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.

Jackson Not Children’s Biological Father

Debbie Rowe, the onetime wife of the late pop superstar Michael Jackson, has finally broken her silence on what she calls their three-year “sham” marriage, and reveals that Jackson isn’t the biological father of at least two of his three children.
Rowe, who was expected to challenge the custody of her children in court prior to this announcement, claims that the two eldest Jackson children – Prince (12), and Paris (11) – were artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor. If this statement proves to be correct, it will certainly make any court proceeding pertaining to the kids’ custody a lot more interesting and difficult.
“I was never a good mother [and] I never felt any attachment to them,” she explained.
“It was a better feeling giving them to him than it was keeping them as my own.”
Rowe, a former nurse who first met Jackson in the mid-90’s when he was receiving treatment at a clinic for a rare skin disorder, admits that it was she who approached the Thriller singer with the offer to father his children. She says that she saw how “lonely” he was and how much he “wanted children,” and so offered her womb to him in exchange for payment.
She added that in the three years she and Jackson were married, they “never had sex and lived in seperate houses as a sham couple.”
According to the nurse, she’d been legally bound against speaking publicly about her marriage to Jackson and the true paternity of his two children, but has been freed from the agreement by the singer’s death.
Rowe said: “Michael was divorced, lonely and wanted children… I was the one who said to him, ‘I will have your babies’.
“I was just the vessel — it wasn’t Michael’s sperm.
“I got paid for it and I’ve moved on.”
Rowe claims that the only reason she and Jackson divorced in the end was because of a birth complication that left her unable to bear more children after Paris arrived. She says that Jackson “dumped her cruelly” after doctors revealed she was “all torn up inside” from Paris’ difficult birth.
“He didn’t want anything to do with me … he took the kids,” she said.
“The settlement was written up and he just wanted me to be quiet.”
The final settlement amount was somewhere in the vicinity of $8.5 million for Rowe to walk away from her children, as well as a luxury Beverly Hills home that she had been gifted during her three-year marriage to Jackson.
