Michelle Williams ends engagement to Chad Johnson
Michelle Williams is reportedly back to being single.
The singer announced on her Instagram Stories, in a post that appears to have been deleted, that her engagement to pastor Chad Johnson “didn’t work out.”
“I still remain fearless,” the former Destiny’s Child singer wrote as a nod to her new single “Fearless,” also released Friday (via Us Weekly). “I guess I still remain single! Thing didn’t work out.”
Williams, 38, and Johnson announced their engagement in April after he popped the question in March. They met in 2017 at a spiritual retreat.
However, wedding planning wasn’t filled with typical joyous prenuptial festivities as the singer checked herself into a mental health facility for depression over the summer.
In announcing their split, Williams also noted that “the healing that needs to take place is a must!” and wished Johnson well.
“I don’t wanna destroy another relationship. Blessings to him, his family and ministry. #FEARLESS.”
The breakup also comes as their reality show “Chad Loves Michelle” has been airing on OWN after premiering in November. Williams is also in the middle of a Broadway stint as Erzulie in “Once on This Island” until Jan. 6.
Janet Jackson splits with billionaire husband
She’s having a marriage malfunction!
Just months after giving birth to her first child at age 50, Janet Jackson has split with billionaire husband Wissam Al Mana.
While one source said the split is amicable and the couple will co-parent their son, others said trouble had been brewing for months.
“She thought he had become too controlling during the pregnancy and she had already allowed him to dictate her appearance and even the way she performed at concerts,” the source who works closely with the couple said.
Other demands that the “Rhythm Nation” singer gave in to included toning down her 2014 concert tour — wearing clothing that covered her body, instead of the skin-revealing outfits fans had grown to love.
She also declined to do music videos that featured any bumping and grinding, trademarks of her work, the source said.
Jackson also resented the reclusiveness of her husband, who rarely met with her friends or family, the source said.
Still, the couple hoped a baby would help.
They welcomed their son, Eissa Al Mana, on January 3 after nearly five years of marriage. After much deliberation over whether to have a lavish wedding, Jackson gave in to Al Mana’s demands for a simple and private ceremony, sources said.
But Jackson was doing all the compromising — with little give from the younger Al Mana, 41.
The last straw for the thrice married “Control” singer was her husband’s reluctance to show concern for Katherine Jackson’s elder abuse claims against her nephew Trent.Jackson even quietly made London her home after Al Mana insisted the family live under strict Muslim custom, which included prohibiting the new mom from being seen in public while nursing the baby.
Katherine recently returned to Los Angeles after a two month stay in London with Janet.
“That’s when Janet made her decision that there was no turning back,” the source said. “She was worried about her mother — and Wissam showed little to no concern.”
Jackson is believed to be worth $250 million while Al Mana is a billionaire Qatari businessman. The source was not aware of any prenuptial agreement and declined to say whether Jackson would seek spousal or child support.
