Janet Jackson’s son kisses the screen when his mom’s on television.
The ‘Control’ hitmaker’s 18-month-old child Eissa – whom she has with ex-husband Wissam Al Mana – has already got to know his famous parent’s work as he is often on the road with the 52-year-old star, and, as a result, he always reacts in the cute way when he spots Janet on the box.
Speaking to Jamie Theakston and Emma Bunton on Heart London Breakfast, she said: "Yeah. He’s seen me, he tours with me. He’s seen me on Television, trying to kiss the TV – pointing saying ‘Mama.’"
Asked how she is finding being a mother, she said: "I love it. It’s more. I love it. Every minute of it – motherhood. It’s beautiful."
Not only is the little tot aware of his mother’s vocation, but he’s even following in the famous Jackson family’s footsteps as he’s learnt how to play a melody on the piano and is already a keen drummer.
Asked if she would mind the youngster having a career in music, Janet – who is the younger sister of the late King of Pop Michael Jackson – said: "Only if he wants to be. But it’s not an easy life. So it’s truly up to him. If he has a passion for it. He loves piano. He loves drums. He loves music."
A shocked Jamie asked, "He’s not playing the piano before the age of two surely?", to which she replied, "Yeah."
She then added: "He doesn’t bang on it. You know most kids would bang on it? He actually … it’s really interesting cos’ he’ll play a melody."
"He’ll play something and he’ll go to another note, two notes. And then he’ll go back to the first two notes. And it’s a rhythm to it. It honestly blew my mind."
Tune into Heart London Breakfast with Jamie and Emma, weekdays from 6am – 9am.
