Bigi Jackson, Formerly Known as Blanket, Spotted in Rare Los Angeles Sighting at 23

Michael Jackson’s Son Bigi Spotted in Calabasas Amid Family Updates

Michael Jackson’s youngest son, Bigi (formerly known as Blanket), now 22, was recently spotted in Calabasas, the upscale Los Angeles suburb synonymous with the Kardashians. Dressed casually in an Avengers: Endgame T-shirt and green shorts, he stopped by Sweet Lady Jane bakery in his Tesla, embodying laid-back California style.

Born via surrogate in 2002, Bigi gained notoriety as the infant Michael famously dangled over a Berlin hotel balcony in 2002 to wave at fans. The King of Pop’s death in 2009 from a Propofol-induced cardiac arrest left Bigi and his siblings—Prince (28) and Paris (27)—in the care of their grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

Sibling Updates: Engagements and Breakups
Bigi’s sighting follows his brother Prince’s recent engagement announcement to longtime girlfriend Molly Schirmang. The couple, dating since 2017, shared their news on Instagram in August with a heartfelt post. “8 years down, infinity to go,” Prince wrote, highlighting their shared milestones, including graduations and travels. A photo with Katherine Jackson, 95, underscored family ties. Their cousin Taryll Jackson cheered the news in the comments.

Meanwhile, sister Paris called off her engagement to musician Justin Long in July, just months after their December 2023 proposal. Unlike his siblings, Bigi has kept his personal life private, with no public relationships reported.

Parentage Rumors and Family Legacy
Michael’s children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe—Prince and Paris—have faced lingering rumors about their biological parentage. Debbie, who worked as a dermatologist’s assistant during Michael’s vitiligo treatment, has been the subject of speculation, fueled by late dermatologist Arnold Klein’s hints about his potential paternity. Prince addressed the rumors in 2015, emphasizing, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb,” affirming Michael’s role as their father.

Michael Jackson’s Complicated Legacy
The Jackson family continues to navigate Michael’s controversial legacy. Despite his 2005 acquittal on child molestation charges, renewed scrutiny followed the 2019 documentary Leaving Neverland, which detailed abuse allegations. His children have largely avoided public commentary on the claims, focusing instead on preserving their father’s artistic impact.

As Bigi maintains a low profile, Prince and Paris balance their private lives with occasional public appearances. The siblings’ united front at events like the MJ: The Musical in London reflects their commitment to honoring their father’s legacy while forging their own paths.
