Fans first speculated the singer’s pregnancy back in April last year when the 50-year-old announced she would be postponing her tour due to a 'sudden change'.
In a video posted to her Twitter followers, Janet said, "My husband and I are planning our family and there had been a sudden change".
The singer later confirmed the news back in October to People Magazine who also released a photo showing Janet sporting her baby bump.
Janet married her third husband Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana at a private ceremony in 2012.
No photos of the little Eissa are yet to be released.
Congratulations to the happy couple on their new arrival!
