Janet Jackson and René Elizondo Jr.
If you don’t remember the marriage of singer Janet Jackson and dancer-turner-music-video-director René Elizondo Jr., there’s an excellent reason: they wanted to keep it under wraps! After marrying in 1991, the two worked their hardest “to have a normal family life” out of the public eye. “Since I was a child, my personal life has been lived in the public eye,” Jackson said, explaining why she wanted such a private marriage.
However, in the end, even a private marriage could not save Jackson and Elizondo Jr. from going their separate ways in 2000. While Jackson recently separated from her longtime husband, Elizondo Jr. had remained married since 2010.
