ET broke the news of Jackson's pregnancy back in May, just two weeks shy of her birthday. The news came amid a major tour for Jackson, which she was forced to postpone. 

"We're in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change," Jackson explained in a video posted to Twitter at the time. "I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I’m going to have to delay the tour."

"Please, if you could try and understand that it’s important that I do this now," she asked of her fans. "I have to rest up, doctor's orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."

"Hey you guys.. It's been awhile.. but I'm still listening," she wrote. "I feel your love and prayers.. Thank you.. and I'm doing well."
