Jackson welcomed Eissa on January 3, 2017, with her then-husband Wissam Al Mana.

Here is a look at what we know about Janet Jackson’s son Eissa.

She is adamant that he wait until he is 18 if he wants to pursue music professionally.

“First he chose the violin.

He loves classical music,” Jackson explained on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

“First day of school, he took the violin to school.

Third day of school, he says, ‘Mama, I want to take a cello to school.’

I said, ‘Baby, you don’t have a cello.’

He says, ‘…

Turn my violin into a cello, yo Mama.'”

“It is hard being a working mother,” she told Stellar (via theDaily Telegraphin 2019).

“I don’t have a nanny.

I do it all myself.

If my mother did it with nine children, there’s no reason I can’t.

Of course, when I’m working someone watches him, but it’s my baby and me.

It’s not easy at times, but my life has changed.

Obviously my baby comes first.”

She even ensures that her rehearsal time is now half as long as it used to be, pre-Eissa.

“Like Mama like son,” she wrote.
