People magazine, Us Weekly and Entertainment Tonight all said
sources had confirmed that Jackson, 50, and Wissam Al Mana had
broken up after five years of marriage.
Representatives for the singer declined to confirm the split,
which follows the birth in January of Jackson's first child, a
boy the couple named Eissa.
Britain's Mail on Sunday publication, which was among the first
to report the separation, quoted a source close to the singer as
saying it was amicable. It was not known when the couple
separated.
"They're both busy people but determined to be good parents,
even if they're apart. It's amicable and Eissa will stay with
his mother, who is basing herself in London," the source told
the Mail on Sunday.
Jackson and Al Mana, 43, married in 2012, and a year ago the
singer postponed her "Unbreakable" world tour so they could
focus on starting a family.
Jackson, the fiercely private youngest child of the famed
Jackson singing family, had two previous marriages: a year-long
union with soul singer James DeBarge in the mid 1980s, and to
dancer Rene Elizondo Jr from 1991-2000.
