Janet Jackson’s personal life has always piqued the public’s interest. Not only because of the celebrity family, but also because the singer herself chose not to comment on the countless stories swirling about her concerts.
It is reported that the vocalist married guitarist James DeBarge in 1984.
However, she divorced him in 1985.
Following that, rumors spread that a kid was born in marriage, which Janet sought to conceal due to her age (she was just over 18 at the time).
However, in a new Lifetime documentary and A&E special, Jackson eventually chose to cross the i’s.
She described the origins of the stories regarding her pregnancy and childbirth.
“I gained weight at the time because I was on birth control.” “However, many people misinterpreted it as a sign that I was expecting a child,” the artist explained.
She denied having given birth to a child and giving him over to her sister Rebbie or brother Jackie.
“These rumors have been going about for a long time. I, for example, do not allow the youngster to see his father. But it has nothing to do with me. “I would never, ever interfere with a child’s communication with his father,” Janet stated emphatically.
The musician also stated that during her many years on stage, she heard numerous falsehoods about herself that had nothing to do with reality.
It was even speculated that her niece Stevanna was actually her daughter due to their striking resemblance.
Remember that Janet has only one child, Issa, who was born in January 2017 to businessman Wissam Al Mana.
