Janet Jackson has confirmed she is expecting her first baby with husband Wissam Al Mana at the age of 50.

The singer confirmed the news to People magazine who also released a photo showing Janet sporting her baby bump. In the photo the 'Together Again' singer is wearing a white, fitted, ribbed dress and waterfall cardigan and looks glowing.

In her interview with People she said, "we thank God for our blessing."

The news comes months after she postponed her Unbreakable tour under doctor's advice. At the time there was much speculation that she might be pregnant after she released a video to her fans saying, "my husband and I are planning our family" and there had been a "sudden change".

In recent months Janet has kept a low profile, however she had been spotted buying baby essentials in London by celebrity news TV show and website Entertainment Tonight.

Janet married her third husband Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana at a private ceremony in 2012.
