Janet Jackson is loving motherhood!

The 50-year-old and her husband Wissam Al-Mana, 42, welcomed their firstborn son, Eissa Al-Mana on Jan. 3 in London. While the singer has always kept a low profile, she has been spotted in a few places since giving birth.

On one occasion three weeks after delivery, paparazzi photographed her shopping for children’s clothing and on Tuesday she was spotted in a North London flower shop.

“She has hired help at home and her husband been with her through it all,” says a source to E News. “It was a difficult pregnancy, but she is very blessed and has a healthy baby. A select few have seen her baby. She is so excited to be a mom.”

In addition to hired assistance, her mother Katherine and sister Rebbie stopped by to pay a visit to the new Jackson. “It seems like her family is staying close to help and support Janet.”

Janet and Wissam married in 2012, after two years of keeping a low profile relationship. While Janet has yet to announce when and if she will reinstate that world tour she put on pause to focus on her pregnancy, Wissam still manages his billion-dollar Qatar-based conglomerate.

Back in California, another Jackson was welcomed into the family as well. Jermaine Jackson Jr. and his partner, Asa Soltan Rahmati (Shahs of Sunset) welcomed their son Soltan Jackson on Jan 20.
