Paternity of Jackson Children Still Uncertain

Earlier in the week, Debbie Rowe broke the news that Michael Jackson wasn’t the biological father of his three children, Michael Jr., Paris, and Prince Michael II. While the Jackson clan have denied the claims, it appears they aren’t as false as first thought; however, Rowe – who says Jackson paid her to have his children – isn’t the biological mother of the two eldest Jacksons, either.

According to “multiple sources” connected to the births of the Jackson children, all three children were conceived in vitro – outside of the womb, courtesy of anonymous donors. The sources say that Michael did not donate his sperm for any of his children, and Rowe, who was until now believed to be the mother of Michael Jr. and Paris, was nothing more than a surrogate carrying another woman’s eggs.

As for the third Jackson child – Prince Michael II, aka ‘Blanket’ – it is not known who his real parents are. The surrogate, it is believed, was never told of the identity of the “receiving parent,” and so didn’t know she was carrying a baby for pop superstar Michael Jackson.

What this news will do for the coming custody battles, no one knows. We’re told this type of case has never been litigated in California courts before, so it’s anyone’s game, basically. Rowe has said that she has no intention of challenging the Jackson’s for the right to raise her children, but with the children’s inheritence on the tables – quite a significant amount of money – there’s no telling whether or not the onetime wife of the Thriller singer will change her mind before the matter has been settled.

Brangelina Twins Conceived Through In Vitro

For someone who never wanted to have children the biological way, Angelina Jolie certainly went to an awful lot of trouble to have her new twins, Knox and Vivienne.

UsWeekly.com is reporting that Hollywood’s power couple, Brangelina, turned to fertility treatments in order to “quickly conceive” a new child.

“They conceived through in vitro fertilization,” a source revealed to the magazine. “They both desperately wanted more babies soon.”

Now this I’d believe. Just before Jolie gave birth to her twins via a c-section, she and Brad were allegedly finalizing another adoption, this time for a little boy from Ethiopia.

Angelina has made no secret that she wants a large family, and told Elle U.K. last year: “If we’re going to have 10 kids, we’d like to raise them while we’re young.”

The source added that the only reason the Kung-Fu Panda star chose the fertilization procedure was so that “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant.”
