Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri Break Up

Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri Split

July 17, 2009 by Celebrity

Sad news — Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri have broken up after almost seven years together. Jermaine didn't attend Michael's memorial service, and apparently he's been spreading the word that his relationship with Janet is over. Sources claim they'd been drifting apart for awhile, and supposedly Janet thought their personal lives and careers were too closely connected. It's been a difficult month for Janet, but we wish she and Jermaine all the best in their separate endeavors.

I've seen recent videos of him acting like an immature jerk in the studio--talking out of line about other womens' bodies, so I definitely think she can do better. Horrible timing though.

I was always confused by this couple...Janet can have whomever she wants. However, they did start to grow on me. It's sad that they are splitting up after what is eons in the celebrity world, and especially during this rough time for Janet.

That's sad. I like Janet. Sorry for the generic comment.

that's a shame for them, but i'm sure that they will do ok. it's impressive when a couple is together for as long as they were, and i hope that they find happiness somewhere. maybe having MJ's kids will take janet's mind off of things.

I heard this a while back. I thought they were already over, that's why he didn't go to MJ's funeral.

I always thought they were a good fit although her albums she's released with him working on them have not really been my favorites.. Sad news. I'm sure her brother passing was a big wake up call and she just reevaluated her situation..

The marriage never seemed "real" to me. They just don't go together. Not to sound impolite but I thought he liked men? Weird. They are better off anyway. Good thing no children are involved.
