Janet Jackson, wissam appear in court

To begin their court proceedings, Janet Jackson and Wissam Al Mana showed up at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, on Thursday.

According to E! News, the 51-year-old singer left with her assistant and an onlooker says that she looked to be “in great spirits”. However, the Qatari businessman did not appear to have come with an entourage, and seemed quite “somber”.  The complete proceedings of the court could not be recorded as the media was not permitted inside. If E! News’ source is to be believed, the exes had a private meeting in the morning of the hearing with Justice Anna, after which Wassim left first, 20 minutes earlier than Janet did. 

The couple had welcomed a son earlier this year.
