Janet Jackson and Maxwell had the rumor mill working overtime after stepping out hand in hand at the 1,500th performance of ‘Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club’ in London, but don’t let the cozy entrance fool you.
Details below…
Despite fans speculating that a romance might be blooming between the R&B icons, TMZ sources have confirmed there is no romantic tea to sip here, and the pair have been tight friends for years.
Watch the two in action:

Per the source, the sweet moment was simply two music legends enjoying a night out – nothing more, nothing less.
The Queen of Pop, who’s kept her love life under wraps since 2017 divorce, isn’t boo’d up with anyone. And Maxwell? He’s also flying solo.
So, while the streets might’ve hoped for an R&B power couple moment, this one is strictly platonic.
