After canceling her tour earlier this year, it appears Janet Jackson is now expecting her first child.

Entertainment Tonight reported Wednesday the singer, who turns 50 on May 16, is pregnant, citing a source close to Jackson.

“My husband and I are planning our family," Jackson said in a message to fans last month. "So I’m going to have to delay the tour ... 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."

Jackson has been married to businessman Wissam Al Mana since 2012.
