Janet Jackson is awaiting the birth of her first child, but insiders claim the pregnancy hasn’t been the most pleasant. Several news outlets have reported that the singer is facing a serious health crisis. Inside sources close to Janet have revealed she’s swelled to 250 pounds. She’s been placed on bed rest because she’s “at risk for serious complications.”
Claims That Her Age Is Affecting Her Pregnancy
According to OK! magazine, the middle-age pregnancy has taken a toll on the Damita Jo singer. “This pregnancy is doing a number on her,” said the insider. It has also been reported that Janet began struggling with her appearance a few months ago. Back in July, Janet Jackson began distancing herself from the public eye. The insider claims “she didn’t want anyone to see that she was already getting huge.”
The latest news follows Janet’s pregnancy announcement back in April. The singer revealed she’d be postponing her Unbreakable tour until 2017. Janet announced that she and her husband, Wissam Al Mana, were “growing their family.” The 50-year-old singer and the Qatari billionaire, 41, tied the knot in 2012 but didn’t confirm the marriage until a year later.
The Craziest Rumors About What’s Going On
The fact that Jackson has only been spotted out in public once since her baby announcement is sparking some rumors, and a lot of them are just ridiculous.
A radio station in Houston seems to be the source of a lot of the crazier rumors. The station posted an article to its website saying an insider close to Jackson had said she hasn’t been seen publicly because she’s on bed rest. That part actually seems possible, if not even probable, since Jackson is nearly 50, much older than most pregnant women, and may be facing complications due to her age — the source says she’s “at risk for serious complications.”
But the other inside scoop from this source is that Jackson is avoiding being seen in public because bed rest has made her balloon up to 250 pounds.
“This pregnancy is doing a number on her,” the alleged insider said. “She didn’t want anyone to see that she was already getting huge.”
That one is a little harder to believe.
Praying For A Healthy Baby
Regardless of the reason that Jackson is staying out of the spotlight, her brother, Tito Jackson, has dished to the press that no one in the family knows the gender of her baby; they’re all just hoping for a healthy newborn, he said.
Do you believe the rumors flying about Janet Jackson’s pregnancy?
Like their marriage, the couple has also kept a lid on the pregnancy. Janet Jackson has yet to reveal the gender of the baby or her due date. Her brother Tito Jackson has only said she is “hoping for a healthy baby.” Prayers to Janet Jackson and her husband.
