Janet Jackson, 50, is pregnant with first child
International pop star Janet Jackson is expecting her first child at the age of 50.
The actor-singer confirmed her pregnancy with People magazine as she showed off her growing baby bump.
“We thank God for our blessing,” said Jackson, who married her third husband, 41-year-old Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana, in February 2013.

In April, Jackson decided to postpone her “Unbreakable” World Tour to focus on planning her family with Al Mana.
“We are on the second leg of the tour and there has actually been a sudden change,” Jackson told her fans in a video message posted on social media.
“I thought that it was important that you should be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family so I am going to have to delay the tour. Please if you could try to understand that it is important that I do this now. I have to rest up on doctors orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.”
“Thank you to all the fans for your undying love. Your loyalty means so much to me. I truly appreciate it. It’s been a long journey and you have been there every step of the way. Thank you so much. I will see you soon.”
Jackson released her 11th studio album “Ubreakable” on Oct. 2, 2015. Her “Unbreakable” World Tour began on Aug. 31, 2015 with 33 scheduled shows in North America and four in Asia. But the tour was abruptly ended on March 26 due to Jackson’s pregnancy.
