Entertainment Tonight has reported that Janet is pregnant.
Whilst they didn’t go into detail, they say that sources have confirmed that Janet’s plans to start a family look on track as she’s now set to become a mother for the first time.
Janet previously announced she would be putting the Unbreakable tour on hold in order to have a child with her husband Wissam Al Mana.
Janet turns 50 on May 16th.
Janet has announced she’s pausing her Unbreakable world tour to start a family.
“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change,” she said on Twitter in a video she posted this morning.
She continued: “My husband and I are planning our family. So I’m gonna have to delay the tour.
“Please, if you can, try and understand that it’s important that I do this now.
“I have to rest up, doctor’s orders, but I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can.”

Janet has tweeted that she plans to reschedule her European tour as soon as she can.
Whilst it’s not yet known why Janet was forced to postpone the dates, Janet has returned to Los Angeles in the meantime.
Fans who have previously purchased tickets will likely be expected to purchase them again.
You're missing me, I'm missing you… I'll be rescheduling our Unbreakable shows in Europe as soon as I can. Xoxo

Janet arrived in Los Angeles on Wednesday night having not been seen since it was announced she would be cancelling her European tour. Janet was accompanied by her husband Wissam Al Mana.
No official announcement has come from Janet or her team, but it’s believed by Janet Love that the decision to cancel was taken by LiveNation.
Janet had previously been rehearsing in London’s Covent Garden at Pineapple Dance Studios whilst staying in the British capital.
The below video is shot by paparazzi and contains them asking Janet questions about her health and the cancellation.

Looking drained and followed by her husband, singer Janet Jackson landed in Los Angeles a few hours ago and was spotted leaving the LAX Airport.We haven't yet heard from her team about the sudden postponement of her concerts in Europe, but sources said LIVE NATION decided unilaterally! According to new rumors, LN pulled the plug without Janet or her team's consent.The Dubai World Cup concert is not produced by Live Nation UK, therefore it is still scheduled for March 26.

Janet has “postponed” her UK tour along with dates in other European cities, according to an email received by fans from ticket company Ticketmaster.
The email claims “scheduling difficulties” as the reason for the announcement.
Janet has been spotted rehearsing for the tour in London for the past few weeks with secret rehearsals taking place at Pineapple Dance Studios in Covent Garden.
Fans in Berlin and Dusseldorf have also received cancellation emails and notifications they will be refunded for their tickets.
Janet Love was set to be front row for Birmingham and London.
Fans also received a voicemail from Ticketmaster confirming the cancellation.
Janet has posted a video this morning from London ahead of performing in the city in just over a month.
Janet, who is visiting the country with her husband Wissam Al-Mana, said she was looking forward to bringing her tour to Europe.

Janet has released “The Great Forever” to radio stations in the UK ahead of the resumption of the Unbreakable World Tour in Birmingham on March 30th.
The song, which has been played several times on BBC Radio 2, is taken from Janet’s Unbreakable album.
Janet was forced to postpone her most recent set of US dates to undergo surgery but is set to resume the tour in the UK with a string of dates that includes Birmingham, London, Manchester and Glasgow before continuing across Europe. She will then return to the United States to play her rescheduled dates.
Janet Love will be at both the Birmingham and London shows and will be tweeting throughout the night.
Janet has tonight announced that she will be postponing the upcoming leg of the Unbreakable Tour having found out she needs surgery.
Whilst not elaborating on the type of surgery, Janet has said that all dates will be rescheduled to the spring.
It is not yet known what will happen to the European leg of the tour.
It goes without saying that all her fans are praying for Janet during this difficult time.
“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. Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your tickets. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced. Please pray for me, my family and our entire company during this difficult time. There will be no further comment. I love you all so much and am ever grateful for your understanding and your love. Gon’ b alright.”

And of course we think the one of Darren and his friends Sam and Sham filmed in a club a while ago (although not strictly Dubsmash) stands a good chance.
