Janet Jackson Welcomed ‘Adorable’ Son at 50 & Mocked for Being ‘Too Old’ – Pics of Boy Who Is 6

Janet Jackson and her ex-husband, Wissam Al Mana, met in 2010 and started dating soon after. The two got engaged in 2012, and a year later, they tied the knot in a private wedding. Al Mana’s desire for privacy led to the two getting married secretly.

Speculations that Jackson was pregnant with her first child began circulating in April 2016 after she postponed her “Unbreakable World Tour.” She shared in a video on X that she and her husband were focusing on their family.

The singer reportedly said she and her husband were planning for their family, and because of that, she had to delay her tour. In October 2016, Jackson confirmed she was pregnant when she shared a baby bump picture with People, saying, “We thank God for our blessing.

Jackson remained relatively quiet about her pregnancy, but a source close to the family said she was excited to be expecting her first child. The singer’s older brother also spoke about his younger sister’s journey to motherhood:

“She’ll be a great mother because she is very tough, very strict.”

On January 3, 2017, Jackson’s representative confirmed that the singer and Al Mana had welcomed their first child, a son named Eissa Al Mana. The singer had a stress-free delivery and was resting comfortably.

Jackson put her focus on motherhood and stepped back from her music career for a while.

Jackson gave birth to her first child at 50, which didn’t sit well with many online users. One person said it was “selfish and irresponsible” for the singer to have a child in her 50s. “Yes it is too old for a baby,” a second person agreed. Others said as a mother, the singer was wrong to have a baby so late because “after 40,” a child is “more at risk.”

However, Jackson’s fans defended her. They said the comments were biased because no one bashed Mick Jagger when he had his eighth child at 73. A fan noted that Jackson got “her first child she has wanted for so long” and shouldn’t be slammed for doing so.

Fans were also amazed by how gorgeous Jackson’s son looked when she posted a picture of her and her son after they had just awakened from a nap. “That is so adorable❤,” a fan wrote. “Too cute,” commented another fan. Apart from calling Jackson and her son “Adorable 😍,” one fan also said, “omg mom I’m gonna cry so beautiful 😭😭😭.”

Jackson was so excited to be a mom; unfortunately, a few months after she gave birth, her marriage was hit hard. A source revealed that the singer and Al Mana were parting ways. Other sources claimed the breakup was amicable and that the two would continue co-parenting.

However, more sources revealed that Jackson and Al Mana were parting ways because her husband had become too controlling and uncompromising. He had been demanding that she tone down, cover her body more, reduce public appearances, and live according to strict Muslim customs.

Eventually, the singer had enough of all these and decided to leave Al Mana. After five years together, they broke up, and now Jackson is focused on being a mom to her son.

Jackson is a lover of music. When she was suffering from depression, she found music to be the best medicine she could ingest. She revealed that the first music her son ever responded to was from Bruno Mars.

During and after giving birth to Eissa, she felt comforted and relaxed with Brazilian jazz. Bruno was breaking out big when her son started crawling, which delighted Eissa and his mom.
