Paris Jackson, the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, has become a talented artist and influential figure in the world of entertainment. Born on April 3, 1998, in Beverly Hills, California, she grew up in the shadow of her iconic father. However, Paris has forged her own path and emerged as a unique and creative individual.
From a young age, Paris displayed a keen interest in the arts, including music, acting, and modeling. Her captivating presence and distinctive appearance quickly caught the attention of the fashion world, leading to a successful career as a model. Simultaneously, she embarked on a musical journey by forming a folk-rock band called The Soundflowers and showcasing her singing-songwriting abilities. Paris has also ventured into the world of acting, making appearances in TV shows and films.
Beyond her artistic pursuits, Paris Jackson is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights. She has openly shared her own struggles with mental health and used her platform to destigmatize these issues, encouraging others to seek help and support. Through her charitable work, she has collaborated with organizations focused on mental health, substance addiction rehabilitation, and suicide prevention, demonstrating her commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.
Discovering the Special Bond of the Jackson Siblings
In a rare and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, alongside her brothers, shared the beautiful bond they have with their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti. Omer, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper, had been unknown to many who believed that Prince Jackson and Blanket Jackson were the only siblings Paris had.
During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, Omer appeared and 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.”
An Unbreakable Bond of Love
Paris expressed her deep love for her older brothers and their unbreakable bond. She said, “They have my whole love. Every time we see each other, we feel revitalized by our time together.” Unlike her typical sibling disputes with Prince, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains strong and overflowing with love.
Unique Perspectives and Growth
Growing up, Omer had the unique opportunity to witness the individual development of the Jackson siblings and gain insightful perspectives into their personalities. He shared, “Paris was undoubtedly a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were completely different.”
Omer noticed that Prince aligned more with their father’s teachings, while he took it upon himself to guide Paris. “He noticed that I was similar to him, always the big brother trying to educate her about right and wrong.”
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, known as O-Bee in the music world, 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 a role model and absorbed everything he could. “He later claimed that I was like a tiny version of him. Finally, 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 solace in having an “older brother” like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The connection between the Jackson siblings exemplifies the power and beauty of chosen family.
