Discovering the Bond Among the Jackson Siblings
In a rare and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of music icon Michael Jackson, opened up about the deep connection she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, "Unfiltered," released on July 21, Paris and her brothers discussed their "oldest brother," Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, an Unofficial Jackson Sibling
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer’s special role in the family was revealed on the show. Omer confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He shared, "My mother was employed as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. I’d say we kind of raised her. She is my younger sister in every way."
Omer expressed his joy in becoming a part of the Jackson family, fulfilling his wish for younger siblings. "I’d always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It brought me a lot of joy."
An Unbreakable Bond
Paris, who shares a deep bond with her older brothers, spoke affectionately about their relationship. She said, "They have my whole love. Every time we see each other, we feel rejuvenated by being together."
Unlike her typical sibling disputes with Prince, Paris and Omer have always maintained an unbreakable bond filled with love.
Unique Perspectives
As the Jackson siblings grew up, Omer had the incredible opportunity to observe their individual development and gain unique insights into their personalities. He noted, "Paris was undoubtedly a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were complete opposites."
Omer observed that Prince aligned more with their father’s teachings and took it upon himself to guide Paris. "He noticed that I was similar to him in that he was always the big brother trying to educate her on what’s right and wrong."
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, known as O-Bee, first crossed paths with Michael Jackson at the tender age of nine when he began performing. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, "Being on TV and making appearances led me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor to me."
As a young child, Omer soaked up everything and saw Michael as his role model. "He later claimed that I was like a miniature version of him. Eventually, I joined him on tour and would sit almost right on the stage."
Now, these extraordinary relationships, rooted in love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket find comfort in having an "older brother" like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond among the Jackson siblings exemplifies the power and beauty of chosen family.
