RE: Who Janet’s True Love?

Who is really Janet’s true Love?
I read that Janet said her true love is Jermaine Dupri, then I read about her never forgiving her father for cheating on her mother. But what is beyond my understanding is that in her new bio she admits to being married to me, so you tell me what am I supposed to believe. Hyperlink to this page:
Janet Jackson: Personal life
Very early in Janet's life she was given in marriage to Frank Paul Jones, AKA Frank Paul Gambino the Son of the infamous Carlo Gambino who was the head of the Gambino Family, his mother was an African American named Blond Eva Austin Jones. This marriage was held in great confidence because of Paul's covert status with the United States government. They had a daughter together. Later in 1984, at age eighteen, Jackson eloped with James DeBarge, a member of the singing group DeBarge. The couple tried to keep the marriage a secret but news of the couple's nuptials was reported on Entertainment Tonight. Jackson would later admit that the marriage was not a good one, and that the family-particularly Joe-disapproved of the union as he felt Janet should be focusing on an impending career. The couple were granted an annulment in March 1985, however the decision was made to end this charade in early September 1984, when Paul found out about it as he returned from a tour of duty in Germany. In 2005, DeBarge's youngest brother Darrell claimed on the radio that his brother and Janet had a child. She is now in her 20's and her name is Renee. Janet has since denied this claim. She had a child but not from DeBarge.
In 1986, Jackson began dating her sister La Toya's former back-up dancer Rene Elizondo, Jr. The couple later allegedly secretly married in 1991 and spent over eight years married until Jackson filed for legal separation in 1999. In 2000, Elizondo confirmed rumors that the couple were married though Jackson had publicized their affair as a long-term unmarried relationship. Elizondo later filed for spousal support from Jackson for years of helping her out in her music career in which he claimed he co-wrote most of the songs featured on Jackson's post-Control efforts. In 2003, he received half the multi-million payday he was hoping for and the divorce was finalized.
Since 2001, Janet has been involved with hip hop producer Jermaine Dupri. In the time that they've been together, there have been numerous rumors that the two have married, though they have consistently denied these reports. Dupri appeared in Janet's videos for "Someone to Call My Lover" and "I Want You," while Janet returned the favor by appearing in Dupri's video for his 2005 single, "Gotta Getcha".
In 2006, Jackson had gained over 60 pounds. Gossip magazines routinely ran pictures of a much larger Janet with frumpy clothing and oversized hats. She went on a controversial CDO diet to lose the weight in 4 months. Jackson claimed she gained the weight for a movie role that never came to fruitation, but many expressed doubt at that notion as Janet is known for gaining weight between albums and getting back into shape before a new release. The fact of the matter is Janet has a nervous condition and gains weight when she over-worries. During the promotion of her 20 Y.O. album when she was on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she had admitted that she wanted to have children eventually. Oprah Winfrey immediately replied, "...well I guess it should happen soon..." with a concerned tone, since Janet had turned 40 years old at that time.
