It turns out all those rumors about Janet Jackson planning a wedding, are "not true."

Jackson nixed rumors of her upcoming nuptials to Wissam Al Mana, confirming they were already hitched.

The singer and Al Mana released a statement to Entertainment Tonight: "The rumors regarding an extravagant wedding are simply not true. Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony."

ABC News reported some had speculated that the billionaire businessman was planning to spend millions of dollars on a big wedding in Qatar.

This is not the first time the pop star has kept her marriage a secret.

Jackson, who married Rene Elizondo Jr. in 1991, kept their relationship a secret until 2000, when they divorced, ABC News reported.

The newlyweds decided to give each other the same wedding gift - a donation to one another's favorite children's charity.
