In a heartwarming moment, 22-year-old Paris Jackson, daughter of the legendary musician Michael Jackson, opened up about the beautiful connection she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Paris and her brothers had a candid conversation about their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meeting Omer Bhatti, an Unexpected Jackson Sibling
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer emerged as a significant presence in their lives. Omer, appearing on the show, confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. Reflecting on their relationship, he shared, “My mother worked as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. We practically raised her. She is like my little sister in every way.”
Omer spoke fondly about the joy he experienced when he became part of the Jackson family. “I always wanted younger siblings, and I found them in Prince, Paris, and Blanket. They brought me immense joy.”
An Unbreakable Connection
Paris, who shares a profound closeness with her older brothers, expressed her profound love for them. She revealed, “They have my whole heart. Every time we reunite, our bond is strengthened, and we feel reinvigorated.”
While Paris and Prince may have typical sibling disagreements, Paris and Omer have never encountered any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Understanding Their Unique Perspectives
Growing up alongside the Jackson siblings, Omer had the incredible opportunity to witness their individual growth and gain invaluable insights into their personalities. He noted, “Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. As kids, Prince and Paris were like opposite ends of a spectrum.”
Omer noticed that Prince aligned more with their father’s teachings, leading him to take on the role of guiding Paris. “He realized that I resembled him, and he took on the responsibility of being the big brother, teaching her right from wrong.”
Miracle Encounters 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. Looking back on their connection, Omer shared, “My appearances on TV brought me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor.”
As a young child, Omer looked up to Michael and absorbed everything, seeing him as a role model. “He once said that I was like a miniature version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour and sat right next to the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, forged through love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found solace in having Omer as their “older brother” – someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond between the Jackson siblings illustrates the profound power and beauty of chosen family.
