Others alleged Wissam had become too controlling and even dictated the singer's appearance. Wissam denied these allegations at the time, stating that his sole focus was his son. The divorce was finalized the same year it was filed.
