Janet Jackson Pregnant at 50

by VOA News

   Pop star Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child, at age 50.

   Jackson went public with her baby news to celebrity magazine People.

   "We thank God for our blessing," she said.

   Jackson, who is married to Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana, stirred
   speculation that something was up when she cancelled her tour, citing
   personal reasons.

   "I thought it was important that you be the first to know," she said in
   a Twitter video at the time. "My husband and I are planning our family,
   so I'm going to have to delay the tour," she was quoted as saying in
   April.

   Janet Jackson takes the stage to accept the Ultimate Icon Award during
   the 2015 BET Awards in Los Angeles, California, June 28, 2015.

   She hasn't been seen much since, but she was recently spotted shopping
   for baby clothes by staff at Hollywood industry program
   [1]Entertainment Tonight.
