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’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…

QUICK RECAP OF JANET’S & RENE’ ELIZONDO’S MARRIAGE

– 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.”

The post Janet Jackson’s Ex-Husband Is Loving Life With Current Wife…Who’s Nothing Like Janet appeared first on I Love Old School Music.

We’re accustomed to hearing about the ex-wives of male celebs digging deep into their pockets to make them pay up for their years spent together. However, we typically don’t hear much talk about the big checks some female celebs cut to their less famous exes after a divorce.

Our girl, Janet Jackson, has long ago learned her lesson, as was evident with her billionaire ex-husband. But back in the day she had to give a big ol’ pay-day to her ex-husband, Rene Elizondo, following they divorced in 1999. Remember him?

The Ex-Hubby Got PAID!

Forbes reported that after they divorced, Janet had to pay Rene a whopping $10 MILLION for their eight years of marriage…wow! Now I know what you’re thinking: ‘Why didn’t Janet have a pre-nup?’. Well, apparently she did, but Elizondo sued Janet for spousal support, claiming that he’d been forced ‘under duress’ to sign a prenuptial agreement. So, once their legal battle was all said and done, he came up big time with a cool $10 mill.’

Janet Paid Less Than Lionel Richie Had To Though

The brighter side for Janet, is that her payout is better than what Lionel Richie had to pay to his ex-wife every month. Nevertheless, Janet’s divorce settlement is still quite interesting because the roles were reversed, proving that the celebrity divorce game works the same way on both sides.

Random Fun Facts About Janet’s Other Exes

Speaking of Janet’s exes, singer James Debarge, was once jailed in the same prison as singer, Chris Brown. And get this…according t Chris, the two even wrote songs together while in the pen.’ Below are the details…

Via TMZ: Breezy (Chris Brown) and James [were] being held in adjacent cells in a special section of the Los Angeles County jail reserved for high profile prisoners. Although they [couldn’t] see each other, the two [spent] their days collaborating vocally and [had] successfully penned at least three songs together.

What’s more, the Grammy winner and the DeBarge brother [had] inspired more inmates on their cell block to join in on the harmonies.

That’s rehab’ therapy at it’s finest.

From a physical similarity standpoint, Janet seemed to have a specific type because her choice in men has been pretty consistent throughout the years- James Debarge, Rene Elizondo, Wissam Al Mana. But the one exception was her years-long relationship Jermaine Dupri, whom many thought was an odd, yet very cool choice for Janet.

We all live and we learn, which Janet likely did after her marriage to Rene Elizondo, In fact, as we mentioned earlier, it now seems like Janet is determined to never, EVER be in the position she was in with Rene ever again. Her most recent and third ex-husband, Wissam Al Mana, is worth $1 BILLION. Not sure how much of that Janet scored from their divorce, but pretty sure it was a pretty penny.
