Janet Jackson: Pregnant at 49

Janet Jackson is reportedly pregnant with her first child.

The 49-year-old singer - who will turn 50 on May 16 - is expecting her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana, according to Entertainment Tonight.

The report of Janet's pregnancy comes just one month after she postponed her world tour because she is "planning a family".

She said on her website: "Hey you guys...Happy Holidays to each and every one of you! I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon.

"It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the 'Unbreakable Tour' until the spring.

"Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time...There will be no further comment."
