Michael Jackson is known the world over for his music and entertainment legacy — he isn’t named the “King of Pop” for nothing. His long career full of hit songs, show-stopping performances, and celebrity collaborations has made him a household name. And although his life wasn’t without controversy, there’s no denying that Michael left an indelible mark on music history.
The artist’s personal life sparked interest with the public, including his marriage to Elvis’ daughter Lisa Marie Presley, but for the most part, he was an intensely private person who kept his work and personal life separate. That extended to his other relationships and the children that he had.
Perhaps something that many people weren’t aware of is that Michael fathered three children, including a son named Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr., a daughter named Paris Jackson, and another son named Prince Michael “Blanket” Jackson II. For most of their lives, the Jackson children were kept out of the spotlight, except for the rare occasion where they joined their father publicly. They were thrust in the spotlight for a brief moment upon their father’s death before retreating away again.
But in recent years, Paris has begun a career in the entertainment industry, which has, in turn, shed some light on the Jackson children. And now Prince Michael, who went by the nickname “Blanket” for much of his youth, has grown up, having just turned 21 in February 2023. The young man is truly moving into adulthood and gave a rare interview to “Good Morning Britain” in November 2021. He has also eschewed his former nickname for a name he now prefers to go by, Bigi.
