Janet Jackson ‘engagement imminent’

Janet Jackson is reportedly very close to getting engaged as she is "totally dedicated" to her beau.

The 45-year-old superstar began dating Qatari billionaire businessman Wissam Al Mana in 2009. The pair have kept their romance largely out of the limelight although it's been claimed they are either engaged or very close to making the commitment.

"They are totally dedicated to each other. When you are in their presence, there is such a good feeling," a close friend of Janet's told the Chicago Sun-Times.

There were reports earlier this year that Wissam had popped the question to Janet, although nothing was ever confirmed.

Janet and Wissam have also discussed parenthood in the past, with claims they are keen to start a family once they are married. Janet is close with her late brother Michael's children – sons Prince and Blanket and daughter Paris.

Janet has tied the knot twice before.

Her 1984 union with James DeBarge was annulled the following year and she secretly married music promo producer René Elizondo, Jr. in 1991.

They divorced in 2000.
