Janet Jackson's documentary: The revelations we can't wait for - Page 4 of 9

That secret child rumor

A headline flashes that reads “Janet Jackson Had Secret Baby In the 80s James DeBarge Claims.”

That’s another claim that fans have long wondered about.

Jackson and DeBarge (who was also a member of a famous singing family) eloped in 1984 when she was 18 and he was 21.

Their marriage was annulled the following year, but for years there’s been a story circulating that the pair had a daughter that they kept hidden.

Jackson gave birth in 2017 to son Eissa with her now ex husband Wissam Al Mana.
