In a rare interview, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of music icon Michael Jackson, opened up about her close relationship with her three siblings. Paris shared these heartfelt revelations in the latest episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered.
Surprising to many, Paris introduced Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper, as their “oldest brother.” While Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were widely known as Paris’ brothers, the addition of Omer may come as a pleasant surprise to fans.
During the episode, Omer himself confirmed his special place within the Jackson family. As he put it, “I consider myself an older brother because my mother was employed as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and Paris, I’ve been there since she was a baby. I’d say we kind of raised her. Yes, she is my younger sister in every way.”
Paris Jackson, who sees her older brothers as her closest friends, expressed her love and appreciation for them. She shared, “Every time we see each other, we feel revitalized by our time together.” Paris also mentioned that she rarely fights with Omer, highlighting their strong bond. On the other hand, she humorously added that she and Prince, being so close in age, frequently have their sibling disagreements.
Omer Bhatti’s unique perspective on the Jackson siblings’ development sheds light on their personalities. Describing Paris as a rebel, he shared, “When they were kids, Prince and Paris were diametrically opposed.” Omer also commented on Prince’s responsible nature, expressing how he always tried to guide Paris on the right path.
Omer’s connection with Michael Jackson began when he started performing at the age of nine. This ultimately led to a close bond between Omer and Michael. Reflecting on their relationship, Omer stated, “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 himself as a sponge, absorbing everything from his idol and later joining him on tour.
Paris Jackson’s candid conversation about her siblings and the unique dynamic they share offers fans a deeper understanding of the Jackson family. It is heartwarming to witness the love and mutual support they have for each other, regardless of their age differences.
