Janet Jackson’s Ex-Husband Is Loving Life With Current Wife…Who’s Nothing Like Janet
Posted On : September 23, 2021

With all the talk about the Janet Jackson rather quick divorce from her billionaire son’s father, Wissam Al Mana, we were wondering what her prior ex-husband of nine years, Rene’ Elizondo, was up to. Clearly, Janet and Rene’ have long ago moved on with her lives — ever since divorcing in 2000 — but what we’ve found out about him is pretty interesting.
RENE’S WIFE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM JANET…
Aside from us realizing that Janet’s latest ex-hubby, Wissam, looks like the long lost brother of her other ex-hubby, Rene’ Elizondo, there wasn’t much else they seemed to have in common. In particular, their wives couldn’t have been more different from one another.
Rene’ Elizondo’s current wife, Britt
Rene’s been married to his wife, Britt Elizondo, since 2010, but they’ve been together a total of seventeen years, and also share an adorable young daughter.
Rene is 59-years-old, and his wife is about 39…he likes ’em a tad younger these days. Britt is of Portugese decent, and she’s a real estate agent who sells luxury properties primarily in Malibu, Cali.. So yeah, Rene’s a far cry from being married to a superstar, like Janet, but he and Britt look really happy living their quiet life together, away from the cameras.
Rene’s wife also posted this cool pic and caption of her hubby, who she playfully called “baby daddy” on Father’s day…
Rene’ is still following his passion as a music video director. He also hosts a podcast titled, “The Pretty Messed Up Podcast,” alongside Backstreet Boys singer, AJ McLean, and “Dancing With The Stars” dancer, Cheryl Burke.
Aside from that, Rene’ is an avid poker player. And he is also very proud family man.

– Janet and Rene’ were together since the ’80s, the public thought they were just dating for many years, until their 2000 divorce happened and cost Janet a whole lotta coins in spousal support…reportedly $10 million.
– Rene’ and Janet were together for a total of 14 years and he co-wrote 37 of her songs, including hits, “Come Back To Me,” “That’s the Way Love Goes,” “Together Again,” “Rhythm Nation,” and “Black Cat.”
– Bobby Brown revealed in his memoir, “Every Little Step: My Story,” that Janet cheated on Rene’ with him back in the day and also broke his heart like no other woman had EVER broke him before…not even Whitney Houston.
– Rene’ said he would NEVER write a tell-all book about his time with Janet because he had too much love for her to ever do that. Rene’ once told Jet Magazine this about writing a tell-all: “Never, never, never,” he stressed. “I never respected people who do that.”

We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
