Janet Jackson has a beautiful baby boy, say the singer's brothers Tito and Jackie.

The brothers appeared on "Good Morning Britain" show on Tuesday and spoke about life within their iconic family and more, reports mirror.co.uk.

In January, Janet announced the birth of her first child, son Eissa Al Mana with businessman husband Wissam Al Mana.

Since then, the new mother has been keeping a low profile, but her brothers said that all is well.

"Janet had a beautiful baby boy. It's all good. Everyone's fine. Everything's great," said Jackie.

The next generation of Jacksons also includes late brother Michael's three children, Prince, 20, Paris, 18, and 15-year-old Blanket.

Discussing how they feel about the youngsters getting into showbiz, Jackie said: "I guess it's in their blood. They watched us growing up when they were young. They love the business. That's what they want to do, so go ahead and do it. That's how we look at it."

Tito then said: "There's a lot of talent in the family. We have a lot of singers and actors and actresses so you can't stop a person's dreams. They see their aunts and uncles doing what they do - usually we try and be like our parents and siblings and that's what they do.

"I just tell them to keep their head on straight and use good judgement," he added. "That's the important thing."

The Jacksons are gearing up for their upcoming world tour in support of their 50th anniversary; the surviving members' will play at Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire on June 18.

Speaking about late brother Michael, who passed away in 2009, Tito said: "Michael, to me, wasn't only the nucleus in the Jacksons group, he was the nucleus in show business, he was very good at what he did."
