Janet Jackson's former brother-in-law has claimed to a US radio station that the singer has an eighteen year old daughter. Young DeBarge, brother of Janet's ex husband James DeBarge, told New York's Hot 97 that the couple had a child, Renee, who is just eighteen, and, he asserts, was sent away to be raised by the eldest Jackson sibling, Rebbie.
It can't be right, though, because the maths doesn't work out. Jackson and DeBarge were married briefly in 1984. Which means that any secret offspring hanging around must be at least twenty, right?
