Janet Jackson welcomes her first child at 50
Janet Jackson has given birth to his first baby aged 50 with husband Wissam Al Mana . The couple welcomed their son into the world this week to celebrate the New Year in style - and the singer isn't alone when it comes to starting a family a little later in life.
Her representative told People magazine in a statement: "Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana
are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world.
Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably."
And here's a look at more mums who have welcomed a family later in life...
Geri Horner, 44
Geri is over the moon (Photo: Rex) It was something Spice Girl Geri really, really wanted but could hardly have imagined would ever really, really happen.
The chances that Ginger Spice would get pregnant at 44 was remote – some believe the odds are less than 5%.
But the girlband were full of surprises and, clearly, Geri, married to Formula One boss Christian Horner, 42, still is.
Mum to 10-year-old Bluebell, Geri hinted she had conceived naturally when she posted online a drawing and the words “God bless Mother Nature #mamaspice”.

over but Kingston, her eldest, wanted another sibling. Four weeks later
Gwen was pregnant and gave birth to her third child, Apollo, with her
now ex Gavin Rossdale in 2014 at the age of 44. The singer, now 47,
joked: “He has a direct link to God.”

like her heroine, played by Renee Zellweger, inset, Helen became a mum
in her 40s.
Helen, had her son Dashiell at 43 but was 48 when she
gave birth to daughter Romy with her former partner, the American
comedy writer Kevin Curran.
She said of becoming a mum: “I wish
I’d known that the parent equipment would be more trouble than the baby.
You’ve got the stroller, the car seat, the bottle warmer, the bottle
steriliser, the nappy changing table, the electronic mobile that goes on
top of the nappy changing table…
“Then when you actually get the
baby you think I didn’t really need all these things! They come home
from hospital and all you want is a couple of nappies and a cushion.”
(Photo: London features) The supermodel, now 61, had Alexandria, her first child
with David Bowie, at 45. Fellow model Christie Brinkley let Iman hold
her baby at a fashion shoot.
Iman said: “So, I say it took two blondes to get me pregnant: Christie and David. It is a miracle.”
Kelly Preston, 48
(Photo: Getty) Actor John Travolta’s wife had her third child, Benjamin,
six years ago at the age of 48. She admitted: “When I found out I was
pregnant, I was floored. I’d snuck out of bed and then came back and
woke Johnny up in bed. We both started crying. It was wonderful.”
Kelly, now 53, added: “It’s pretty amazing having a child at this age.”
(Photo: FilmMagic) It seems no one was more surprised than the Hollywood star
when she became a mum for the second time, aged 47, with son Maceo in
2013. She said: “They call it a geriatric pregnancy. I was, on my way,
kinda premenopausal so to have this happen was a shock.” Halle was 41
when she had daughter Nahla.
(Photo: Getty) The Thelma and Louise star was 48 when she welcomed twin
boys Kian and Kaiis into the word in 2004, two years after giving birth
to daughter Alizeh at the age of 46.
Speaking about having three close together, the 60 year old said: “It’s been really wonderful, but it was overwhelming.”
(Photo: PA) The former PM’s wife was 45 when she had Leo, her fourth
child. She revealed in her autobiography her surprise baby was conceived
during a trip to Balmoral. Cherie, now 62, said: “It is so long since
we had our other three children that I had forgotten quite what an
ordeal those last few hours of labour can be.”
(Photo: FilmMagic) The former Olympic swimmer went through four years of
painful IVF and two miscarriages before giving birth to her third child
Finley at the age of 44 in 2007. Sharron, now 53, said: “Being an older
mum has its advantages. Whether you are having your first, second or
third, you know what you want.”

The
51-year-old is mum to sons Joss, 24, Al, 22, with first husband Neale
Hunt and has a son Seth, 10, and daughter Evie, six, with current
