Michael Jackson, the legendary “King of Pop,” left behind three children: Michael Joseph “Prince” Jackson Jr., Paris Jackson, and Prince Michael “Bigi” Jackson II. During their youth, the siblings were intensely shielded from the public eye, only appearing briefly after their father’s death in 2009. At that time, Prince was 12, Paris was 11, and Bigi was just 7. After this tragic loss, the children were primarily raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, giving them a chance to adjust to life without their father while slowly retreating from the spotlight.

As the first to fully embrace the public eye, Paris Jackson has carved out a career in modeling and acting. Signed with IMG Models and appearing in various film and television projects, she has used her platform to honor her father’s legacy. Paris has been candid about the struggles of coping with his loss, with approximately nine of her 50 tattoos dedicated to Michael. She credits her father for instilling in her a strong work ethic and the belief that everything must be earned.

Prince Jackson, the eldest, has focused on creative pursuits behind the camera, working in production and directing. Following his father’s guidance to be a leader, he graduated from Loyola Marymount University’s School of Business in 2019, emphasizing his goal of “changing the world for the better.” Prince also maintains a successful YouTube channel, showcasing his passion for motorcycles while balancing his professional ambitions with a commitment to personal growth.

Bigi, formerly known as Blanket, made headlines in 2015 when he legally changed his name to escape years of bullying linked to his childhood nickname. Though initially described as struggling most after their father’s death, he has grown into a confident young man, recently purchasing a multi-million-dollar home. Like his siblings, Bigi is channeling his influence toward activism, speaking out on issues such as climate change—a cause his father cared deeply about.

Despite their individual pursuits, the Jackson siblings remain closely bonded. They frequently support each other’s careers and passions, demonstrating unity and dedication to preserving their father’s legacy. In 2022, all three attended the Broadway production MJ: The Musical, highlighting their shared admiration for Michael Jackson and their collective commitment to carrying forward his artistic and humanitarian impact.
