Unveiling a Hidden Chapter: Meet Omer Bhatti, the Unofficial Jackson Sibling
In a heartwarming turn of events, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary musician Michael Jackson, recently opened up about the remarkable bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her popular Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, released on July 21, Paris and her brothers shed light on 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’s presence as an integral part of their family came to light. In his appearance on the show, Omer confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He revealed, "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 spoke with warmth and affection about the joy he experienced upon becoming part of the Jackson family. "I had always longed for younger siblings, and I got my wish with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. They brought so much joy into my life."
An Unbreakable Connection: The Power of Sibling Love
Paris, who shares an incredibly close bond with her older brothers, expressed her deep love and appreciation for their presence in her life. She said, "They hold a special place in my heart. Every time we come together, our shared experiences bring us renewed energy and happiness."
Unlike her relationship with Prince, which sometimes involves the typical sibling disputes, Paris and Omer have never encountered conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable, filled with boundless love and support.
Unique Perspectives: Observing and Guiding the Jackson Siblings’ Journey
As the Jackson siblings grew, Omer had the unique opportunity to witness their individual development and gain valuable insights into their personalities. He remarked, "Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were young, Prince and Paris had completely opposite personalities."
Omer noticed that Prince aligned closely with their father’s teachings, while he took it upon himself to help guide Paris. "He recognized me as someone similar to himself, a big brother figure trying to guide her and show her the right path."
Miracle Encounters: A Father Figure Found
Omer, also known as O-Bee, first crossed paths with the iconic Michael Jackson when he embarked on his performing journey at the tender age of nine. Reflecting on their unlikely connection, Omer shared, "My TV appearances introduced me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor in my life."
As a young child, Omer admired Michael and absorbed everything he could, viewing him as his ultimate role model. "He often mentioned how I resembled a miniature version of himself. Eventually, I even had the privilege of joining him on tour, sitting just steps away from the stage."
Today, these extraordinary relationships, brimming with love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found immense comfort in having an "older brother" like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The Jackson siblings’ unwavering connection exemplifies the profound power and beauty of chosen family.
