Janet Jackson and R&B singer Maxwell are making news again, after they were spotted holding hands while leaving a restaurant recently in London. Janet and Maxwell were seen arriving together at the Playhouse Theatre in London on Sunday night, July 7, for the 1,500th performances of Cabaret. Their matching garments and hand-holding started speculation around whether they are dating.
Neither Jackson nor Maxwell addressed the particulars of their relationship, but the photos taken of them outside the venue display the two artists pathing closely and smiling as they arrived. Janet was wearing an all-white attractive outfit while Maxwell was donned in a pinstriped suit; both relaxed, not shy, in front of the cameras which raises the question of whether there is or has been any more than friendship.
So, this extremely rare public appearance turned into a fie-for-all with entertainment news and fans on social media places kicking off on this by commenting on the fact that the two music legends have never been previously associated romantically. This was surprising to many people because both of those stars generally like to keep their personal lives private, and they had never been associated together in social aspects.
Janet and Maxwell Spotted Together Enjoying The Night
Janet Jackson, 59, and Maxwell, 52, are both long-time artists in the music business. Jackson, the grammy-winning pop and R&B music icon, has been out of the public eye in recent years, particularly after she separated from businessman Wissam Al Mana in 2017. She has a son, Eissa, with Al Mana and has stated in interviews that she chose not to do any public projects so she could work on her own personal development and emotional well-being.
Maxwell, who is best known for his smooth R&B ballads and soulful performances, has been a very private person when it comes to his personal life throughout his career. Each time he has been seen with celebrity, whether it was on the red carpet or out on a date, he has never formally announced any of his collaborations or relationships.
Their recent outing at Cabaret has fans questioning if something new is blossoming. They could just be friend for so many years together, out together enjoying a night out, but the body language in the photos taken during the outing seemed to spark a frenzy of speculation online.
In addition to Jackson and Maxwell later exiting the venue together, Jackson and Maxwell were reportedly seen arriving hand in hand, their joint appearance coinciding with the special performance of a classic stage musical.
What it Could Mean and What Happens Now
To date, there has been no clear, official statement from either artist or their representatives denying any romantic relationship. Until then we can expect fans and the media to stay on high alert for further sightings or official comments.
For the time being, we have images of Jackson and Maxwell out and about publicly enjoying one another’s company - which is enough for everybody's imagination. The jury is out on whether this was a one-off excursion, or the beginning of something more.
The most amazing thing about the night is the happiness and comfort they seemed to share, especially since both artists have spent so much of their careers keeping their private lives private, that this is a unique moment to see a personal side of the two of them.
If either of the artists gain further attention, they will surely grab headlines. Until then, fans are left to ponder whether the night at theater was simply a friendly outing, or perhaps it was signifier to an emerging relationship.
