Janet Jackson's older brother Jermaine Jackson cannot wait for his famous sibling to become a mother.

The 61-year-old opened up about the exciting family news, which was revealed earlier this month, and how thrilled he is to become an uncle once again.

"She'll be a great mother because she is very tough, very strict," he told reporters at the AltaMed's Power Up We Are the Future Gala in Los Angeles Thursday.

"My sister Janet is my baby. She is fine but she is having a baby. A baby having a baby. We look at her like our little baby and now she's grown and having a baby," the proud brother shared before adding that Janet is "feeling fine."

Jermaine, who is a father to nine children, also added, "I tell her, ‘If you need any parenting skills or baby skills, let me know because I'm the best diaper changer there is on this planet, still to this day."

And when it comes to those famous Jackson genes, Jermaine gushed, "I can't wait to see how this baby is going to look."

Just weeks ago, E! News confirmed that Janet is expecting her first child with husband Wissam Al Mana.

The Grammy-winning singer will be turning 50 this coming Monday.
