Janet Jackson’s romance heats up

Janet Jackson‘s relationship with her new billionaire boyfriend, Wissam Al Mana, seems to be heating up. They were spotted Tuesday dining at Rabbit in the Moon on West Eighth Street. “Janet was glowing. They had a corner table and were very cuddly. They seemed very much in love,” a spy said. “Wissam picked up the check, and when asked if they’d be back next week, they said they were flying to Paris for Fashion Week.” Jackson, who split with Jermaine Dupri last year after seven years, met the Qatari businessman, who at 35 is nearly 10 years her junior, when she performed at an event in the Middle East last December. Wissam whisked Janet off for a romantic break in Sardinia this summer and friends credit him with helping her cope with the death of her brother Michael. Wissam is director of Al Mana Retail, a shareholder in Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Dubai, Doha, Bahrain and Kuwait.
