【The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the String】

The The Lord of the G-Strings: The Femaleship of the StringJackson dynasty will soon have a new heir to its pop kingdom.

Janet Jackson, 50, confirmed to Peoplethat she's pregnant with her first child following months of speculation. "We thank God for our blessing," she told the magazine.

Jackson canceled her Unbreakable tour earlier this year to plan a family with her husband, Wissam Al Mana. She had previously postponed the tour for an undisclosed surgery, and fans worried that the singer, who was staging a long-overdue comeback, was suffering from throat cancer.

Jackson hasn't addressed any rumors about a potential pregnancy since announcing that she would be taking time off to focus on her family. A month later, she did drop a video for her song "Dammn Baby," which certainly was curious timing.

Congratulations to Jackson and her baby, whose name also ain't baby.
