A source has confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child – just two weeks shy of her 50th birthday! The baby news comes just after Jackson announced that she will be postponing her tour to start a family with her husband, Wissam Al Mana.

“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change,” Jackson explained in a video she posted to Twitter back in April. “I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour.”
Jackson asked her fans for their understanding as “it’s important that [she does] this now.” She said, “I have to rest up, doctor’s orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.”
Jackson secretly married Al Mana in 2012, but did not confirm the news until 2013. This is the singer’s third marriage.
Congratulations to Janet and Wissam!
