Michael Jackson was obsessed with hiding his kids away from the public, a practice that sparked curiosity. Recently, his eldest child explained the reason behind this, prompting a wave of reactions online.
Michael sadly passed away on June 25, 2009, in Los Angeles, California. He left behind three young children, and after his passing, a custody battle ensued between his mother, Katherine Jackson, and his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe.
Following several weeks of negotiations, the two reached an out-of-court agreement.
Reports at the time revealed that Katherine would be granted full, permanent custody of the children, while Debbie would receive "meaningful visitation rights."
A source with direct knowledge of the agreement confirmed that Katherine retained sole custody of Prince Michael I, then 12, Paris-Michael Katherine, then 11, and Prince Michael II, then seven (Blanket), with Debbie maintaining her legal parental rights.
Debbie is the biological mother of Michael Jackson's two eldest children, Prince and Paris. His youngest child, Blanket, was born via an unnamed surrogate following Michael and Debbie's divorce.
