In a heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, the 22-year-old daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, opened up about the beautiful bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, released on July 21, Paris and her brothers discussed their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, the Unofficial Jackson Sibling
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, they learned about Omer’s special place in the family. When Omer appeared on the show, he confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. Omer explained, “My mother was employed 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 lovingly shared the joy he felt when he became a part of the Jackson family, saying, “I’d 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 an incredible closeness with her older brothers, expressed her deep love for them. She said, “They have my wholehearted love. Every time we see each other, we feel rejuvenated by our time together.”
Unlike her relationship with Prince, where typical sibling disputes happen, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Unique Perspectives
Growing up alongside the Jackson siblings, Omer had the incredible opportunity to witness their individual development and gain unique insights into their personalities. He shared, “Paris was undoubtedly a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were complete opposites.”
Omer noticed that Prince was more in line with their father’s teachings, and he took it upon himself to guide Paris. “He realized that I was similar to him, always being the big brother trying to steer her towards doing what’s right.”
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 shared, “Being on TV and having these appearances subsequently brought me to Michael Jackson. In a sense, he adopted me and served as a father figure and mentor.”
As a young child, Omer looked up to Michael as his role model. “He later claimed that I was like a miniature version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour. I’d be sitting almost right on the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, bound 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 Jackson siblings’ connection exemplifies the power and beauty of chosen family.
