Mo’Nique is a famous comedian who can proudly say she worked hard for all she has. Everyone loves her, but the first child she gave birth to, Shalon Jackson, is unimpressed by her.

  • Mo’Nique’s Open Relationship 

The pair have an estranged relationship that has lasted into his adulthood and may last forever if he never forgives her. Keep reading to find out what caused their fallout, as well as some details about the private man he has become. 

Who Is Mo’Nique’s Son? 

Mo’Nique is the proud mother of four boys, including Shalon Jackson. Shalon is the first child she ever had. However, there needs to be more clarity on who his father is. 

Some sources have claimed she had Shalon while she was with her second husband, Mark Jackson, but conflicting reports claim she had him with her first hubby, Shalon Watkins. 

Rumors that Watkins is Shalon’s father stem from the fact that he was once married to Mo’Nique in the 80s before she found fame. How credible that is remains to be seen, but as far as Shalon is concerned, his father will always be Mark Jackson, whose surname he carries. 

What Happened Between Mo’Nique and Shalon Jackson? 

The talented comedian has made no secret that she and Shalon are not on the best terms. And she knows exactly why. 

According to Mo’Nique, Shalon still resents her for choosing her career over being a good mother. It is not something she denies. On “The David Banner” podcast, Mo’Nique talked about her estranged relationship with her son Shalon.

In the interview, Mo’Nique said, “There was a time that when he was a little boy, I wasn’t interested in being a mother. And I wasn’t interested in being a wife. I was interested in taking pictures and red carpets, and signing autographs, and traveling the world, so I didn’t put the focus in.”

She has come a long way since then and has hit it big. However, she is still paying the price. Mo’Nique also said: “And now that I’m 52 and he’ll be 30, well, I pay for that. There’s a price you have to pay for that.” 

Back then, she believed it was okay since she provided him with all he needed. However, now she realizes how much her mindset costs their mother-son bond. Mo’Nique has attempted to apologize and is hoping to make things right with Shalon eventually, but at this time, the pair are still estranged. 

How Old Is Shalon Jackson? 

Shalon Jackson is believed to have been born sometime in 1990. In 2022, he was 32 years old, so he’ll be 33 in 2023. 

Shalon Jackson Siblings

He has three siblings in total. Before Mark Jackson and his mom split up, they adopted a son named Mark Jackson Jr. The beautiful comedian became a mother again with her third husband, Sidney Hicks. They welcomed twins, Jonathan Hicks and David Hicks, in October 2005. 

The twins have been kept out of the spotlight for the most part, so there is little information on them. However, they have been seen with Mo’Nique at some public events over the years.

Shalon Jackson’s Personal Life 

His mom may thrive in the spotlight, but Shalon Jackson has always preferred privacy. He occasionally attended public events with her as a child. However, since their fallout, they have not been pictured together, and he has become ultra-private. 

Details about his personal life, like who he is with or if he has a career he enjoys, have been kept secret, hidden from the public’s prying eyes. The only reason Shalon still makes headlines these days is because of his mother, Mo’Nique, whose success has only continued to grow. 

Given that what she had to sacrifice to have all that fame was time with family, it is unsurprising that he has been having difficulty accepting her apologies. 

Mo’Nique’s Open Relationship 

Shalon Jackson’s mother is well known for her candidness and outspoken personality. She was not shy about revealing that she was in an open relationship with her current husband, Sidney Hicks.

Mo’Nique believed that one secret to how long their marriage had lasted was because of their open relationship. However, this year, Mo’Nique has come out to confess that she has had to rethink her stance concerning an open relationship. 

She said: “Life began to happen. I began to see a strength I had never seen before. He loved me at my worst. I didn’t want to sacrifice that just for a lay. So I grew out of that.” 

Mo’Nique and Sidney Hicks have been married since 2006 and are still going strong even now that they are no longer in an open relationship.
