Pop star Janet Jackson officially confirmed she is welcoming the very first addition to their family at the age of 50.

"We thank God for our blessing," the youngest child of the Jackson musical dynasty told the People Magazine on Wednesday, while showing off a photo of her growing baby bump for the US publication.

Rumors about her pregnancy first surfaced in April after the star postponed her Unbreakable world tour, telling her fans that she and her husband Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana were "planning our family."

At the time, although she did not directly admit her pregnancy, Jackson posted a video on her Twitter to announce that "there actually has been a sudden change."

"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" she said.

"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 you. I will continue the tour as soon as possibly can."

A month after, Jackson teased her fans with a video of her third single off of Unbreakable, a song entitled Dammn Baby, which many took as another hint that a baby is on the way, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Meanwhile, the star kept her profile low since the announcement but was recently spotted by Entertainment Tonight shopping for baby essentials in London.

The People Magazine cited insiders close to the Jackson family saying: "She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well. She actually feels very good about everything."
