Janet Jackson has been relatively quiet since she cancelled her world tour to have babies for her billionaire.

Well now we know why!

Several reports are saying that the 50 year old pop icon is laying low because of complications of her pregnancy, one of which includes a 100lb weight gain.

Details below…

Janet Jackson hasn’t been seen out in public since announcing her pregnancy, but apparently it’s not just doctor’s orders keeping her in hiding.

According to OK Magazine:

Insiders told OK! Magazine that the 50-year-old expectant mother has been staying at home with her husband Wissam Al Mana because she’s on bed rest!

Sources claim she “has ballooned to 250 pounds,” and ordered to stay at home because she’s “at risk for serious complications.”

“This pregnancy is doing a number on her,” added the insider.

Janet is also struggling over her appearance as she prepares for her first child and the source claimed,  “she didn’t want anyone to see that she was already getting huge” when she was photographed in July.

So far, Jackson has not revealed the gender of her child.  Brother Tito Jackson revealed a few months back that she’s merely “hoping for a healthy baby.”

It’s no secret that all pregnant women gain weight, let’s just hope Janet’s ‘snap back’ game is as strong as Teyana Taylor’s.
