Who Is Michael Jackson’s Son Prince Jackson?
Michael died on June 25, 2009. He was 50. He left behind three children, Prince Jackson, Paris Jackson, and Bigi Jackson. Prince, whose given name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., is the late musician’s eldest child. He was born on February 13, 1997, to Michael and his then-wife Debbie Rowe. Paris was born in 1998; her mom is also Rowe. Bigi was born via an unnamed surrogate mother in 2002.
Michael was a proud father, and it was one of the greatest joys in his life. “Words can’t describe how I feel … I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I will work tirelessly at being the best father that I can possibly be,” Jackson said in a statement, People reports. “I grew up in a fish bowl and will not allow the same to happen to my child. Please respect our wishes and give my son his privacy.”
Having children changed his outlook on many things in his life, including learning to forgive his own father, Joseph Jackson, for his childhood. “[Forgiveness] was not easy to come to, but once Michael had children of his own, that’s when he really began to understand Joseph,” J. Randy Taraborrelli, Michael’s friend, told People in an interview in April. “It was when he had his own kids, and he realized that there was nothing that he wouldn’t do for his kids. There were no obstacles that he would not overcome if it meant protecting his children. And once he realized that about himself, that’s when he really came to understand his father.”
