Paris Jackson, the daughter of the iconic musician Michael Jackson, is not only a talented artist but also shares a deep and loving bond with her three siblings. In a heartfelt episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Paris opened up about her relationship with her “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a Norwegian dancer and rapper.
To their surprise, many who thought that Prince Jackson and Blanket Jackson were Paris’ only brothers discovered the special place Omer holds in the Jackson family. Omer, who appeared on the show, confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He explained, “My mother was 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 joyfully expressed his gratitude for being a part of the Jackson family, saying, “I always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It fills my heart with joy.”
Paris, who shares a deep, unbreakable bond with her older brothers, spoke lovingly about them, saying, “They have my love completely. Every time we see each other, we feel rejuvenated by our time together.” Unlike her typical sibling disagreements with Prince, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains strong and full of love.
Throughout the years, Omer has watched each of the Jackson siblings grow and develop into unique individuals, providing him with a deeper understanding of their personalities. He said, “Paris was always a rebel, more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were complete opposites.” Omer acknowledged that Prince was more aligned with their father’s teachings and took it upon himself to guide Paris, acting as a big brother figure to educate her about right and wrong.
Omer, also known as O-Bee, first encountered Michael Jackson when he began performing at the young age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and having these appearances brought me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor to me.” As a young child, Omer absorbed everything, seeing Michael as his role model. “He later said that I was like a little version of him. I even joined him on tour and would sit almost right on the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, filled with love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found comfort and support in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The bond among the Jackson siblings showcases the power and beauty of chosen family.
