Janet Jackson has officially confirmed her pregnancy.
The 50-year-old singer announced six months ago she was postponing her tour to "have a family" with husband husband Wissam Al Mana and has subsequently been spotted with a growing baby bump, but has never commented about the news until now.
She told People magazine: "We thank God for our blessing."
It was previously revealed Janet had been suffering from morning sickness but was thrilled to be pregnant.
