Tito Jackson confirms Janet Jackson is pregnant, keeping sex of baby a surprise

Tito Jackson put rumors about his sister’s pregnancy to rest on Andy Cohen Live, confirming that pop star Janet Jackson is carrying her own baby.

“She’s doing very well. She’s taking it easy,” said Tito, 62, on Monday. “As you know, she is off tour, protecting her health.”

Janet, 50, canceled concerts in May because she’s expecting her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana. Speaking to Cohen, Tito said he doesn’t know her due date but clarified she is not using a surrogate.

“I know she’s hoping for a healthy baby,” he said. “She doesn’t know whether she’s going to have a boy or girl, but she just wants a healthy baby.”

Last month, brother Jermaine Jackson told PEOPLE he hopes Janet brings a daughter into the iconic music brood, joking, “I hope she’s having a girl. We need more girls in the family. There are too many boys.”
