Janet Jackson and Maxwell have ignited speculation about a possible romance after being spotted walking hand-in-hand into a West End theater in London.
The pair attended the 1,500th performance of Cabaret at the Playhouse Theatre on July 7, appearing close and coordinated in their stylish attire.
Jackson, 59, wore an elegant white suit, while Maxwell, 52, opted for a sharp pinstripe ensemble—prompting further buzz about their possible connection. The two were all smiles as they entered the venue, with paparazzi capturing the moment that quickly went viral across social media and celebrity news outlets.

According to Page Six, the appearance was “PDA-packed” and significant given Jackson’s historically private approach to her personal life. She has remained largely out of the dating spotlight since her divorce from businessman Wissam Al Mana in 2017. Maxwell, known for R&B hits such as “Ascension” and “Fortunate,” has also kept his romantic life low-key, with past relationships rarely confirmed publicly.
As of now, representatives for Jackson and Maxwell have not commented on the rumors.
