Michael Jackson left more than an extensive musical legacy and his former estate of Neverland Ranch behind when he died at the age of 50 on June 25, 2009 — the King of Pop also had three children.
Michael’s first child, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., was born to the musician and nurse Debbie Rowe, to whom he was married from 1996 to 1999, on February 13, 1997. He was nicknamed “Prince” and reportedly cared for by nurses and nannies at the Neverland Ranch.
The Grammy winner welcomed a second child, daughter Paris, with Rowe on April 3, 1998. His third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, arrived on February 21, 2002, via surrogate. He quickly garnered the nickname “Blanket” and was introduced to the world months after his birth — when his father made headlines for holding him over the railing of a hotel balcony in Berlin. He now goes by Bigi.
