Janet Jackson releases 'Dammn Baby' amid pregnancy reports


(CNN)Janet Jackson has some baby news: She's dropped a video for her new single "Dammn Baby."
But that's not the only chatter surrounding the superstar that has the Internet buzzing -- several outlets have reported that Jackson is expecting her first child.
Jackson, who turns 50 on May 16, has not confirmed the reports or even addressed them. CNN has reached out to reps for the singer.
In April, Jackson announced she was halting the second leg of her "Unbreakable" world tour for the second time as she and her husband worked on a family.
    "I thought it was important that you be the first to know. My husband and I are planning our family, so I'm going to have to delay the tour," she told fans in a video released on Twitter. "Please, if you can try and understand that it's important that I do this now. I have to rest up, doctor's orders. But I have not forgotten about you. I will continue the tour as soon as I possibly can."
    Jackson quietly married Qatari billionaire Wissam Al Mana in 2012 and the couple has been intensely private about their relationship.
    In late December, Jackson attributed a tour delay to her need to recover from an unspecified surgery. Talk swirled then that she was suffering from cancer, but she quickly shot those rumors down.
    "The rumors are untrue," Jackson said at the time in a video message. "I do not have cancer. I am recovering."
    Speculation about a possible medical condition was once again rampant when Jackson postponed her tour the second time, especially as she appeared to be lying down in the video when she announced that she and her husband were planning a family.
    Late Wednesday, Jackson tweeted her music video and said, "It's all about Love... #DammnBaby."

    Jane the Virgin Season Finale Recap: The Wedding of Jane Gloriana Villanueva

    Ivonne Coll as Alba, Gina Rodriquez as Jane, Andrea Navedo as Xo. If I could write this whole recap with emojis, there'd be several varieties of hearts, the running man, the dancing woman, and lots and lots of fires and heart-eyed faces. Those creepy dancing twin girls would also make an appearance. And there'd be a gun. My imaginary emoji recap is appealing because it's incredibly hard to come away from a blockbuster hour of television like "Chapter Forty-Four" and pull together coherent thoughts that aren't just "AHHH!" or "WHY would you get ICE for the DAMN CHAMPAGNE?!" or "OMG FACE OFF MASK!" or "Why isn't all of life just Jane and Rogelio doing that father/daughter dance forever?" But I'll give it a try. Jane the Virgin 's season finale is a narrative fireworks display, a shock-and-awe storytelling spectacular that short-circuits emotional processing centers with blazing confidence. It drops j
