Janet Jackson & Jermaine Dupri were spotted holding hands while leaving LaGuardia airpart after touching down in NYC earlier today. Rumors of their demise have obviously been greatly exaggerated in that the couple has still been boo’d up all over the globe. A source explained Jermaine’s absence from Janet’s side during Michael Jackson’s funeral as him wanting to give her some space to grieve, ?They never really broke up. Jermaine wanted to give her some space when Michael died.?

The rumor mill with these two is usually one extreme or the other. They’re either broken up or secretly married. In addressing the marriage rumors, Jermaine told press, “They’ve been saying that for years and you don’t see a ring on my finger. I guess it just sounds good to have that rumor this time of the year or something.”
