ETTM: Jackson kids

I know this is totally not PC, but I seriously want to know: where did Michael Jackson's kids come from?  Are they adopted?  Are they biologically his?  I remember hearing various stories a long time ago and obviously no one talks about it because they are his kids regardless of their DNA, but I'm curious and want to know!

Re: ETTM: Jackson kids

  • I think there was a surrogate mother....

    *runs off to wikipedia*

  • People suspect they aren't b/c they are so light.  But, in an interview he said they were, at least the youngest.  And he said the youngest's mother was black...so I dunno.

  • Jackson married his longtime friend Deborah Jeanne Rowe, a dermatology nurse, in an impromptu ceremony in Sydney, Australia. Rowe was approximately six months pregnant with the couple's first child at the time.

    Originally, Rowe and Jackson had no plans to marry, but Jackson's mother Katherine persuaded them to do so.[145] Michael Joseph Jackson Jr (commonly known as Prince) was born on February 13, 1997; his sister Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson was born a year later on April 3, 1998.

    Jackson's third child, Prince Michael Jackson II (nicknamed "Blanket") was born.[161] The mother's identity is unknown, but Jackson has said the child was the result of artificial insemination from a surrogate mother and his own sperm.

  • Oldest 2 are from his second wife - the third was a from a surrogate but using his sperm.

  • Regardless, I still just feel awful that the youngest is named, or at least called, Blanket.

    lol but yes, I can't get over this.

    ok, interesting, I was always curious if they were actually his.  I agree it's strange how light they are although I know that kids can end up with skin anywhere along the spectrum.  I think there was a story a couple years ago about a woman who gave birth to twins and one was white and the other was black.  Genes are so crazy!

    Wasn't that a sperm or egg bank mix up though? 

    ETA: I don't think I was thinking of the same thing that you were:

    really?  oh, I thought it was just a couple where one was white and one was black.  Considering I've seen siblings who are like that I assume it's possible to have twins, but maybe it wasn't 'real'.

    ETA: saw your update, I was right!  yay!  :P

    my bff has 2 cousins, same parents. they're not twins, but they're full-sisters. one looks irish-white...red hair, light skin, freckles...the other is SOOOOOO dark-skinned asian. looks almost thai (even though they are chinese). mom is chinese, dad is white.  it's possible.

    LOL if you're saying what I think you're saying, MJ was a *little* narcissistic (I think all three of them have Michael in their name, right?), the nicknames are also a little interesting
