On June 25, 2009, the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson passed away suddenly, leaving behind a legendary career and three children. Due to the intense protection they received from a young age, his children faced difficulties following his untimely death.

It is known that Michael Jackson left behind a substantial estate, providing each of his children with over $8 million USD (approximately 185 billion VND) annually. Thirteen years have passed since his passing, and his three children have grown up and pursued different paths in life.

The eldest, Prince Jackson, is the son of Michael Jackson and nurse Debbie Rowe. Prince lived with both parents during the first two years of his life before Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe divorced in 1999, after which Michael Jackson gained custody of him.

During his lifetime, Michael Jackson always strove to maintain the privacy of his children’s lives and supported them in pursuing their own passions. Since his passing, Prince has shown himself to be a responsible older brother. He has accompanied his younger sister to events, taken intimate photos together, and shared them on Instagram. Prince has also supported his sister in her modeling career aspirations. As for his younger brother, Prince has always been protective and supportive.

Prince chose not to pursue the arts. He graduated with a degree in business administration from Loyola Marymount University in the United States. Subsequently, he founded his own company named King’s Son Productions, inspired by his father Michael Jackson’s nickname, the “King of Pop.” He dreams of creating music and television projects under his own banner.

In several media interviews, Prince has affirmed that his biological father was a remarkable person and the older brother he loves dearly. In 2018, at an awards ceremony honoring his father, Prince proudly spoke about him: “This is a momentous occasion because our father was not just the King of Pop, but he was someone who dedicated himself to the betterment of humanity.”

Among Michael Jackson’s children, only his daughter Paris Jackson has seriously pursued art and a career in the entertainment industry. She is a well-known figure who frequently appears in the media associated with the “King of Pop.” Paris is currently a model and actress, receiving support from her older brother.

Compared to her siblings, Paris is noted for her rebellious personality. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Paris admitted to having nine tattoos related to her late father. “My dad would always bring me joy. So, I got these to remember him,” she said.

After her father’s sudden passing, Paris struggled with psychological issues, experienced a period of self-harm, and underwent treatment at a rehabilitation facility. The daughter of the famous star acknowledges that growing up in a prominent family, being the daughter of a legend, and the shock of losing her beloved father have turned her life and those of her loved ones upside down. Paris has had a tumultuous and rebellious young adulthood.

Among the three children of the King of Pop, the youngest, Bigi (also known as Blanket), is perhaps the most reserved and least seen in front of the media. He has now graduated from high school. Bigi attended a prestigious high school in Los Angeles, where many children of American celebrities study. Bigi has had a passion and talent for music since childhood. With the support of his siblings, he also intends to explore his musical interests.

Michael Jackson’s only daughter, Paris Jackson, is making vibrant strides in the entertainment industry and is considered the most outspoken child of the “King of Pop.”

Unlike his siblings, Bigi does not have a known mother and does not know who his mother is. While Prince and Paris are the result of Michael Jackson’s short-lived marriage to nurse Deborah Jeanne Rowe, Blanket does not have information about his biological mother.

In 2002, when Bigi was born, Michael Jackson announced him as his adorable and beautiful son, refusing to disclose any details about the child’s mother. Michael stated that he named his youngest son Blanket, meaning warmth and blessing, as he saw him as the warmth of the family.

Michael Jackson revealed that Bigi was conceived through artificial insemination using a surrogate mother and his own sperm. Blanket grew up without the nurturing presence of a mother but received immense love and care from his father. He tragically lost his father at the tender age of 7.

Since Michael Jackson’s passing, his children were raised primarily by their grandmother. Growing up without the emotional presence and care of their parents from a young age has influenced Bigi’s personality to be more reserved compared to his older siblings. He has chosen a quiet, simple life and rarely appears in public.

In 2015, at the age of 13, Bigi decided to change his name from Blanket to Bigi. This decision came after he experienced bullying at school due to his birth name, Blanket.

Now 19 years old, Bigi prefers not to use social media, avoids public interactions, and spends much of his time reading comics and researching games. Information and images of Bigi are scarce in the media compared to his siblings.

During a rare television appearance towards the end of 2021, Bigi called for collective action against climate change. He revealed that his father was actively involved in environmental protection during his lifetime, and he wants to continue that legacy by raising awareness about environmental issues.

Currently, Michael Jackson’s children frequently participate in environmental conservation activities. Bigi emphasized, “Our generation now understands the importance of protecting nature.”
