Janet Jackson announced last month that she would postpone her Unbreakable World Tour to start a family with her husband Wissam Al Mana.

ET reports Wednesday that Janet, who will turn 50 on May 16, is pregnant with her first child.

Jackson and Al Mana married privately in 2012.

Her recent announcement comes after years of speculation about whether or not the entertainer will have children for years.



“It’s been a long journey, and you guys have been there each and every step of the way," she told fans during her postponement announcement. "And I really do appreciate that. Thank you so much,” she concluded.

Congratulations to Ms. Jackson.

Correction: A previous version of this article mistakenly said Ms. Jackson will turn 40 on May 16. She will turn 50.
