Michael Jackson was known for keeping his children’s faces hidden from the public and often used veils or masks to cover their identities. After his passing in 2009, his children have gradually become more visible in the public eye, especially Paris Jackson, who has pursued a career in modeling and acting.
Prince Jackson
In February 1997, Michael Jackson joyfully welcomed his first child, Prince, with then-wife Debbie Rowe.
“I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I will work tirelessly at being the best father that I can possibly be. I appreciate that my fans are elated,” Michael Jackson expressed in a statement, as reported by MTV. “But I hope that everyone respects the privacy that Debbie and I want and need for our son. I grew up in a fishbowl and I will not allow that to happen to my child. Please respect our wishes and give my son his privacy.”
In May 2019, Prince Jackson celebrated his graduation with a degree in business administration from Loyola Marymount University.
Sharing moments from the graduation on Instagram, Prince expressed gratitude, saying, “Yesterday I graduated from @loyolamarymount Cum Laude in the school of business with a focus on entrepreneurship.” He acknowledged the support he received, although not everyone was pictured.
Beyond academics, Prince Jackson co-founded the Heal Los Angeles Foundation in 2016, evolving it into a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of young people in Greater Los Angeles. In a 2020 interview with “Entertainment Tonight,” he shared his belief that his father, Michael Jackson, would be proud of his efforts to spread “positivity and happiness,” reflecting one of Michael’s main goals
Paris Jackson
In April 1998, Michael Jackson welcomed his daughter, Paris, with Debbie Rowe.
Paris Jackson candidly shared her struggles on the Facebook Watch series “Red Table Talk” in June 2021, revealing past suicide attempts. The singer attributed her challenges to the pressure of growing up in the spotlight and a quest for self-identity. Despite facing negativity, she expressed gratitude for overcoming difficulties.
In a June 2020 episode of “Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn,” she openly discussed her sexuality, identifying as gay. Paris emphasized that it’s about the person, regardless of gender.
In 2020, Paris Jackson released her debut album “Wilted” and continued to share her music with subsequent singles like “Hit Your Knees.”
On Michael Jackson’s 65th birthday, Paris addressed her father’s aversion to birthday celebrations but acknowledged the significance of social media expressions of love and affection.
Paris Jackson addressed the scrutiny of her love for her father in a video, highlighting the pressure of social media expectations. In response, she shared a heartfelt clip from a stage appearance where she expressed deep gratitude to Michael Jackson, emphasizing that she owes everything to him.
Bigi Jackson
In February 2002, Michael Jackson welcomed his last child, who now prefers to be called Bigi, with the help of a surrogate.
Originally named Prince Michael Jackson II, he was affectionately known as “Blanket” during his childhood, but he now goes by Bigi.
Compared to his siblings, Bigi Jackson maintains the lowest profile. While rarely seen in public, he occasionally makes appearances, such as at Prince Jackson’s graduation and a recent outing in Las Vegas on what would have been his father’s 65th birthday.
On August 29, Michael Jackson’s youngest son was seen with his older brother, Prince Jackson, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, attending the “Michael Jackson ONE” show by Cirque du Soleil.
During the outing, Bigi Jackson donned an all-black ensemble, while Prince Jackson chose a gray T-shirt paired with jeans.
At the venue, Bigi Jackson was seen taking pictures with individuals, including actor Myles Frost, known for portraying Michael Jackson in the Broadway show “MJ the Musical.”
