Pop icon Janet Jackson celebrated her son Eissa Al Mana’s 8th birthday with a soul-stirring message shared on her Instagram page.
Janet Jackson has always been fiercely private about her personal life—especially when it comes to her son, Eissa Al Mana. On his 8th birthday, the legendary artist shared a special insight into her life as a devoted and affectionate mother.
Janet shared a heartfelt video on her official Instagram account, dedicated to her young son, whom she tends to keep away from the public gaze. In the emotional clip, the “Rhythm Nation” star appeared glowing as she addressed her son directly, expressing her affection and admiration for him.
“Hi, sweetheart,” Janet began, her voice filled with warmth. “I just want to say that I’m so proud of you. Of the young man, you’re becoming. You’re so creative. You’re so kind. You’re loving. You’re really, really smart. You’re so talented. You’re very brilliant, baby. And I’m so proud of you. So proud to be your mama. I love you so much. Happy 8th birthday (kisses). I love you, baby.”
The emotional tribute left fans in awe, with many praising Janet for her unwavering devotion to her son.
Despite her global fame, the pop legend has always prioritized giving Eissa a normal and grounded upbringing, keeping him out of the spotlight while cherishing their special bond.
Janet, who welcomed Eissa in 2017 with ex-husband Wissam Al Mana at age 50, has often credited motherhood as one of the greatest joys of her life. Three months after Eissa’s birth, Jackson and Al Mana ended their five-year marriage.
Janet Jackson swiftly adjusted to being a mother, sharing with The Sunday Times in June 2019, “I’m feeling really good. I have a lovely son.”
“My friends call me Superwoman,” she added. “God knows I’m not. But I think what they are seeing is the energy and that extra drive I’m getting from the inspiration of Eissa.”
During her early years, Jackson lived in Indiana before relocating to Los Angeles, while her son is being raised in a different country. The singer shares parenting responsibilities for Eissa with her former husband in London.
