Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri at Entertainment Weekly's Toast to Antonio LA Reid at STK-LA, West Hollywood, California - 10.02.08

The 41-year-old recently confessed her doctor is encouraging her to freeze her eggs to protect her chances of getting pregnant - and she reveals her mother is urging her to listen to her biological clock too.

Jackson says. "My mother and I have had a couple of conversations.

"She says, 'You're getting older now. Do you think you might want to have a couple of children instead of just your dogs.'

"I'll have kids someday. It'll happen. I'm still young."
