Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child–and the news comes just two weeks shy of her 50th birthday!

Sources confirmed with E! News, a very reliable outlet, that the pop star is expecting.

Last month, Jackson announced that she would be postponing her tour to start a family with husband Wissam Al Mana. “We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change,” she said. “I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour. Please, if you could try and understand that it’s important that I do this now,” Jackson asked of her fans. “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 said.

Jackson and Al Mana secretly wed in 2012, and didn’t confirm their union until 2013.
