Janet Jackson has confirmed she is pregnant with her first child at the age of 50.

The star showed off her baby bump in a white dress in a photo for People magazine.

She said: "We thank God for our blessing."

In April, Jackson said she was**postponing her Unbreakable World Tour** the following month to focus on "planning" a family with husband Wissam Al Mana.

She has kept a low profile since but was recently spotted shopping for baby gear at a London furniture store.
