Months after his birth in 2002, Prince Michael Jackson II, later known as Bigi, made his first public appearance. At the time, his father, Michael Jackson, was photographed holding him from a hotel balcony in Germany, covering the child’s face with a white blanket to protect his privacy. This moment led to the boy being nicknamed “Blanket.” However, as he grew older, he distanced himself from this nickname and adopted the name Bigi instead.
Bigi Jackson, now 21, has chosen to live a life away from the spotlight, deliberately avoiding the fame that surrounded his father. Despite his illustrious lineage, he never pursued the music or dance career for which his father was known. Recent sightings have renewed curiosity about his relationship with Michael Jackson, but there is now clarity about his biological parentage. Bigi was born in February 2002 via a surrogate mother, whose identity remains a mystery. Speculation suggests she was a nurse from Mexico, although sources such as the Mirror have confirmed that Michael Jackson is indeed his biological father.
Bigi’s siblings, Prince Michael (26) and Paris (25), are more active in the public eye. Paris is a successful singer, model, and actress with notable roles in American Horror Story and Sex Appeal. Prince, who holds a degree in economics, is an actor, producer, and co-founder of Heal Los Angeles, a charity dedicated to supporting marginalized communities. He also runs a YouTube channel where he occasionally collaborates with Bigi.
Bigi, who was just seven years old when Michael Jackson tragically died in 2009, is now focused on environmental activism. He has spoken about his commitment to making a positive impact on the planet, explaining that he and his siblings want to pursue endeavors that benefit others while bringing joy. “Our generation knows how important it is,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to fighting climate change.

Although Bigi prefers a low-key life, he shares certain traits with his late father. Recently, he and Prince were spotted together at the Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas, where they celebrated Michael Jackson’s birthday at the Cirque du Soleil: Michael Jackson ONE show. The brothers, who are reportedly very close, mingled with fans and posed for photos, earning them widespread admiration on social media. Fans praised Bigi for his resemblance to Michael, with one saying, “He looks so handsome, just like his father.”

Despite the praise for his looks, Bigi has made it clear that he has no intention of following in his father’s musical footsteps. “I can’t dance or sing,” he shared. “But I love making films. I want to be a director.” He fondly remembers watching his father prepare for performances and says Michael encouraged him to follow his own path.
Even though Bigi doesn’t continue his father’s musical legacy, he still follows his own path, combining creativity with his passion for the environment.
