Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, recently shared a heartfelt tribute to her late father. In a video posted to her social media, she revealed that her father never enjoyed celebrating his birthday, yet she often feels pressure from fans to mark the day publicly. Her reflection drew new attention to the lives of the three Jackson children—Prince, Paris, and Bigi—prompting many to wonder where they are now and how they’ve carried their father’s legacy forward.

Prince Michael Jackson
Born on February 13, 1997, Prince Michael Jackson—whose full name is Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.—is the eldest of the King of Pop’s children. His mother, Debbie Rowe, was Michael’s second wife, and his godparents are Hollywood legends Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin.

When Prince was born, Michael expressed his overwhelming joy, calling himself “blessed beyond comprehension,” and vowed that his son would never endure the same public scrutiny he faced as a child star. As an adult, Prince has lived up to his father’s wish for privacy while still pursuing his own passions.

After earning a degree in Business Administration from Loyola Marymount University in 2019, Prince became an entrepreneur and philanthropist. A motorcycle enthusiast, he runs a YouTube channel dedicated to the hobby. Alongside a college friend, he co-founded Heal Los Angeles, a charity inspired by his father’s mission to help others. The foundation partnered with local organizations to deliver meals to families during the pandemic.

Now 26, Prince continues to honor his father’s legacy through humanitarian work and creative projects. Reflecting on his father’s influence, he once shared, “I think about him every day. What I miss most are his hands—strong, yet gentle. It’s tough to explain, but they always made you feel safe.”

Paris Jackson
Born on April 3, 1998, Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson is the second child of Michael and Debbie Rowe. Named after the city where she was conceived, Paris grew up alongside her brother Prince at the legendary Neverland Ranch. Following their parents’ separation, Michael received full custody, and after his death in 2009, Paris and her siblings were raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

Paris was just 11 years old when her father passed away, and she faced intense public attention and personal struggles in the years that followed. As she matured, Paris opened up about her journey to healing and self-discovery. She sought treatment for her mental well-being and has since become a strong advocate for self-acceptance and awareness.

Over time, Paris also reconnected with her mother and found peace in their relationship, describing Debbie as a close friend. She has spoken candidly about her identity and personal growth, sharing that she doesn’t define herself by labels and continues to embrace her individuality with openness and respect for her family’s traditional values.

Professionally, Paris has followed in her father’s footsteps—though with her own unique artistic voice. In 2020, she released her debut solo album Wilted, a folk-indie project that showcased a softer, more introspective sound. She has also ventured into acting and modeling, with roles in American Horror Story (2021) and Hulu’s Sex Appeal (2022). Her more recent single, Hit Your Knees (2023), highlights her continued evolution as a musician and performer.

Bigi Jackson
The youngest of Michael Jackson’s children, Bigi Jackson—originally named Prince Michael Jackson II—was born in 2002 via a surrogate. Once known publicly by the nickname “Blanket,” he later changed his name to Bigi in 2015 to embrace his own identity.

Now in his early 20s, Bigi prefers to keep a low profile, rarely appearing in public except alongside his siblings. In a rare interview on Good Morning Britain at age 19, Bigi spoke about the importance of environmental action and his desire to continue his father’s message of global responsibility. “We have some work to do, but our generation knows how important it is,” he said, reflecting his growing awareness and thoughtful nature.

Prince has described their bond as deeply close, explaining that their sibling dynamic is based on equality rather than age hierarchy. “We’re all on the same level,” he shared. “My sister has her strengths, my brother has his, and we all support each other in different ways.”

Carrying the Legacy Forward
More than a decade after Michael Jackson’s passing, his three children continue to honor his legacy in their own distinct ways—through creativity, compassion, and quiet strength. While none of them have yet become parents themselves, they each represent a different piece of their father’s enduring influence.

From Prince’s charitable work to Paris’s artistic journey and Bigi’s thoughtful advocacy, the next generation of Jacksons carries forward the spirit of the man who changed music forever. Their lives today reflect not just the legacy of an icon, but also the resilience of a family that has learned to grow, heal, and thrive in their own light.
