Janet Jackson: Secret Mom?

First comes love, then comes secret marriage, then comes secret baby.

According to a former brother-in-law of Janet Jackson, that's how things worked during the pop star's hush-hush union to singer James DeBarge, with the couple producing, but never publicly acknowledging, a daughter.





The Jackson-DeBarge offspring was raised by Rebbie Jackson, the eldest and lowest-profile of the musically inclined siblings, Young DeBarge, a brother of James DeBarge, told New York City's WQHT-FM ("Hot 97") on Friday. His reputed niece, identified as Renee, is now 18, he claimed.

Jackson, 39, has not responded to Young DeBarge's statements, which is nothing new. The pop star is never in a rush to confirm or deny information about her life offstage. It was years before she acknowledged that she'd been married to James DeBarge as a teenager; it wasn't until choreographer Rene Elizondo filed for divorce that his relationship with Jackson was revealed to be of the husband-and-wife variety. Even today, there are whispers that record producer Jermaine Dupri is more than Jackson's boyfriend, and is, in fact, her third husband.

The secret baby story is one that has kicked around for years. Brian Oxman, an attorney for the Jackson family, said the version he heard had Jackson's record label urging the then-emerging star to keep the kid out of the picture. Since Oxman was in a position to ask if it was true, he said he did. "The answer is no way, no how," he said Monday. "From the sisters to the mother, every last one of them said it never happened."

Oxman said he believes the Jacksons, labeling the secret baby story an "urban legend."

By all accounts, Janet Jackson wed James DeBarge, of the family band DeBarge ("Rhythm of the Night"), in 1984, when the future Super Bowl flasher was 18, and he was 21. The marriage was said to have ended in annulment in 1985.

Doing the math, a Jackson-DeBarge baby who was 18 in October 2005, would have to have been born in 1987, or possibly late 1986. Either way, the timeline means the child would have been born after the couple's reported breakup, and during Jackson's emergence as a superstar with her solo breakthrough, Control

Rebbie Jackson, 56, is the mother of three children with longtime husband Nathaniel Brown.

According to a British entertainment Website, FemaleFirst, Janet Jackson told British Glamour last year that, thanks to her relationship

Why would someone hide the fact they have a child? Whenever you get down to it, family is the only thing that matter's in this life! You should know that.As close as the Jackson family is.You should have your butt kicked!!!Were you that self-absorbed?

I'm not a fan of the Jacksons, et al, however, not wanting your child exposed to the public and the media is an understandable choice.

Yes, if that was her line of thinking.Myself on the other hand, would have wanted the world to know. But I am not Janet Jackson.The entire family live's are in a fish bowl, so you can bet this young lady's life will be, also, as soon as the media can expose her. People do thing's for all kind of reason's, even Janet Jackson.Michael, on the other hand likes to expose his in all kind of disturbed way's.

I honestly don't believe Janet Jackson had a kids with her first husband, despite his brother saying that she did. He's full of crap, folks! So is that crappy story!
By the way, the Super Bowl thing about Janet Jackson was also full of crap, too!
Does anyone besides me think this story's a publicity stunt/hoax?

Okay, let's do the math.
Janet is 39, supposed daughter is 18.
Janet would have been 21 when the child was born.
She was married to James DeBarge for 3 months when she was 18.

This means she was married for 3 months in 1984 and gave birth in 1987...

Plus
Young DeBarge has his first solo album coming out.

Equals....Free publicity for him!

I am disgusted that E made negative remarks about Janet and the SuperBowl incident. Justin Timberlake came off looking so innocent. Also, that is done and over with. Up until that day, Janet has mind her business in addition she was never involved in things that were disrespectful to anyone. That shows us that one mistake can cost you everything, except when it comes to the president.

Anyway Janet does not have to lie about if she had a child or not, and if she says she does not then you have to believe it until it proves to be different. The math does not add up and doing that time that she would have been pregnant she was not with her first husband. Maybe Young Debarge should have done his math correctly before he said that. It would have been more believable. Leave her alone, she never bothers or says anything negative about anyone. Eonline you are sad to even made those negative comments. Who comes up with the negative remarks someone who has no human traits.

hgd1,
I agree that Justine Timberlake came off looking so innocent.

This daughter thing is only a PR stunt done by the DeBarge guy. I read that he is releasing a cd or something soon. Hey, anybody can read straight through this.
That is the true, why would Janet lie about having a child? It's amazing how society is always willing to put-down the female and allow the male to be forgiven or just overlook it.

Now, I come to realize one thing. Just because Janet divorced James DeBarge after three months, that doesn't mean that she didn't stop seeing him. Which would make a case for the child to be born out of wedlock in 1987. But I find this difficult to grasp as Janet's Control album was out in 1986 and she was busying promoting it. Being that she was all over the place at the time it would have been difficult for her to hide the fact that she was pregnant.

I'm still chalking it up to him trying to get free publicity for his

I dont believe this story at all cos i dont see any reason why a woman would want to hide her child all in the name of fame which she already had anyway.

This story is false and cant be true....... the date and time of the whole tale are seriously conflicting..

Somehow, I have a feeling that it is a lie, all this is coming out because Janet Jackson's ex-husband has a CD coming out, I don't trust the source who happens to be her former brother in law.

Oh, was the guy her ex-husband? I think I read it somewhere that they never was married throughout the period that they were together. Anyway, as per this rumor going around that she has a teenage daughter hidden somewhere, huh, I don't even know what to believe again.
