This article looks at what it was like growing up Jackson at the Neverland Ranch, and the lives of Michael Jackson’s children now that they’re all grown up – from graduating college to modeling and acting, and even a YouTube series!
Debbie Rowe
Michael Jackson was married to Lisa Marie Presley for 2 years, but the couple separated in 1996 with Presley refusing to have children. Jackson was said to be worried that he would never have children of his own. Jackson’s second wife was a woman named Debbie Rowe. Michael and Debbie had met while she was a dermatologist assistant who had treated his vitiligo. The pair courted and were married on November 13, 1996. The relationship would only last two years, but she would give birth to 2 children in that time.
A Prince Is Born
The first child of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, named Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., was born February 13, 1997 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The couple quickly decided on the perfect nickname for the son of the king of pop: Prince. Debbie and Michael were not a conventional couple, and their marriage was more to do with providing the singer with a family. Shortly after Prince was born, Michael brought the newborn child to his home, Neverland Ranch, while Debbie stayed with a friend.
