Michael Jackson<\/a>\u00a0left an everlasting impression on the world as an unforgettable singer, song writer, dancer and entertainer \u2013 he definitely earned his moniker, \u201dThe King of Pop\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But MJ was also a family man, and during his career, he had three children with two women before his tragic death 11 years ago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

His youngest son, Bigi Jackson, turned 18 years old in 2020. In recent times, he\u2019s been pretty active on different social media platforms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now, when you look at new pictures of Michael\u2019s third child, you can without doubt spot some similarities with the famous pop icon \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Jackson\u2019s marriages<\/h2>\n

All the way up to Michael Jackson\u2019s death, the tabloids wrote a lot about his private life, his marriages and his children. Since Michael had three children with two different women, there was a lot of speculation going on.<\/p>\n

The press often questioned whether MJ\u2019s children were his biological kids, and they also speculated on who the mother of each one actually was.<\/p>\n

Looking back at Michael\u2019s relationships, it\u2019s perhaps not so strange that the newspapers sought answers \u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0The Jackson 5<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Michael Jackson met his first wife, Lisa Marie Presley, back in 1974. He was just 16 years old the first time he saw Lisa, and it was none other than Elvis Presley who introduced them to each other, at a hotel in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Lisa was 6 years old at the time, but a huge fan of the Jackson 5. She loved the young singer in particular.<\/p>\n

But it would be 18 years before the couple met again, at a dinner hosted by artist Brett-Livingstone Strong. Shortly thereafter, the couple grew fond of each other and talked on the phone every day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Michael and Lisa had a lot in common \u2013 both had complicated relationships with the \u201creal\u201d world. Since both were celebrities from childhood, they had been very much sheltered from the outside world.<\/p>\n

When Lisa met Michael, she was still married to actor Danny Keough, with whom she had two children. But Michael and Lisa developed a special relationship, and one day when talking on the phone, Michael asked: \u201cIf I asked you to marry me, would you do it?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Lisa said yes and went on to divorce Danny. Only 20 days after the divorce was finalized, Michael and Lisa themselves married. The couple tied the knot in 1994, at a ceremony in the Dominican Republic. The magnitude of the wedding between these mega-celebrities should not be underestimated \u2013 one newspaper called it \u201cThe Marriage of the Century\u201d.<\/p>\n

But before long, their marriage became very chaotic. Lisa Marie refused to have children with her husband. She thought Michael was too immature to be a father, and couldn\u2019t see a future together with the American singer.<\/p>\n

According to Lisa, Michael struggled with his adult relationships and was \u201dchildish\u201d, often doing child-like things. Michael, meanwhile, purportedly really wanted to become a father. He is said to have explained to Lisa that she didn\u2019t have to carry his children if she did not want to.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy friend Debbie [Rowe] said she will get pregnant and have my baby. If you will not do it, then she will. How about that?\u201d Michael told her, as per the book\u00a0\u201cMichael Jackson: The Magic and the Madness\u201d<\/em>, written by J. Randy Taraborrelli.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Lisa reportedly said that she was okay with that. The couple divorced in 1996, but continued to date, on and off, for four more years.<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe<\/h2>\n

Throughout his marriage to Lisa Presley, there was always another woman in the background: Debbie Rowe.<\/p>\n

Michael and Debbie went way back. They had met in the mid-1980s, when Debbie worked as an assistant for the pop singer\u2019s\u00a0dermatologist. For many years, Debbie helped Michael with treating his\u00a0long-term skin condition, vitiligo.<\/p>\n

The couple became very good friends and eventually more than that.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Michael and Debbie married in 1996 and two of Jackson\u2019s three children were later born. In 1997, Debbie gave birth to Michael Joseph \u201cPrince\u201d Jackson, Jr. One year later, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson arrived.<\/p>\n

Michael and Debbie had a rather odd approach when it came to parenting.<\/p>\n

Debbie was more of a surrogate mom, with Michael wanting to raise the children on his own at the Neverland Ranch. Debbie only visited her kids sporadically, as she didn\u2019t want to become too attached to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy kids don\u2019t call me Mom because I don\u2019t want them to. They\u2019re Michael\u2019s children. It\u2019s not that they are not my children, but I had them because I wanted him to be a father. People make remarks, \u2018I can\u2019t believe she left her children.\u2019 Left them? I left my children? I did\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0leave my children. My children are with their father, where they are supposed to be. I didn\u2019t do it to be a mother\u2026 If he called me tonight and said let\u2019s have five more [children], I\u2019d do it in a heartbeat,\u201d Debbie said in an interview with English journalist Martin Bashir.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s obvious that this \u201cdeal\u201d took a toll on her.<\/p>\n

In the end, Debbie\u2019s dissatisfaction with the arrangement became very clear as she filed for divorce in 1999. In the divorce, Debbie gave Michael full custody of her children. The couple remained friends though.<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson\u2019s youngest child<\/h2>\n

In February 2002, Michael Jackson\u2019s third child was born. The boy was named Prince Michael Jackson II, though people would soon start to call him \u201cBlanket\u201d. The nickname came from the fact that Prince\u2019s face was always covered with a blanket when he was seen in public.<\/p>\n
