Singer Janet Jackson has officially confirmed she is expecting her first child, at the age of 50. In an interview with People Magazine she said “we thank God for our blessing” and posed for a picture with her growing baby bump.
The singer is said to be “thrilled” with the impending arrival with a close source telling People: “She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well. She actually feels very good about everything.”
It was previously speculated the odds would be against her, with women’s health expert, Dr Sherry Ross, exclusively telling Hollywood Life that the chances of a 50-year-old getting pregnant is less than one percent.
“But let’s say she may have frozen her eggs 10 years ago when she was still in her 30’s, it’s possible this is her own genetics. Or the more likely option is that she may be using a donor egg,” said Ross.
