Janet Jackson was all smiles leaving a London courthouse amid divorce proceedings from estranged husband Wissam Al Mana.

The same could not be said for 42-year old Al Mana who was described as appearing “somber.”
The former couple is reported to have had a private meeting with Justice Anna Pauffley. The meeting reportedly began at 10 a.m. local time with Al Mana leaving first at 4:10 p.m. Jackson left 20 minutes later.
Jackson married Qatari businessman Al Mana in 2012 and welcomed their son, Eissa Al Mana, in 2017. The couple called it quits three months after Eissa’s birth, reportedly due to disagreements about how Al Mana wanted to raise their son.
