The Unexpected Brother: Meet Omer Bhatti
In a heartwarming revelation, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, opened up about the special bond she shares with her siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Paris and her brothers discussed their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer made his debut on the show, confirming that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. Omer 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.”
A Bond That Stands the Test of Time
Paris, who shares a deep and unbreakable connection with her older brothers, expressed her profound love for them. She said, “They have my whole heart. Every time we come together, we are rejuvenated by our time as a family.”
Unlike her relationship with Prince, where typical sibling disagreements are common, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Embracing Their Uniqueness: Individual Journeys of the Jackson Siblings
Growing up, Omer had the incredible privilege of witnessing the personal growth of each Jackson sibling, offering him unique insights into their personalities. He shared, “Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. As kids, Prince and Paris were complete opposites.”
Omer observed that Prince aligned more closely with their father’s teachings, while he took it upon himself to guide Paris. “He recognized that I was similar to him, always playing the role of the big brother trying to steer her in the right direction.”
A Chance Encounter and a Father Figure
Omer, also known as O-Bee, first crossed paths with Michael Jackson when he started performing at the tender age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and making appearances eventually led me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor.”
Like a sponge, young Omer absorbed everything and saw Michael as his role model. “He later said I was like a miniature version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour, and I would sit just inches away from the stage.”
A Testament to the Power of Chosen Family
These extraordinary relationships, nurtured by love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found comfort in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond between the Jackson siblings exemplifies the immense beauty and strength found within chosen family.
