The Lives of Michael Jackson's Children Today

Michael Jackson was one of the most famous musicians in history as the "King of Pop." He sold millions of records worldwide with hit songs like "Beat It," "Billie Jean," and "Thriller." Though his musical legacy lives on, many fans are also curious about his three children - Prince, Paris, and Bigi (formerly known as Blanket).

Prince Jackson

Prince Jackson was born in 1997 and is the eldest child of Michael Jackson. As the oldest son, Prince Jackson has often been very protective of his siblings. He graduated from Loyola Marymount University in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.

After graduating, Prince Jackson started his own production company called King's Son Productions. Through the company, he has produced several projects including the Fox special “Michael Jackson’s Halloween” in 2017. Prince is active in preserving and promoting his father's legacy, including by serving as a board member of the Heal Los Angeles Foundation.

In 2022, it was announced that Prince Jackson will take on a major role as a special correspondent for "Entertainment Tonight." This will have him conducting interviews and producing segments that shed new light on his iconic father’s legacy for millions of viewers.

Michael Jackson's Daughter Paris

Like her older brother, Paris Jackson has also taken steps to honor her late father's legacy. In 2017, then-19-year-old Paris released her debut solo album “Wilton Place.” She has also done some modeling and acting work, appearing in projects like the 2018 movie “Gringo” and playing the role of Rachel Wells on Fox’s musical drama “Star” from 2018 to 2019.

Paris Jackson identifies as part of the LGBTQ community. She often uses her platform to advocate for social causes and mental health awareness. Though she battled depression after her father's death, Paris has said her brothers Prince and Bigi gave her the strength to carry on during difficult times.

Bigi Jackson: From Blanket to His Own Identity

Michael Jackson’s youngest son Bigi has intentionally kept out of the spotlight. He was born in 2002 and known publicly as Blanket during his childhood. But after his father’s death when he was just 7 years old, Bigi retreated from public view.

Now in his early 20s, the youngest Jackson sibling graduated from high school in 2021 and is attending college. Sources close to the family have said Bigi is creative like his father and is interested in filmmaking.

Bigi Jackson also changed his name in 2015 to shed the “Blanket” nickname that bullies often used to tease him. Taking back his identity, Bigi has shared through family that he feels more like himself with a name he chose.

United by Michael Jackson's Legacy

Though they have led very different lives, Michael Jackson’s three children continue to share a close bond. Prince, Paris, and Bigi make efforts to support each other in various professional projects that highlight their father’s talents.

They also accompany their 87-year-old grandmother Katherine Jackson to events where she accepts awards and accolades on behalf of Michael for his artistic works. It’s clear that the iconic musician’s presence continues to be felt by his children.

While they missed out on growing up with their father, Prince, Paris, and Bigi Jackson have forged their own paths as adults. Between starting companies, taking on acting roles, graduating college, and slowly re-entering the public sphere, the world continues to be curious about Michael Jackson’s kids as they work to carry on his creative legacy for new generations of fans.
