The Word: Janet Jackson is a married woman?

Giorgio Armani - Front Row - MFW F/W 2013

If you’ve been wondering where Janet Jackson has been (besides being caught up in her crazy family drama), it turns out she’s been off getting married. The 46-year-old singer secretely wed Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, 37, last year. In a statement to “Entertainment Tonight,” the couple tried to set the record straight about rumors the two were planning an over-the-top wedding in the near future. “The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony,” the couple wrote, thus blowing everyone’s minds. “Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children’s charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy.”

There’s something about the phrase “Qatari billionaire” that has such a nice ring to it, right?
