Janet Jackson gave birth to her first child at the age of 50. Pop star Janet Jackson and her husband Wissam Al Mana welcomed their baby boy on Tuesday, 3rd January. The couple has named their son, Eissa Al Mana. Jackson’s publicist said that the singer was doing well and she has had a stress-free and healthy delivery.
Janet Jackson married Al Mana in 2012. Reuters reported that after finding out that she was pregnant, Janet Jackson had postponed her Unbreakable tour. Janet Jackson started flaunting her baby bump from October and did an exclusive photo shoot with People magazine.
Janet Jackson is a part of the famous Jackson family, and she has always been private about her life. She hadn’t even shared details about her pregnancy. The media didn’t have a clue about where she would deliver her baby. She hadn’t spoken up about her pregnancy until October when she confirmed the news.
This was Janet Jackson’s first child. She has previously married to James DeBarge for a year back in the 1980s and then to Rene Elizondo Jr., a dancer from 1991-2000.
Jackson had gone off social media during the duration of her pregnancy and came back in November to connect with her fans. She said that she is back and that she received all their love and prayers and was doing well. She thanked her fans for their love and support.
While the world is obsessing about Janet Jackson’s new baby boy, some fans are wondering whether she had previously had a daughter. Al Mana and Janet Jackson had informed that they were expecting their first baby in May 2015 and this gave rise to speculations about whether it was Jackson’s first baby.
Inside Edition first reported that Janet Jackson had a secret daughter and this rumor had supposedly been on for three decades now. According to speculation, Janet Jackson had a daughter with DeBarge.
Janet Jackson and DeBarge had eloped when she was only 18-years-old, and they were married only for a year when they got it annulled. Janet Jackson had always remained quiet about the issue, and the same was with James DeBarge.
When he was asked about his daughter with Janet Jackson back in 2000, he didn’t say anything. He didn’t deny the rumor and neither did he confirm it. He informed the media that he wouldn’t speak up about the issue and neither would he confirm if the rumor is true.
James DeBarge said that the world would know the truth only when Janet Jackson wants to speak up about it and only if she intends to talk about it. The very fact that DeBarge kept this clause, made the fans feel that there was more to the issue than they were letting the world know.
The rumor intensified when in one of the episodes of Growing Up Hip-Hop, James DeBarge’s daughter, Kristinia asked him if he and Janet Jackson had a daughter. She confesses about reading an article, which stated that James DeBarge had agreed to have a daughter with Janet Jackson and she wanted to confirm it.
All DeBarge could say in response was that Janet was pregnant when the two were still together, and he doesn’t know anything more about it. The information that shocked Kristinia. She realizes that she might have had a half-sister all this while and she had no clue about it.
