Janet Jackson gives birth to a baby boy

Janet Jackson has given birth to her first child at age 50 - a baby boy named Eissa. The American singer and her Qatari businessman husband Wissam Al Mana "welcomed their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world" on Tuesday, a representative told US publication People.


The pop superstar "had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably", said a statement by a representative. "Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world," added the statement.

 Jackson, younger sister of late king of pop Michael Jackson, and Al Mana, a Qatari business magnate whose company sells luxury fashion brands throughout Gulf Arab kingdoms, were married in 2012.

In April, the star announced that she was delaying her Unbreakable tour because she and her husband were "planning our family". The singer posted a video on her Twitter account to announce the news.

She did not say that she was pregnant but said there had been a "sudden change" to the second leg of her tour - which started in August 2015.

She continued: "Please, if you could 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."

CONGRATS JANET!!!
