06/20/2007 at 10:37 PM ET
Longtime lovebirds Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri aren’tplanning on tying the knot, but they are planning to start a family.The rapper/producer says he doesn’t foresee wedding bells as Janet hasalready been married twice, but will "definitely" have children,possibly by next year.
As soon as she finishes her new album. She started in June andshe’s working on it right now. Once the album and tours are done andall that’s settled down, it’ll happen somewhere around then.

Janet Jackson’s about 48 or something isn’t she? Do they mean they will be adopting?

PSB on

I hate when these celebs talk about conceiving a child as if it’s a foregone conclusion when the mother is over 40! It sends the wrong message to people (that it’s easy and effortless for everybody to conceive after 40), and they are also settng themselves up for possible disappointment.

I am all for women having babies whenever they want to, and I hope that Janet can get pregnant easily, but when they make comments like “We’ll get started after this album”, they obviously do not understand the urgency of biology.

If they are planning on adopting, then I take it all back! You can do that any time in your 40′s with no problem :)

I don’t think that Janet will have children, she is 41 now. She has always been very career orientated. I don’t think she wants any kids. She has plenty of nieces and nephews to keep her busy.

Janet Jackson. I have been a fan for 23 years. I love ya, and dont listen to people who say that having kids over 40 is dangerous. Even if youre 20 its dangerous. Do you and do what makes you happy.

I agree with PSB. I think a lot of people don’t realize that just because they have money for procedures doesn’t mean that pregnancy will happen.
On the other hand she could have had some of her eggs frozen when she was in her early 30′s. That’s definitely what I would have done if I had the money and knew I wasn’t going to have a family until I was older.

I’m a longtime Janet Jackson fan (okay I have had a mini obsession with her since I was 11 years old)! I cannot wait until they have kids bc I think Janet would truly like that in her life. Whether biologically or they adopt I wish them all the best and Jermaine’s daughter is a beauty so I know their baby would be absolutely gorgeous (esp. if he/she looks like mommy)!!!

good luck to them, people don’t forget that women go through menopause at differnt times, some in their 30′s some in ther 40′s and 50′s. If janet wants to have a child now that FINE. I can’t wait for her new CD and TOUR!!!.

Their has been alot of women who have had kids after 40 and janet is not dumb nor stupid when it comes to stuff…she did a interview that she knows about the different way you can have a baby the…at the end of the day I love her and I want her to be happy no one can live her life for her and it not like she and boyfriend do not have the money to find out about different ways she can have a baby so more power to them just wish they would get married but if she is happy she have one life to live and she have to do her no matter what people say or judge PS Her body

carissa on

i hope janet and jermain do have kids.
they will b beautiful.

Don't Speak on

These are the times I become so embarrassed

How old is the man?, to think that Janet will just POP a baby out he’s crazy and it places a tremendous BURDEN on her.

Some of the people of my race need not speak publicly it shows their lack of intelligence.

Good luck Janet with this one!

Olivia on

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
