Singer Janet Jackson is reportedly pregnant with her first child with Qatari husband Wissam Al Mana.
A source told Entertainment Tonight that the singer, who turns 50 in a few weeks on May 16, is pregnant. She however, has not publicly confirmed the news.
Another source, reportedly close to Janet, told Radar Online that, "Janet is healthy and she and Wissam are looking forward to becoming parents."
The singer secretly married the businessman in 2012, and confirmed their union in 2013. This is her third marriage. 
She revealed the news of her marriage after dismissing reports that they were planning an "extravagant wedding".
"Last year we were married in a quiet, private and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children's charities."
A source told E! News that Janet is in her second trimester after working with a fertility specialist.
The singer who embarked on her year-long Unbreakable World Tour last August missed shows due to medical reasons since October
Last month, Janet announced that she was postponing her Unbreakable World Tour, her first in four years, to try and start a family with her husband. She informed her fans via a Twitter video.

The news followed two previous postponed dates.
On Christmas Eve, she announced a delay in her North American tour, saying that she needed an urgent operation, and gave no other clarification other than to deny rumors she had cancer.
She later called off a European tour and had been due to resume performances on May 14 in Las Vegas.
