The news follows Jackson announcing the postponement of her Unbreakable world tour last month to plan a family.
Jackson, who turns 50 in two weeks, and her husband Wissam Al Mana, 41, are now expecting their first child, according to reports.
In a video message to fans in April, Jackson said: “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, I have to rest up, doctor’s orders.”
The “All For You” singer previously halted her tour in December, announcing she would be postponing several performances to undergo a surgical procedure. No additional information was given and she was later forced to deny she had throat cancer amid specualtion over her reason for cancelling.
The Independent has contacted a representative for Jackson.
