Michael Jackson held a prominent position in Hollywood, earning the title of the King of Pop for his exceptional dance moves and groundbreaking music. His influence transcended his era, inspiring numerous pop artists. Now, let’s delve into the narrative of his children, particularly Bigi Jackson, formerly known as Blanket, who inherited both talent and a striking resemblance to his famous father.
Michael Jackson experienced three marriages. Initially, he wed Lisa-Marie Presley, the daughter of the legendary musician Elvis Presley. However, their union was short-lived, leading to divorce in 1996. Subsequently, Michael married Debbie Rowe, a nurse and friend, with whom he had two children: Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. (known as Prince) and Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson. This marriage also ended in divorce in 1999.

Michael’s third child, Prince Michael Jackson II, resulted from surrogacy, and little is known about the mother. Born on February 21, 2002, five years after Michael Jr., there was some confusion regarding both sons being referred to as Prince. Michael Jr. is commonly called Prince as a nickname, while the second son officially bears the name Prince on his birth certificate.
Blanket, or Prince Michael Jackson II, remained secluded from the public eye for most of his life. Now, as he has come into the spotlight, we are learning more about him. The nickname “Blanket” originated from Michael covering him in a blanket during public outings as a gesture of love and care.

Now 21 years old, Blanket has shed the moniker and goes by the name “Bigi” Jackson. Bearing a striking resemblance to his iconic father, particularly in his deep-set eyes and noticeable cheekbones, Bigi often excites Michael Jackson fans with his resemblance. However, life has been challenging for him since his father’s passing when he was just seven years old, leading to periods of silence due to profound sadness.

Choosing a different path from his renowned father and siblings, Bigi pursued filmmaking instead of music. Currently residing in Calabasas, California, he is actively working toward realizing his dream of making movies. In a 2012 documentary titled “Jacksonology: Our Story,” Bigi expressed his aspiration to become a director, sharing how he used to create small films at home featuring his siblings and cousins – a dream supported by his father, Michael Jackson.
