Early last month Janet Jackson announced the postponement of her ‘Unbreakable World Tour,’ revealing to fans that she and husband Wissam Al Mana were starting a family.
At the time, many received the news warmly – particularly given how private the star usually is.
However, the ambiguity of her carefully chosen wording left some scratching their heads; was Jackson pregnant or planning to be?
The answer, if new reports are to be believed, suggest the iconic singer is indeed with child.
Entertainment Tonight have gone to press touting the following:
Just days before Mother’s Day, a source confirms to ET that Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child.
The show’s producer Brad Bessey also took to Twitter to congratulation the ‘BURNITUP!’ belter:
.@JanetJackson congratulations on your pregnancy! I know how much you’ve wanted this. @etnow

ET being the first to tout the news is significant because they (likely by no coincidence) are set to air a behind the scenes look at Jackson’s ‘Dammn Baby’ music video tonight.
Could the hotly anticipated clip bring about a big reveal? Who knows.
If indeed Janet is with child, That Grape Juice extends our sincerest congratulations.

congrats…she’s probably pretty far along too if she’s made at announcement about it
I’m really happy to read this! I hope this new gift from God will help bring some healing after loosing Michael.
Yess Janet, I will continue to pray for you and the family. God bless and take care ?
When will halitosisonce ??????
NEVER
When will you get a life?
Yay, Janet! A beautiful baby on the way!! I’m so proud. MJ would’ve been moon-walking on the ceiling.
Hopefully it’s not another Blu Ivy lookalike with Jackson 5 nostrils ( Because it’ll actually be a Jackson) No offence @ Tyler
But why at this age? it will probably end up like her last album and tour
Just as everyone thought it was a ttanny or barren. Slay Tranet
Lmao see that’s why h*** like u stay broke, stay sacking d*** for free you will never in this life time or in your next life time be on Janet’s level infact I hope in your next life time you come back as a dog’s ass hole
Huh? Lol
Ima pray for you…
even if God doesn’t listen *burns sage and shakes prayer beads*
Congrats ms Jackson.
That man is way too cute for her *Waits for LB to change gravatar*
Now I forgive u Queen!!! It amazes me that at almost 50 years old she is still the Queen of choreo. Now drop the new video please to give me life yes!!!!
OMG 50?

The baby might have a Jackson second name just to live off it Like mother like Son/Daughter or both just like …. like ….

Nice of you. By the way I’m loving Bey’s creative direction with Lemonade. It’s pretty bomb.

Welcome. Exactly! Our fave love and support each other and are both Queens in their own right.

I’ll wait for her confirmation, but if this is true, fantastic news!!
If Halle and Mariah can at the ages they got pregnant, then why can’t the Queen.
Janet and wissam can provide a lush life for a child.
Haters mad because they were raised on welfare and WIC.
Be happy Queen, get back to us when it’s right for your family.

Awwwww congrats Muss Janet and I hope it’s twins too ?????????????????????????
Awwwww! Congratulations!
These trolls are tired, perhaps it’s time my s**** came back to show you how it’s done
Gurl get a LYFE.com. You’re not even worthy of a read!
Mother Jackson is probably saying about darn time, I’ve been waiting I’m no young cat anymore. Glade to hear Janet’s moving on to have a family, next generation should get a Janet so happy it wasn’t with JD he would just make her a baby mama.
not this troll being paid more dust than a slithering serpent
KIIII OOOOPS!
the coolest C-Squad members are Faf and FC/JC shout out to you guys too
Whaaaaaaat
Congrats Mrs.Jackson
Congrats

how cute would it be if she rubbed her belly in the ‘Damn baby’ music video?
Awwwww good for her she’s been waiting for a while. And to those who u use these to bash another woman or worse a child your are lost souls seek help
I love this woman! She’s in my prayers, I just want her to have a safe and healthy pregnancy! Janet’s given me so much life with her music/videos/performances… and now I want her to live her life and concentrate on giving life to her bundle of joy (because that’s what her heart desires). I’ll enjoy this ‘Dammmn Baby’ video (it’s actually one of my favorite songs from the album) and I’ll await her return, whenever she’s ready! Her family life is first priority now, we’re secondarily!
How is this a good thing? The poor child will be 10 and his mother will already be in her 60s. By the time he/she reaches adulthood she will be in her 70s…
Good for them for being pregnant
