Months after Prince Michael Jackson II, affectionately known as Bigi, was born in 2002, he made his first public appearance in Germany. The world watched as he was held by his father, the legendary Michael Jackson, dangling over the edge of a balcony, his head concealed by a white blanket. This conspicuous event and his father’s efforts to protect his identity birthed the nickname Blanket. However, as he grew older, he dropped the name and is now known as Bigi Jackson.

Since his father’s passing in 2009, Bigi has carefully maintained a low profile, choosing to stay away from the relentless fame that follows the Jackson name. Recently, a sighting of Bigi has finally put an end to the speculation about his biological connection to the King of Pop. It is now confirmed that Michael Jackson is indeed his biological father.

Bigi, born in February 2002 via an unknown surrogate, is the younger brother of Prince Michael, 26, and Paris, 25, whose mother is Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson’s ex-wife. While the identity of the surrogate remains undisclosed, rumors suggest that she is a Mexican nurse named Helena. Although the surrogate carried the baby, the identity of the egg donor remains a mystery.

Despite growing up in the shadow of his father’s fame, Bigi has chosen to lead a private life, unlike his siblings. Paris has pursued a career in music, modeling, and acting, while Prince is involved in acting, producing, philanthropy, and runs his own YouTube channel. In contrast, Bigi maintains a low-key presence but has dedicated himself to advocating for a healthy global climate.

At the recent celebration of their late father’s birthday, Bigi and Prince, who are reportedly best friends, were spotted interacting with guests at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Captured in photos with their father’s fans, Bigi drew comparisons to Michael Jackson’s iconic features. Fans gushed over his resemblance, calling him handsome and noting that he looks exactly like his father.

While fans may hope to see Bigi follow in his father’s footsteps as a dancer and singer, he has different aspirations. Although he acknowledges his father’s talent in those areas, Bigi confesses that he cannot dance or sing. Instead, he wants to pursue a career in directing and enjoys creating small movies with his cousins and friends.

As we reflect on the legacy of Michael Jackson, his children continue to honor his memory in their own unique ways. Despite the challenges that come with being the offspring of a global superstar, Bigi, Prince, and Paris are intent on leaving their mark on the world while carrying their father’s spirit with them.
