Pop music never comes to mind without the name Michael Jackson, he is the king of pop and not even death can end his reign. Prior to Michael’s sad demise, he had two children by his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, and another by a stranger who was believed to be a surrogate. This kid, Prince Michael Jackson II has been the subject of too many questions over the years, it’s only fair that we clear things up a bit about him. So come with us…
Prince Michael Jackson II Age
As the pop legend’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, popularly known as Blanket, was born on February 21, 2002. According to some records, his birthplace was at Sharp Grossmont Hospital in La Messa, near San Diego, Southern California.
For most people, this boy had come from his father’s mouth. Her olive skin, dark brown eyes and long brown hair say it all.
Prince Michael Jackson II must have had it rough in high school. In 2017, he asked that everyone refrain from addressing him by the famous nickname – Blanket. He claimed the nickname got him several rants with bullies at school.
Blanket’s nickname has a past. The nickname was used fondly by the late pop star around her family and loved ones. He said it meant blessing and it was his own way of expressing his love and caring for his loved ones. No wonder he attributed the name to his son. Anyway, this youngster now prefers to be called ‘Bigi’. It was seen as an attempt to have a normal childhood.
His mother and his father
The story of Prince Michael Jackson II’s birth is quite intriguing and we like to imagine it all started when the Thriller hitmaker thought to himself; “Why don’t I make myself a clone?” After consultations with Dr. Lila Schmidit (IVF specialist), Jackson was convinced that this was something he wanted to do. Debbie Rowe, the mother of his other two children, was not medically fit to give birth at this time. So, Michael went secretly and found himself a pretty Latina nurse named Helena. He did all the background checks, assessing her family’s family history before replacing her.
Helena is said to have been in her thirties, slim, fair-skinned, 5ft 4in tall, and with long straight dark hair. As an American citizen of Latino descent, she was just perfect for the role. The story goes that a sum of $3,500 was offered to an unknown woman for her eggs and that Michael Jackson, who was her surrogate mother, was to welcome her baby. What did Helena get from the deal? She received $20,000 for her services, and as agreed, she disappeared once the deal was done.
Where is he now?
Bigi was only 7 years old when his father died in 2009. He struggled to understand what was going on and as such his family removed him from the scene; giving him time to grow and deal with the loss without the intrusion of those who invade his privacy.
His grandmother, Katherine Jackson shares joint custody of Prince Michael Jackson II and his siblings with their cousin, TJ Jackson. She ensured that Michael’s children were moved to a secure residence in Calabasas after his death. This prince was previously homeschooled at the Neverland Ranch, but is currently enrolled at the Buckley School at Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles, California.
Will Prince Michael Jackson II follow the father’s path? Will he also make waves in music? We can barely tell. The youngster is still growing and it is unclear now which path he will take. But we know Prince has a thing for martial arts and video games. He has already obtained a black belt in karate.
Meanwhile, family members think he has more potential to become the next pop sensation among his siblings. Bigi’s singing and dancing skills are light and surprisingly similar to his father’s. A fan once caught him breaking some dance moves backstage at the Michael Forever Tribute concert in October 2011. Michael’s kids can be whatever they wan
