Janet Jackson finds a New Love

Last summer, Janet Jackson dealt with one of the lowest points of her life. Her slide went into high speed when Michael Jackson, her older brother, died. At the time, she was developing a bond with filmmaker Tyler Perry as she was filming Why Did I Get Married, Too? She had to leave immediately to be with her family while they represented Michael.

For months, her relationship with record executive, Jermaine Dupri, had been falling to pieces. Because of his job, Dupri was often on the road, working. Jackson did not have much of an income as she had been dropped from Def Jam. Jermaine remained at the label, which caused strain. But, when he, too, was fired, the strain increased.

Finally back at home, Janet Jackson found herself busy when she received the news that Michael had died. With their relationship on the rocks and the distance killing them, Janet Jackson decided to break up with her longtime boyfriend, Jermaine Dupri. Both Jackson and Dupri insist that they have remained friends. However, following her time with Dupri, Janet Jackson began making appearances with Tyler Perry. A few months ago, JR posed the question if Janet Jackson had moved on with Perry.

Janet Jackson frequently mentioned that Tyler Perry was there for her with all that she had gone through last summer and Tyler Perry began speaking of a new woman in his life. He said that he would not reveal who the woman was, but he hinted at Janet Jackson. Despite all of the hints, no official announcement was made and the rumors eventually blew over. Still, Janet Jackson has remained great friends with the wealthy Tyler Perry and when her new boyfriend was revealed to be rich, many thought she was ready to open up about her relationship with Perry. Instead, she is with an Arabian man.

It is said that Janet Jackson has been dating an international businessman from Saudi Arabia for the past few months. While Perry may have been there for Janet Jackson when she needed someone the most, he was only there as a friend. The question of Tyler Perry and his relationship status still often comes up, but he no longer makes any hints of who his "special woman" is. There is a possibility that he picked up the wrong vibe from Janet Jackson during their time together during the filming, the death of Michael, and when she broke things off with Jermaine Dupri.
