Well if this isn't the shocker of the day....

Janet Jackson and her now husband Wissam Al Mana have confirmed in a statement that they are married. And they have been since last year! Deets inside...

Forget the rumors that 46-year-old Janet and her long time man, 36-year-old Qatari billionaire Wissam are planning for an extravagant wedding soon (something we never believed anyway). But the couple has one-upped the rumors by confirming, in a statement today, that they are ALREADY MARRIED.

Yep, you read that right. Another secret marriage for Janet. "Entertainment Tonight" received the couple's first statement as a couple that read:

"The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony...."Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favorite children’s charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy. With love, Wissam and Janet"

Wowzers. No word on their exact wedding date. It could have been just a couple months ago in 2012 or literally a year ago. Either way, these two make a gorgeous couple and have looked super happy together since they started dating in 2009. The newlyweds spent this past weekend sitting front row at the Milan Fashion Week shows as Wissam is a buyer for luxe shopping malls in Dubai. And the twosome were also at the Giorgio Armani show today:

Get it Mrs. Jackson. And CONGRATS!

Jermaine Dupri weeps....

She is one celeb who has been able to keep all of her personal business private until she is ready to reveal it. Amazing! This kind of thing really makes me a believer in those longstanding rumors about the child she supposedly has.

Now that Janet is married to

Now that Janet is married to a middle eastern man, I've noticed she's keeping her body under wraps, covered up, and has quit the revealing ensembles of the past. After her Superbowl wardrobe malfunction I think that's a good thing.

A total upgrade from Jermain Dupri. She looks happy and glowing and young rich dick will do that for you. It's hard enough being a Jackson cause the spotlight is ALWAYS on you like a curse. I totally understand why she wants to keep her life as private as possible.

Not surprised. She's good at keeping secrets cause she don't tell her fam. I bet she was laughing at all those outlets reporting on a 20 million dollar wedding. I never for a minute that J would spend 1 million on a wedding. Show boating has never been her thing.
