In a heartfelt episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Paris Jackson, the talented daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, revealed the incredibly strong bond she shares with her three siblings. It was a moment of honesty and vulnerability that touched the hearts of fans worldwide.
During the episode, Paris and her brothers opened up about their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti. Omer, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper, has been a special part of the Jackson family for many years, despite not being a biological sibling. This revelation came as a surprise to many who believed that Prince and Blanket were Paris’s only brothers.
Omer, who considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children, explained his unique connection to the family. 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.”
The joy Omer felt when he became a part of the Jackson family was evident in his words. “I’d always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It brought me a lot of joy.” Their bond, filled with love and support, remains unbreakable.
Paris expressed her deep love for her older brothers, emphasizing the unique closeness they share. “They have my whole love. Every time we see each other, we feel revitalized by our time together.” Unlike her relationship with Prince, which includes typical sibling disputes, her connection with Omer has never wavered. It is a bond that is built on love, understanding, and mutual respect.
Growing up with her brothers allowed Omer to witness their individual growth and gain valuable insights into their personalities. He noted that Paris was always the rebellious one, while Prince tended to align more with their father’s teachings. Omer took it upon himself to guide and educate Paris, filling the role of a supportive older brother.
Omer’s journey with the Jackson family began when he first encountered Michael Jackson at the age of nine. As a young performer, Omer’s talent led him to cross paths with the King of Pop. Looking back on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and having these appearances subsequently brought me to Michael Jackson. In a sense, he adopted me and served as a father figure and mentor to me.” Omer saw Michael as his role model and soaked up every experience and lesson shared with him.
Today, these extraordinary relationships within the Jackson family continue to flourish. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found solace in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The Jackson siblings’ bond serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and beauty of chosen family.
