Entertainment Tonight and US Weekly are reporting that pop star Janet Jackson is pregnant for the first time – two weeks shy of her 50th birthday. Sources close to the singer allegedly confirmed her condition, but the singer’s camp has not yet confirmed it.
In early April, Jackson announced in a clip on her Twitter account that there was a “sudden change” to the second leg of her tour, which started in August 2015.
“We’re in the second leg of the tour, and there actually has been a sudden change,” a smiling Jackson said. “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 can, try to understand that it’s important that I do this now. I have to rest up; doctor’s orders. But I have not forgotten about you.”
Jackson married Wissam Al Mana in 2012. It is her third marriage. She married singer James DeBarge in 1984, when she was 18. That marriage lasted three months. In 1991, she married Rene Elizondo Jr. They separated in 1999.
Jackson turns 50 on May 16.
On Dec. 24, Jackson announced she was postponing her Unbreakable tour until the spring to have an unspecified surgical procedure. She had next been scheduled to perform in early January in Denver.
