Dupri laughs off Janet pregnancy rumour

Jermaine Dupri has denied reports that Janet Jackson is expecting a baby.

Celebrity bloggers including Perez Hilton suggested that the singer's recent bouts of illness may be linked to a pregnancy.

Joking about the rumours, Dupri, 36, told Us: "Does Perez know that lying destroys the credibility of a blogger?"

However, the couple haven't ruled out starting a family in the future.

"I'd love to have children," said Jackson. "It's just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do."

The singer, 42, recently told Sister 2 Sister magazine: "Everyone tells me that there will never be a good time, that I will always be busy, but I just think when the stars are aligned it will happen."
