Michael Jackson was a big deal in Hollywood, especially known as the King of Pop. He was famous for his amazing dance moves and really cool music. His songs were ahead of their time, and they inspired a lot of other pop artists.
Let’s talk about his kids now. One of them is Bigi Jackson, but he used to be called Blanket. Bigi got a lot of talent from his dad, and he looks a lot like him too. He’s got an interesting life story, and we’re going to learn more about it. But first, let’s talk about Michael’s marriages and his other kids.
Michael Jackson got married three times. First, he married Lisa-Marie Presley, who was the daughter of another famous musician, Elvis Presley. But they didn’t stay married for long, and they got divorced in 1996. Then Michael married Debbie Rowe, who was a nurse and his friend. They had two kids together, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. (also known as Prince) and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. But their marriage also ended in divorce in 1999.
Michael also had another kid, but the mom was a surrogate, so we don’t know her name. He named this child Prince Michael Jackson II. He was born on February 21, 2002, five years after Michael Jr. There’s some confusion about his sons’ names because both of them were called Prince at some point. But Michael Jr. is usually called Prince as a nickname, and his second son was officially named Prince on his birth certificate.
Blanket, or Prince Michael Jackson II, stayed out of the public eye for most of his life. But now, we’re getting to know him better. His dad used to cover him in a blanket when they went out, so that’s how he got his nickname. Michael said once that a blanket is a way of showing love and care.
Blanket is all grown up now, he’s 21 years old! But he’s not called Blanket anymore. He goes by the name “Bigi” Jackson. He looks a lot like his famous dad, Michael Jackson. When he smiles, fans of Michael Jackson get all excited because he looks so much like him. Bigi has these deep-set eyes and noticeable cheekbones that remind people of Michael.
It’s been tough for Bigi since his dad died. He was only seven years old when it happened, and it really affected him. There were times when he stopped talking for a while because of how sad he was.
Bigi Jackson chose a different path from his famous dad and older siblings. Instead of going into music like them, he decided to become a filmmaker. Now, at 21 years old, he lives in Calabasas, California, and is pursuing his dream of making movies.
In a documentary called Jacksonology: Our Story from 2012, Bigi talked about how he wanted to be a director. He used to make little movies at home, starring his siblings and cousins. It’s something he really enjoys, and it seems like his dad, Michael Jackson, supported his dream.
