In a revealing and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary musician Michael Jackson, opens up about the cherished bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, “Unfiltered,” released on July 21, Paris and her brothers discuss their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, the Surprising Jackson Sibling
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer’s special place in the family is revealed. When Omer appeared on the show, he confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. Omer explains, “My mother worked as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. I’d say we practically raised her. She is my younger sister in every way.”
Omer warmly describes the joy that being a part of the Jackson family brings him. “I always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It has brought me so much happiness.”
An Unbreakable Connection
Paris, who shares an incredibly close bond with her older brothers, expresses her deep love for them. She says, “They have my wholehearted love. Whenever we see each other, it revitalizes us.”
Unlike her relationship with Prince, with whom she often has typical sibling disputes, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Unique Insights
As the Jackson siblings grew up, Omer had the extraordinary opportunity to witness their individual development and gain unique insights into their personalities. He shares, “Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. As kids, Prince and Paris were complete opposites.”
Omer noticed that Prince was more aligned with their father’s teachings, and he took it upon himself to guide Paris. “Prince realized that I was similar to him, always the big brother trying to teach her right from wrong.”
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, popularly known as O-Bee, first encountered Michael Jackson when he began performing at the tender age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shares, “Being on TV and making these appearances eventually brought me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor.”
Like a sponge, Omer soaked up everything as a young child and saw Michael as his role model. “He later said that I was like a little version of him. Eventually, I even joined him on tour. I would sit almost right there on the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, fueled by love and shared experiences, continue to flourish within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found comfort in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond between the Jackson siblings showcases just how powerful and beautiful chosen family can be.
