A Heartwarming Revelation
In a truly remarkable and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, opened up about the extraordinary bond she shares with her siblings. During a recent episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Paris and her brothers delved into the story of their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti – a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Introducing Omer Bhatti
To the surprise of many, who only knew of Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, as Paris’ brothers, Omer emerged as their previously undisclosed sibling. During the show, Omer revealed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He affectionately stated, “My mother was working as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. We’ve practically raised her, making her my younger sister in every way.”
Omer nostalgically described the immense joy he felt when he became an integral part of the Jackson family. “I had always longed for younger siblings, and I found them in Prince, Paris, and Blanket. They brought me immeasurable happiness.”
An Unbreakable Connection
Paris, sharing an extraordinary closeness with her older brothers, expressed her immense love for them. She said, “They have my whole heart. Whenever we’re together, we feel a renewed sense of energy and love.”
Unlike her relationship with Prince, which occasionally involves typical sibling squabbles, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and overflowing with love.
A Unique Perspective
As they all grew up together, Omer had the rare privilege of witnessing each sibling’s individual growth and gaining invaluable insights into their unique personalities. He shared, “Paris was undoubtedly a rebel, always more independent than Prince. When they were young, Prince and Paris couldn’t be more different.”
Omer noticed that Prince aligned more closely with their father’s teachings, and he took it upon himself to guide Paris. “He recognized that I could relate to him as the big brother, always trying to steer her towards the right path.”
Serendipitous Encounters and a Fatherly Figure
Omer, also known as O-Bee, had his first encounter with Michael Jackson when he began performing at the tender age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and making appearances ultimately led me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he embraced me and became a fatherly figure and mentor.”
Like a sponge, young Omer absorbed everything around him and considered Michael his role model. “He even once said I was like a miniature version of him. Eventually, I joined him on tour, often sitting just inches away from the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, woven together by love and shared experiences, continue to flourish within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket find comfort in having an “older brother” like Omer – someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond among the Jackson siblings exemplifies the incredible power and beauty of chosen family.
