Music star Janet Jackson appeared in public for the first time since her split today, Wednesday, April 12, 2017.

This marks the first time the superstar has been seen in public since the news that she and husband Wissam Al Mana had split after five years of marriage.

The couple welcomed their first child, son Eissa, in January.

Jackson and Al Mana, who have kept most of their romance hidden in privacy while splitting their time between Dubai and Qatar, famously met in 2010 at a hotel opening.

Two years later, they announced their engagement only to come forward once more and reveal they had tied the knot during an intimate ceremony.

In April 2016, the songstress postponed her Unbreakable World Tour to start planning for a family of her own at the age of 50.
