Former In-Law: Janet Jackson Has Daughter
NEW YORK - Janet Jackson and James DeBarge, who were briefly married in 1984, had a daughter together, DeBarge's brother Young DeBarge has claimed on a radio program.
Young DeBarge said the child, named Renee and now 18, has been living with Rebbie Jackson, Janet's oldest sister. His comments lent support to reports that have circulated for years claiming Janet has a "secret" daughter.
Jackson's publicist didn't immediately return a call from The Associated Press on Monday. The singer and James DeBarge were married for less than three months when she was just 18. The marriage was annulled a year later.
"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," Young DeBarge said Friday on New York radio station WQHT, known as Hot 97. "They weren't very revealing about what the relationship was about."
"No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced," he said.
He added, "There's no telling what (Janet Jackson) is telling her."
DeBarge said Renee "is a wonderful singer."
Jackson, 39, secretly married Rene Elizondo Jr. in 1991. They separated in 1999. She is now dating Jermaine Dupri.
Young DeBarge, 28, said he has recently finished an album.

If the child was conceived during the three month marriage in 1984 wouldn't the kid be at least 20 or near 20?:shrug:

The one born with a birth defect. The "no talent" gene. Wait a minute, wouldn't that include LaToya as well? :p

I didn't know either.
I also want to add that it's lame to call people sluts, and therefore judge them on their sex life. :wavey:

Rebbie (it's actually pronounced Ree-bee, I hear) had a very short lived singing career in the 80's. She put out a few horrid videos & disappeared. One was about a snake, or a tiger or some other animal. :rolleyes:
I know this because I saw one on VH1 Classic & said "who the hell is Rebbie?" A coworker told me. :laugh:

So today I saw copy that said that Janet and the Debarge dude were married for 3 months in '83, and had the marriage annulled. The baby was born in '87, just after Control was released. Who's the daddy? :shrug:

Janet Jackson: Child story 'false'
Wednesday, October 26, 2005; Posted: 1:36 p.m. EDT (17:36 GMT)
NEW YORK (AP) -- Janet Jackson says she is not a mother.
In a terse statement released Wednesday, the 39-year-old singer denied a former brother-in-law's claim that she has a "secret" 18-year-old daughter.
"I do not have a child and all allegations saying so are false," Jackson said in a statement released to the syndicated "Access Hollywood" TV show.
A call to Jackson's publicist by The Associated Press Wednesday wasn't immediately returned. Brian Oxman, an attorney for the Jackson family, told E! Online Monday that he asked the Jackson family years ago if the story was true.
"The answer is no way, no how," he told E! "From the sisters to the mother, every last one of them said it never happened."
On Friday, Young DeBarge, the brother of Jackson's ex-husband, James DeBarge, said Jackson and his brother had a child named Renee that was living with Rebbie Jackson, Janet's oldest sister.
"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," Young DeBarge said on New York radio station WQHT, known as Hot 97.
Jackson and James DeBarge, a singer in the former R&B family group DeBarge, were married for three months in 1984, when Jackson was just 18.
Jackson secretly married Rene Elizondo Jr. in 1991. They separated in 1999. She is now dating Jermaine Dupri.
Young DeBarge, 28, is promoting his debut album.
