For millions of people around the world Michael Jackson will forever remain an idol, a vivid example of enormous artistic talent. 11 years have passed since the death of the legendary "king of pop", but his creative and personal life remains the subject of heated debate to this day. Today we will not touch upon either the topic of creativity, or the scrupulous topic of accusations, either far-fetched or real. Today we will talk about the children of a pop star. Indeed, after his death, not only numerous songs and clips remained, but also a daughter and two sons. What they look like now, how they live, what they achieved on their own after the death of their father, then - in our publication.

Michael Jackson's personal life

Jackson, being born into a large family with many children, also wanted to have children. However, the first marriage with Lisa Presley, the daughter of the famous Elvis Presley, turned out to be childless. As Michael did not persuade her husband to give birth to an heir, Lisa stubbornly resisted. Soon, a complete discord followed in the family, and after it a divorce.

Second marriage and two children

Michael met his second wife in 1996 at an Australian dermatological clinic, where Debbie Rowe worked as a nurse, and the singer was undergoing treatment for vitiligo. It came as a surprise to many when, three months after they met, the 38-year-old king of pop secretly married a 37-year-old nurse in Sydney, who by that time was already pregnant with her first child.

The singer raved about children, and Debbie wanted them to give birth to him: - after Michael's death, Rowe confessed. She also stated that she never had an affinity with Michael. She was impregnated at the medical center, and Michael was not the sperm donor. As, however, and the second time, when Debbie decided to become a mother again. It is still not known for certain whether the woman's words are so true, but be that as it may, Debbie Rowe's confession explains the fact why Michael Jackson's older children are completely white and completely unlike their father. When the public first saw the heirs of the musician, rumors instantly spread that their features did not even have the slightest hint of resemblance to the king of pop music and that Jackson was not their own father.

Nevertheless, Debbie gave birth to a son, Prince Michael Joseph Jackson, and a daughter, Paris Michael Catherine Jackson, whose father was legally considered the famous musician. White-skinned children, of course, from birth were in the center of attention of fans, journalists, and spiteful critics. Therefore, when they grew up, Jackson insisted that the kids always appear in public in masks.

This marriage was slightly longer than the first - it lasted four years, and even before its official dissolution, Debbie gave up parental rights to children. As compensation, the woman received a luxurious house in Beverly Hills worth $ 2 million and maintenance of $ 900 thousand a year. However, maintenance payments were soon stopped, as Rowe violated the terms of the agreement - she told reporters the details of her life with the pop king. The children, of course, remained in the care of their father.

The third kid of a pop star

As for the third child of the pop artist - Prince Michael II, or Blanket, he was born in 2002 as a surrogate mother. It was rumored that the singer never even met her. However, he is the only Jackson child to have dark hair, dark skin, and a distant resemblance to their father.

Touching father

Separately, it is necessary to talk about the paternal qualities of Jackson, who dreamed of children for many years. When Debbie Rose was pregnant with her eldest son, Michael decided: let the unborn baby constantly hear his father's voice, and recorded several discs especially for the unborn baby. And before giving birth, Debbie often included these tapes and listened to children's stories and songs sung by Jackson. And when the little son was finally born, Michael, not hiding his feelings, cried with happiness. He also rejoiced at the birth of his baby Paris, and then the birth of his second son. The birth of each of his babies was the most important event in the life of a pop star, and he did not hide it.

By the way, every Jackson child, long before his birth, was provided with all the best. Michael spared no expense in purchasing the most modern and beautiful cribs, strollers, toys … Apparently, recalling his own bleak childhood, the musician considered it necessary to give his children a completely different childhood - happy and carefree.

And, despite the fact that Michael was almost always very busy - numerous concerts, constant tours, work in recording studios, he tried to find time for his children. Their home teacher repeatedly noted in interviews that kids really were the meaning of his whole life for Jackson. He took them on walks, played exciting games with them, sometimes prepared food for them himself, read fairy tales to them in the evenings and closely followed their studies.

Michael Jackson passed away in the summer of 2009. His death was a huge shock for the children. At the time, Prince was twelve years old, Paris was eleven, and little Blanket was seven.

Children of the famous father

Prince Jackson

Prince Michael Joseph Jackson (born 1997) is the long-awaited firstborn of the king of pop. The guy somehow did not work out either with vocals or with dancing, therefore he did not follow in his footsteps, although music is still an important component of the life of the stellar heir. The young man is more attracted to directing and producing. At the age of 19, the young man created his own production company King's Son Productions, which has already created several videos.

In 2019, Prince graduated from the Faculty of Business Management at the University. The large Jackson family, led by their grandmother Katherine, who was the guardian of the children after Michael's death, came to the graduation ceremony.

And the eldest son constantly takes part in various charity events: he helps children who have experienced abuse, as well as the homeless, defends the rights of African Americans. During the 2020 pandemic, the guy acted as an organizer for the delivery of food to doctors and to poor communities with insufficient supplies. This indicates that Michael Jackson managed to instill in his children a love for people and an understanding that one should always help those who are weaker and poorer. When he was alive, the musician often took his son with him. Visiting hospitals, together they gave sick kids not only toys and sweets, but also a grain of hope for recovery.

And Michael's eldest son is seriously interested in motorsport. On Instagram, Prince says that riding a bike helps to forget all non-essential problems and gives a feeling of inner freedom.

Paris is the daughter of the king of pop

Just like Prince, Paris (born 1998) literally idolized her father, after whose death she tried several times to die after him. The girl, stunned with grief, hated the whole world, hated herself, and it is not known how her future life would have turned out if at the age of 15 the girl had not been rescued once again by psychologists and had not been assigned to a special school and a foster family. Gradually she managed to get out of depression.

When Michael was gone, her and the boys were taken into care by their grandmother, who was trying with all her might to replace the children and mother and father. But from the age of 13, Paris began to look for her mother, about whom she knew only her name from her father. However, the girl's hopes were dashed like a house of cards when the daughter and mother met. Paris's relationship with Debbie Rose did not work out - they turned out to be very different. Only years later, Paris, having learned about the incurable illness of her mother, somehow established contact with her.

At a young age, the girl dreamed of becoming an actress. In 2011, a contract was signed to shoot her in the film "The Bridge of London and Three Keys". In the end, work on the film dragged on and the premiere took place only eight years later. In May 2012, Paris was named the most beautiful teenager in the world by People Magazine. In 2017, Paris started modeling. Her photos have appeared on the covers of many popular glossy magazines. The girl who successfully started her modeling career was nominated for the Teen Choice Awards. And it gave a good start to her modeling career.

In addition, Paris made her debut in the television series "Star", the action movie "Dangerous Liaisons", starred in several music videos, including clips. In 2018, the movie "Dangerous Business" was released, in which Jackson made his full-length acting debut. And in June 2020, the daughter of an eminent father presented the debut track Glorious.

As for the personal life of Paris, in 2015 she married the football player Chester Castello. However, not for long. After six months, the couple broke up. Over the past few years, the heiress of the king of pop met with rock musician Gabriel Glenn, with whom she created several popular musical compositions, showing her vocal talent. However, according to rumors in August 2020, Paris and Glenn broke up.

Now Michael Jackson's daughter is a real beauty, she is a successful model and actress. The girl often sees her brothers, they maintain a good relationship. In memory of a past happy life, Paris dreams of buying and restoring the Neverland estate, where she and her brothers were once truly happy with their dad.

Paris Jackson is also a constant participant in protests against the policies of the current US President - Donald Trump, like her older brother, participates in charity.

Prince II - aka Blanket, aka Biggie - junior heir to a pop star

The musician's youngest son, Prince II, was given birth by a surrogate mother in 2002. However, who this woman was is still unknown. As a child, Prince II received the nickname Blanket, and not so long ago, the youngest of the Jackson decided to change his name, and now the guy bears the name Biggie Jackson. It is known that he studies in a closed school and is seriously interested in martial arts.

When Biggie turned 18, the guy completely abandoned his grandmother's custody - deciding to live on his own. The older brother and sister supported the younger in his decision. Now Biggie leads a very closed life, tries not to communicate with journalists, with the exception of charity events in which he takes part with Paris and Prince. Biggie devotes a lot of time to his studies. Perhaps very soon the youngest son of the legendary Michael will achieve even greater heights than his father, but already in the scientific field. As noted by people close to the family, as well as teachers, the youngest of the Jackson has a completely different character than his older brother and sister. Close relatives claim that Prince II -

In May 2019, the Jackson brothers launched a YouTube channel where they were going to review new movies. However, things did not go beyond the first issue. But thanks to this video, fans of the King of Pop heard the voice of his youngest heir for the first time.

P. S

Both brothers and sister have been strong friends and support each other since childhood. And despite the fact that the press is still "fraying" their blood relationship with the great musician, all Jackson's heirs consider him their real father, are proud of him and try to protect his name from unfounded accusations. Paris, Prince and Biggie are confident that with the help of lawyers they will be able to refute the perjury in the child molestation case against the deceased father.

In conclusion, I would like to note that if Michael Jackson were alive, he would certainly be proud of his sons and daughter, and it is a pity that he did not live up to this time. And fans of the work of the genius musician are invited to recall some pages from his life: How Michael Jackson ascended the musical Olympus, and what the king of the pop scene left behind.
