Paris Jackson, the talented daughter of the legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has made a name for herself as a versatile artist and influential personality in the entertainment industry. Born on April 3, 1998, in Beverly Hills, California, Paris grew up in the shadow of her famous father but has since emerged as a unique and creative individual.
From a young age, Paris showed a keen interest in various art forms, including music, acting, and modeling. Her charming presence and unique beauty quickly caught the attention of the fashion world, leading to a successful career as a model. At the same time, she embarked on a musical journey, forming her own folk-rock band called The Soundflowers and showcasing her vocal talents as a singer-songwriter. Paris also explored acting, making her television debut in “Star” and later appearing in other films and TV productions.
Apart from her artistic pursuits, Paris Jackson is a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and LGBTQ+ rights. She has been open about her own struggles with mental health and has used her platform to break the stigma surrounding these issues, encouraging others to seek help and support. Through her charitable work, Paris has collaborated with organizations dedicated to mental health, substance addiction rehabilitation, and suicide prevention, demonstrating her commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those facing similar challenges. Her genuine and compassionate approach to activism has earned her global appreciation and respect, solidifying her position not only in the world of entertainment but also in the realm of social change.
Discovering the Strong Bond Among the Jackson Siblings
In a rare and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, now 22 years old, 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 spoke about their “oldest brother,” Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, the Unexpected Member of the Jackson Family
To the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson, 23, and Blanket Jackson, 18, were Paris’ only brothers, Omer’s presence in the family was revealed on the show. Omer confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He explained, “My mother worked as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. I would say we kind of raised her. She is my younger sister in every sense of the word.”
Omer fondly reminisced about the joy he felt when becoming a part of the Jackson family. “I had always wanted younger siblings, and with Prince, Paris, and Blanket, I got them. It brought me so much happiness.”
An Unbreakable Bond
Paris, who shares an incredibly close relationship with her older brothers, expressed her profound love for them. She shared, “They have my whole heart. Whenever we see each other, we feel rejuvenated by our time together.”
Unlike her typical sibling disputes with Prince, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Unique Perspectives
As the Jackson siblings grew up, Omer had the incredible opportunity to witness their individual growth and gain unique insights into their personalities. He observed, “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 aligned with their father’s teachings, and he took on the role of guiding Paris. “He recognized that I was similar to him, always playing the role of the big brother, trying to teach her right from wrong.”
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, known as O-Bee in the entertainment world, first crossed paths with Michael Jackson when he started performing at the tender age of nine. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, “Being on TV and making appearances eventually led me to Michael Jackson. In a way, he adopted me and became a father figure and mentor to me.”
As a young child, Omer soaked up everything and saw Michael as his role model. “He later claimed that I was like a tiny version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour and would sit almost right on the stage.”
Now, these extraordinary relationships, built on love and shared experiences, continue to blossom 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 bond between the Jackson siblings is a testament to the power and beauty of chosen family.
