Superstar Janet Jackson is finally a mommy to a healthy baby boy at the age of 50.
The pop singer and her husband Wissam Al Mana welcomed their first child together on Tuesday, 3 January 2017, a representative of the couple confirmed.
“Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world,” said the representative as quoted by US Weekly.

Jackson married Qatari businessman Al Mana in 2012, and speculation about her pregnancy surfaced last April when she postponed her “Unbreakable” tour because she was planning to start a family.
“My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour,” the singer explained in a Facebook video message on 6 April.

“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,” she added.
Congrats to the couple on their first child!
