Janet Jackson has addressed long-running rumors that she had a secret child with her ex-husband James DeBarge in the 1980s.

Was Janet Jackson Pregnant In the 1980s With The Secret Child?

The rumor of Janet Jackson being pregnant in the 1980s with a secret child is a hoax. On the first two hours of her “Janet” docuseries for A&E on Friday night, Janet gave her fans a clear view of the situation. 

One of the most anticipated aspects of the documentary was her addressing persistent rumors about her secret child with James DeBarge. There was a rumor that she allegedly raised that child with her sister Rebbie to maintain the ruse.

Anyone hoping for a shocking revelation will be disappointed, as Jackson has officially called the rumors BS. There were several theories made about her daughter. 

“They said I was raising her daughter,” Rebbie added. “I couldn’t believe my eyes. I’m not sure where that ridiculous notion came from.”

Janet breaks down as she recalls those false claims, “first they said my niece Brandi was my daughter and that I gave her to [brother] Jackie to raise. And then they started saying it was Stevanna because Randy’s daughter looks so much like me”, she added.

However, she denied all of the false accusations and revealed that it was the birth control pills she was taking that caused her to gain weight.

She went on to say that even if they had a child together, she “could never keep a child away from James.” “How could I keep a child away from their father?” she wondered. That is not correct.”

Is Janet Jackson Daughter Tiffany Whyte?

Tiffany Whyte was believed to be the daughter of Janet Jackson and her first husband, James DeBarge. She claimed to be the secret child of the couple on the show, “Growing Up Hip Hop.”

She gained a lot of attention following the announcement and several DNA testing were also performed. Tiffany and James’ mother, Etterlene DeBarge met and took a DNA test, which revealed a 96.7 percent chance of relatedness. 

Since then, a second DNA test between James’ and Tiffany’s DNA has been performed. And the results concluded that there is no match and that James cannot be Tiffany’s father.

Following the incident, the case, as well as Tiffany, was thrust into the spotlight. However, the rumors faded and her child became a mystery once more.

Jackson eventually had a child, Eissa, with her estranged husband, Wissam Al Mana, in 2017. Earlier this month, the youngster celebrated his fifth birthday.

“You’re growing up so quickly,” Jackson said on Instagram. “What a lovely, intelligent boy. I wish you a life full of magical experiences.”
