In a heartfelt moment of openness and sincerity, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary musician Michael Jackson, shared the remarkable bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series called “Unfiltered,” aired on July 21, Paris and her brothers took the opportunity to discuss their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti. Omer, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper, has a unique place within the Jackson family.
The Unofficial Jackson Sibling
Much to the surprise of many who may have only been aware of Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, as Paris’ brothers, Omer is an essential part of their familial connection. Making an appearance on the show, Omer confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to all the Jackson children. He revealed, “When Prince was born, my mother was his nanny, and I have been there for Paris since she was a baby. We practically raised her. To me, she is my younger sister in every way.”
Omer also shared the joy he felt when becoming a member of the Jackson family, saying, “I always dreamt of having younger siblings, and I found them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It has brought me immense joy.”
A Bond That Cannot Be Broken
Paris, who shares an incredibly close relationship with her older brothers, expressed her deep love and affection for them. She tenderly stated, “My love for them knows no bounds. Every time we get together, we feel a renewed sense of strength and joy.”
In contrast to her typical sibling disagreements with Prince, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their connection remains unbreakable and brimming with love that transcends any obstacles they may face.
Unique Insights and Perspectives
As the Jackson siblings matured, Omer had the distinct privilege of witnessing their individual growth, gaining valuable insights into their personalities. He shared, “Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were like opposites.”
Omer noticed that Prince leaned more towards their father’s teachings, prompting him to take on the role of guiding Paris. “He recognized that I was similar to him, and he became the older brother who tried to guide her towards the right path.”
Chance Encounters and a Fatherly Figure
Omer, also known as O-Bee, first crossed paths with Michael Jackson when he began performing at the young age of nine. Reflecting on this bond, Omer revealed, “Through television appearances, I ended up meeting Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor in my life.”
As a young child, Omer soaked up everything around him and saw Michael as his role model. “Michael even said that I resembled a mini version of him. Eventually, I joined him on tour, where I would be sitting right by the stage.”
These extraordinary relationships, built on love and shared experiences, continue to flourish within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket find comfort in having a supportive “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The deep bond between the Jackson siblings serves as a testament to the power and beauty of chosen family.
