“Yes, I separated from my husband, we are in court and the rest is in God’s hands,” she said in the clip.

According to latest reports by People.com, the estranged couple were seen together in a High Court of Justice in London, to begin their divorce proceedings, after almost 5 years of marriage and a son, Eissa together.

Janet and Al Mana were spotted leaving the courtroom, Thursday afternoon after the first round of their divorce proceedings.

As the pair exited the court, Al Manna looked sad and was alone while Janet left the building in great spirits with an entourage that included her brother Randi, her assistant and her legal team.

The 50-year-old pop star sister of the late Michael Jackson wedded the Qatari billionaire businessman in 2012 and their adorable son, was born on January 3, 2017.

Daily Mail has however suggested that the divorce may become messy as Al Mana, 42, is estimated to have a fortune of around £800 million, which is at least four times Jackson’s net worth.

It was also gathered that the estranged couple’s pre-nuptial agreement stated that a substantial financial payout would only be payable if the marriage lasted five years.

Since it’s believed that they married in early 2012, Janet could now be entitled to a substantial chunk of Al Mana’s fortune.
