For once in her life, Janet Jackson is not the one in ‘Control’.
Doctors have ordered the 50-year-old pregnant pop star to remain in bed, according to multiple reports.
A source told E! News that Janet is now under “doctor’s orders to rest” until her baby arrives.
“She is doing okay and resting until she is due for her baby,” the source told E!, explaining that the order came after Janet experienced some unknown pregnancy complications.
But no one needs to worry. “As of now, doctors say she is okay,” the source added.
Us Weekly is also reporting that Janet — whose happy baby news was confirmed in May — is “on bed rest” per doctors’ orders, said an insider.
“She’s where all of her doctors are,” the insider added. “But she had taken her mother out to lunch a few weeks ago.”
This will be Janet’s first child with husband Wissam Al Mana, 41, whom she secretly married in 2012.
Speculation that Janet was expecting first emerged in April when she cancelled the rest of her “Unbreakable” world tour.
“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change. I thought it was important that you would be the first to know,” she said in a Facebook video post. “My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour.”
In May, a Jackson relative told Page Six that Janet’s mom, Katherine Jackson, pressured Janet to try to start a family with her husband despite her advanced maternal age.
“(Katherine) said to Janet, ‘You cannot afford to wait too much longer. I was already a grandma at your age,'” the relative explained.
Katherine, 86, is said to be “thrilled” over Janet’s pregnancy and the fact that this baby will make her a grandmother for the 28th time.
“It would mean that all of her children have given her grandchildren,” the relative added. “She hopes that she can be in the room when Janet gives birth.”
