Music icon Janet Jackson might have a new man—and the internet is eating it up. Over the weekend, cameras caught Janet, 59, stepping out with 52-year-old singer Maxwell in London—and they looked pretty cozy.

Janet and Maxwell were strolling hand in hand.

Do Janet Jackson & Maxwell Go Together Real Bad?

The pair was on their way to the 1,500th performance of Cabaret at the famed Kit Kat Club, and while they haven’t confirmed anything yet, the PDA was giving “soft launch.” And we are here for it.

Ms. Jackson (if you’re nasty) looked flawless alongside Maxwell. She donned a white Stella McCartney suit tailored to perfection. The suit featured high-waisted trousers with a clean, elongated silhouette, a crisp white collared shirt, and a matching blazer.

She styled her hair in a tight braided bun, highlighting her signature bold cheekbones. And, to that end, her makeup was glowing.

The “That’s the Way Love Goes” singer accessorized her look with silver statement hoops and subtle rings.

Next to her, Maxwell looked equally as iconic in a classic pinstripe suit and orange-tinted shades. The “Ascension” singer kept it cool, coordinated, and quietly confident.

Fans Are Ready—Are Janet Jackson & Maxwell Music’s Next Iconic Couple To Watch?

Janet, who has been married three times before, opened up in previous interviews about breaking cycles of coercive control in her past relationships. “I pray to God that I might have different lenses on these eyes than I did before,” she told The Guardian.

And Maxwell? He’s always kept a low profile when it comes to dating, but if this is a real connection, fans are beyond ready to root for it.

If this is just friendship, we love it. If this is romance, we love it even more. Either way, seeing two legends come together—stylishly and soulfully—is giving everything it needs to give.

Despite their recent outing, where they were spotted hand-in-hand, Janet Jackson and Maxwell are reportedly not dating.

The musicians were the talk of social media when they were seen holding hands and looking every bit of a couple! But, according to reports from TMZ, sources with direct knowledge insist Jackson and Maxwell have nothing going on romantically.

The pair have been good friends for years and years, and, according to insiders, that is still where their relationship stands today.

Speculation about Janet and Maxwell possibly being a couple started to skyrocket after they arrived hand-in-hand at the 1,500th performance of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club on Monday evening in London. The “That’s the Way Love Goes” singer was flashing a big smile as she led Maxwell into the performance, and the friends looked closer than normal during this particular outing.

Jackson has been divorced since 2017, and in the years since, she’s kept her love life on the down low. Maxwell isn’t publicly dating anyone, either, but unfortunately for hopeful fans, that doesn’t mean anything is going on between these two.

These rumors come nearly a decade after Jackson divorced her ex-husband Wissam Al Mana after five years of marriage. Together, the two share son, Eissa, 8.

“[Being a mother is] the most beautiful thing. I’m so thankful God allowed me to have this experience, this journey in my life,” she told the BBC in July 2024. “And I love every single minute of it.”

In the same interview, Janet joked about her love life, asking, “How many times have I been married now? Three I think.” Prior to Al Mana, she was previously married to René Elizondo Jr. and James DeBarge.

In another interview with The Guardian a few months later, Jackson revealed she was single, but said she feels like she has broken free of control in her relationships.

“I’m single, so I pray to God that I might have different lenses on these eyes than I did before,” she said. “I know that if someone were to come along…even if I didn’t recognize it, I guarantee you my friends would shake the shit out of me and say, ‘What are you doing?!’ But I think I’m seeing it through different lenses now. I think I am breaking that pattern.”
