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.

This was on MSM two or three days ago, but beside that, why is it on FR?

Who cares what ANY of the Whackson Jacksons are doing as long as it doesn't involve someone else's offspring?

I guess she had to protect the Jackson image.

The image of Stradivari or something like that.

Whatever the case its a very ill family.

she hasn't, she is still kinda hot but she was hotter a few years ago, and she has been the most talented Jackson for the past 20 years almost....add to that the fact she has been the one making the most of what talent she does have, and hasn't been sued and/or tried for various issues like her brother has been...
