Janet Jackson: Having Kids Would Be "Very, Very Sweet"

A year after her break-up from her longtime love Jermaine Dupri, Janet Jackson seems to have sparked a new romance with industrialist Wissam Al Mana. Though they've yet to confirm their relationship, the pair were spotted vacationing together in Europe earlier this year and in Sardinia this past week.

She's yet to comment on her love life, but the 44-year-old singer is speaking out about her desire to have children.

"Yes, at some point. I’d like to," she tells The Daily Mail of becoming a mom. "But my view is that if it’s God’s plan for me to have children then it’s going to happen. I’m not panicking. It would be very, very sweet if I did have children. The icing on the cake. And I like sweet things. But it doesn’t feel essential."

In the meantime, Janet is a very hands-on Auntie to her many nieces and nephews, including brother Michael's kids.

"I get texts and emails all day long from them. Auntie Janet this and Auntie Janet that," she tells Britain's You magazine. "I'm the aunt that they come to when they think they're going to get in trouble. You know, 'I just got a tattoo, or a piercing. And my dad saw it last night and he wants to choke me! Can you talk to him, Auntie Janet?'"
