In a heartwarming and rare moment, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary musician Michael Jackson, opened up about the beautiful bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her show, Unfiltered, on Facebook Watch, Paris and her brothers had a heartfelt discussion about their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, the Unofficial Jackson Sibling
Surprising many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer’s special place in the family was revealed on the show. When Omer made an appearance, he confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. Omer shared, “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 kind of raised her. She is my younger sister in every way.”
Omer fondly described the joy he experienced when becoming a part of the Jackson family, saying, “I’ve always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It brought me so much joy.”
An Unbreakable Bond
Paris, who shares a deeply close relationship with her older brothers, expressed her profound love for them. She said, “They have my whole heart. Every time we see each other, our bond grows stronger.”
Unlike her relationship with Prince, which has its typical sibling disputes, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Understanding Their Perspectives
As the Jackson siblings grew up, Omer had the incredible opportunity to observe their individual development, gaining unique insights into their personalities. He shared, “Paris was undeniably a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were like two different worlds.”
Omer noticed that Prince was more in line with their father’s teachings, and he took it upon himself to be a guide for Paris. He explained, “Prince realized that I was similar to him, always acting as a big brother trying to teach her right from wrong.”
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, also known as O-Bee, first encountered Michael Jackson when he started performing at the young age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and having these appearances eventually led 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 even mentioned that I was like a mini version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour, sitting almost right on the stage itself.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, built on love and shared experiences, continue to grow within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found comfort in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has always been there for them through thick and thin. The bond between the Jackson siblings shows the incredible power and beauty of chosen family.
