Janet Jackson: I've Got A Secret, Too.
 

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.

makes you wonder what else they're capable of hiding....

I would have snorted if her name was Penny.

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

it's a shame that the kid had to grow up with her mother not even raising her and her mother being a slut...but who am I to say this.

How did you get she is a slut out of that - I mean she married him :shrug: If all out of wedlock sex makes one a slut, Lord Child - we are all sluts :laugh:

her mother is just a slut and stupid especially with that b:] :]by scene!

LOL - I liked the boob shot and to this day I think it is the most TIVO'D thing ever and exponentially. Ahhhh human and essentially American hypocrisy "HOW DARE SHE DO THAT" in public and in private "email me the file" :laugh:

How is Janet Jackson a slut?

everybody's on her; heck, we've all probably been on her. I love her music though.:)

The same could be said for Stevie, but I don't hear anyone calling her a slut.

that's b/c I love Stevie with all my heart:laugh:

Lord Child - I have been around the block so many times I have squatter's rights :laugh:

I'm sure, if not positive, Stevie has dirty little secrets, too...that she doesn't want her fans to know about.

Like that stupid little Sara pregnancy with Don henley...you wanna turn this into forensics...I was great in it in high school!:nod:
