Michael Jackson has three kids: his oldest, who was born February 13, 1997, is Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr.; his second-oldest and first girl is Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, born April 3, 1998; and his youngest, born February 21, 2002, is Prince Michael “Bigi” Jackson II—formerly known as Blanket. It’s said that the children were well-mannered, well-behaved, and really level-headed kids. They were always Michael’s top priority. However, after Michael Jackson died in June 2009, the children became more visible to the public eye. This started with his oldest daughter, Paris’s short and unplanned speech at her father’s funeral. She was 11 at the time, she trembled, tearful on the mic, she said, “Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine. And I just want to say that I love him so much.”

Today, the children pursue their own paths, projects, and passions, but remain very close. In 2021 his oldest son prince said “At this point in our life it doesn’t really feel like there’s that hierarchy of, ‘I’m the older brother, It’s more that we’re all siblings and we’re kind of all on that same level where my sister has her strengths, and my brother has his strengths, and where I’m not as strong in certain areas, they complement me in that way.” He added that though the three have busy schedules, they still make time for each other when they can. He says, “Any moment that I get to spend with my siblings now, especially as we’re getting older and our own lives are starting to blossom and grow, every moment that I get with them, any little family dinner, any family outing, is really a special moment.”
