The legacy of Michael Jackson lives on through his timeless music — and his three kids. The King of Pop’s children Prince, 27, and Paris, 25, who Jackson shared with ex-wife Debbie Rowe, and Bigi “Blanket,” 22, who Jackson welcomed via surrogate, made a rare appearance together on Wednesday that proves how strong their bond is.
Paris, Prince, and Blanket attended the MJ: The Musical press night at the Prince Edward Theatre in London. Prince and Blanket kept in simple in black suits, with Blanket pairing his with an unbuttoned white shirt and blue pocket silk and Prince wearing a red shirt and black tie with his. Paris wore a long, rust-colored dress with open shoulders, strappy heels, and a copper clutch purse. Her reddish blonde hair hung in loose waves around her shoulders.
In 2022, Paris and Prince introduced the MJ: The Musical’s performance at the Tony Awards. While on stage, the Jackson siblings gave a special tribute to their late dad, who died of cardiac arrest in June 2009.
“A lot of people seem to think our dad changed popular music forever — and who are we to disagree? But what people may not know is he loved musicals, on film and on the stage,” Prince said. “That’s why we are so incredibly honored to introduce the night’s first nominee for best musical, MJ, which, using many of his iconic hits, looks at the complexities and brilliance of our father’s process.”
Before introducing Tony nominee Myles Frost and “the remarkable cast of MJ,” Paris noted, “This number showcases that creative process as he builds a dance routine, step by unforgettable step, to one of his best-loved hits. Drawing on some of the influences who helped inspire his signature style.”
Although the “Billie Jean” singer’s kids have been doing their best to carry on their father’s legacy, their life isn’t without drama. Recently, Blanket was caught up in a legal battle against his 93-year-old grandma Katherine Jackson over the pop singer’s estate. The two were formerly united in a battle against Jackson’s estate to stop a certain business deal reportedly worth $600 million. The court ruled against them, however, and Blanket and Katherine disagree about appealing the case. According to Page Six, he reportedly backed out because he doesn’t think his grandma would win, which led to Blanket filing to block her from using Jackson’s estate money to fund her ongoing legal costs.
