Janet Jackson has given birth to her first child at the age of 50, whom she called Eissa Al Mana.
A statement said that her and her husband Wissam Al Mana were “thrilled” to welcome him to the world – and, according to the BBC, that “Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably”.
Due to her age, Jackson’s delivery has raised that hotly-debated parenting topic once again: Are you ever too old to become a mum?
But she’s far from the only celebrity to welcome a little one to the world beyond the typical years to do so.
