As we remember the legendary Michael Jackson, it’s hard not to see the striking resemblance between him and his youngest son, Bigi Jackson. Now turning 18 in 2020, Bigi has been engaging with his followers on various social media platforms.

During his career, Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, had three children with two different women. It’s no surprise that the media was captivated by his personal life, marriages, and offspring. Questions arose about the true mothers of each child and whether Michael was their biological father.

Let’s dive into the story behind Bigi’s birth and his journey growing up in the shadow of his iconic father.

Lisa Marie Presley: A Complex Relationship

In 1974, Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley first crossed paths when they were introduced by none other than Elvis Presley, Lisa’s father. The timing wasn’t right for them to be together, but they reunited 18 years later and eventually got married.

However, their marriage faced challenges and quickly spiraled into chaos. Lisa had reservations about having children with Michael, believing he was too young to be a father. On the other hand, Michael had a strong desire to become a father. They eventually divorced in 1996, but their bond remained, and they continued to date intermittently.

Debbie Rowe: A Surprising Turn of Events

Another woman who played a significant role during Michael Jackson’s marriage to Lisa Presley was Debbie Rowe. Debbie, a dermatologist’s assistant, had a close friendship with Michael that eventually blossomed into something more.

In 1996, Michael and Debbie got married, and together, they had two children: Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr. in 1997 and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson in 1998. However, their parenting arrangement was unconventional, with Debbie taking on the role of a substitute mother while Michael raised the children at his Neverland Ranch.

Debbie eventually filed for divorce in 1999, signaling her discontent with the arrangement. She granted Michael full custody of their children but remained friends with him.

The Mystery Surrounding Bigi’s Birth

Michael Jackson’s third child, Bigi, was born in February 2002. Although there have been rumors about the identity of Bigi’s biological mother, it remains a mystery. Michael claimed that the child was born through artificial insemination, and he was unaware of the mother’s identity.

Bigi quickly acquired the nickname “Blanket” due to his habit of wearing a blanket over his face in public. However, in 2015, he expressed a preference for the name “Bigi” and chose to leave behind the difficult years of bullying he endured because of his nickname.

Bigi’s Life Today

Bigi, now 18 years old, resides in Calabasas, California. He lives in a gated community alongside famous neighbors like Dr. Dre and John Travolta. Currently, he focuses on his studies at Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California. He enjoys spending time with his cousins and practicing karate.

Under the care of his older cousin, T.J. Jackson, Bigi has found a stable home following the untimely passing of his father. Despite growing up in the spotlight, it seems that Bigi is content and leading a relatively normal life, just like any other teenager.

In recent years, Bigi and his older brother, Prince, have started a YouTube channel called “Film Family” where they discuss and analyze various movies. While they haven’t posted many videos yet, it will be exciting to see if Bigi becomes more visible on the channel in the future.

With his striking resemblance to his father, Bigi unquestionably inherited some of Michael Jackson’s good looks. He also shares his father’s passion for comic books and superheroes, often seen wearing t-shirts featuring Marvel’s Avengers.

Let’s hope that Bigi continues to find joy in his life and makes his own mark in the world, whatever path he chooses to follow.
