The notoriously private Janet Jackson has taken to Twitter to post an update on her pregnancy.
The 50-year old singer confirmed her pregnancy in mid-October to People,describing the future baby as a "blessing."
Since even before the announcement, her social media platforms have been completely silent leading to widespread speculation on everything from the due date to the baby's gender.

Jackson gave a small shout out to her fans on Twitter saying she understood she'd been quiet for a while but she was "still listening."
