“We’re in the second leg of the tour and there actually has been a sudden change,” Jackson said. “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.”
Jackson secretly wed Wissam Al Mana in 2012, not confirming the news until early 2013. It was the singer’s third marriage and she currently has no children.
“Please, if you could try and understand that it’s important that I do this now,” Jackson 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. “
