Janet Jackson is pregnant with her first child, according to reports in the US.
The singer, who will turn 50 on May 16, put all tour plans on hold for the foreseeable future earlier this year in order to start a family.
She has not confirmed the reports, which first appeared on the show-business website Entertainment Tonight, that she is now pregnant.

The singer embarked on her year-long Unbreakable World Tour – her first in four years – last August, but missed shows due to medical reasons since October.
Jackson had to deny rumours that she had throat cancer after worrying fans with an update on Christmas Eve saying that she needed surgery.
A video posted on her Twitter account last month explained that she was "planning a family" with husband Wissam Al Mana, who she married secretly in 2012
"We're in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change. I thought it was important that you were the first to know: my husband and I are planning our family," she said.
"So I'm going to have to delay the tour. Please if you can 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 about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."
