The fiercely private star secretly married billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana in 2012, but didn’t confirm the union until 2013. The couple began dating in the summer of 2010. 

Jackson has had babies on her brain since 2009. “Sure, I’d adopt. And I think that if I’m really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that’s God’s plan for me,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. The multiplatinum star will celebrate her 50th birthday on May 16.
