ET exclusively confirmed that Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child. Janet Jackson who will be 50 on May 16th, announced last month that she will be postponing her tour to start a family with husband Wissam Al Mana.
She said:
“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change,” Jackson explained in a video posted to Twitter on April 6. “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. Please, if you could try and understand that it’s important that I do this now,” Jackson asked of her fans. “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.”
At first there were rumours that she was going to use a surrogate but ET confirmed that she is indeed pregnant with her first child.
Jackson secretly wed Al Mana, 41, in 2012, but didn’t confirm the news until early 2013. This is the singer’s third marriage.
When ET correspondent Cojo gushed that she would “the greatest mother in the world,” Jackson responded, “Well, I hope so. People say that, but I hope so.”
Congratulations to her and her Husband.
