Michael Jackson’s Legacy: A Glimpse Into The King Of Pop’s Personal Life

Michael Jackson, renowned globally as “The King of Pop,” has left an indelible mark on the world with his exceptional talent as a singer, songwriter, dancer, and entertainer. Throughout his illustrious career, Michael fathered three children with two women, one of whom is Bigi Jackson, his youngest son, who turned 18 in 2020 and has recently been active on social media.

Echoes of the Past: Bigi Jackson’s Resemblance to his Father

Recent photographs of Michael’s third child depict a notable resemblance to the iconic pop superstar. Throughout Michael’s life and even after his death, his personal life, marriages, and children have been subjects of immense public interest and speculation.

Michael’s Early Relationships and Marital Life

The media’s intrigue about Michael’s children and their mothers was probably due to his past relationships. Michael’s initial association with Lisa Marie Presley began in 1974, when they were introduced by Elvis Presley in a Las Vegas hotel. An avid Jackson 5 fan, six-year-old Lisa was instantly taken with the young vocalist.

After rekindling their connection 18 years later at an event, Lisa and Michael grew closer, bonding over their complicated relationships with fame and the public eye. Despite Lisa being married and having two children at the time, her relationship with Michael developed into something more profound, eventually leading to their marriage in 1994.

A Marriage of the Century and Its Collapse

Dubbed “The Marriage of the Century” by tabloids, Lisa and Michael’s union didn’t last long. Lisa never had children with Michael, claiming he wasn’t ready for fatherhood due to his childish behavior. However, Michael was keen on becoming a father. In fact, he even proposed Debbie Rowe, a close friend, to bear his children if Lisa wouldn’t.

After their divorce in 1996, Michael and Lisa continued to date intermittently for four more years. Meanwhile, Debbie Rowe, who had known Michael since the 1980s, was a constant presence in his life.

Debbie Rowe: From Dermatologist’s Assistant to Michael’s Wife

Debbie, who first met Michael as her dermatologist’s assistant, helped him manage his vitiligo for many years. Their friendship gradually transformed into a deeper relationship, leading to their marriage in 1996. They had two children together: Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson, Jr., born in 1997, and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, born a year later.

Parenting at the Neverland Ranch

Despite their marriage and children, Debbie’s role was more of a surrogate mother than an active parent. She would only occasionally visit her children at the Neverland Ranch, where Michael preferred raising them, to avoid attachment.

Despite their divorce in 1999, Debbie and Michael remained good friends. Michael received full custody of their children post-divorce.

The Mysterious Birth of Prince Michael Jackson II

In February 2002, Michael Jackson’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, colloquially known as “Blanket,” was born. However, the identity of Blanket’s biological mother remains a mystery. Michael asserted that the child was conceived artificially and that he didn’t know the mother.

Blanket changed his name to “Bigi” in 2015, reportedly due to bullying over his unique moniker. Following Michael’s sudden death in 2009, Bigi, who was only seven at the time, was raised by Katherine Jackson, Michael’s mother.

Bigi Today: A Glimpse Into His Life

Currently, Bigi Jackson resides in the gated community of Calabasas, with high-profile neighbors like Dr. Dre and John Travolta. The 18-year-old attends Sherman Oaks’ Buckley School and enjoys karate and spending time with his many cousins.

Despite being a recluse, Bigi occasionally attends public events and runs a YouTube channel with his older brother, Prince. Their channel, “Film Family,” where they review movies, has accumulated a following of 35,000 subscribers despite limited content.

Striking Resemblance and A Hopeful Future

With his jet-black hair and fondness for Marvel Avengers t-shirts, Bigi bears an uncanny resemblance to his father, Michael. Living as a child of a celebrity is challenging, and Bigi’s experiences, including public mourning, reflect this. Thankfully, he seems like a typical teenager and appears to be happy. We hope for his continued well-being and success in the future.
