Janet Jackson reportedly pregnant with first child

Janet Jackson is reportedly pregnant with her first child.

The news follows Jackson announcing the postponement of her Unbreakable world tour last month to plan a family. 

Jackson, who turns 50 in two weeks, and her husband Wissam Al Mana, 41, are now expecting their first child, according to reports.

In a video message to fans in April, Jackson said: “My husband and I are planning our family so I’m going to have to delay the tour. Please if you could try and understand that it’s important that I do this now, I have to rest up, doctor’s orders.”

The “All For You” singer previously halted her tour in December, announcing she would be postponing several performances to undergo a surgical procedure. No additional information was given and she was later forced to deny she had throat cancer amid specualtion over her reason for cancelling. 

The Independent has contacted a representative for Jackson.
