The Birth of Blanket Jackson
Born on February 21, 2002, Blanket Jackson made headlines even before he was born. His parents, Michael Jackson and his then-wife Debbie Rowe, kept his arrival a secret until after he was born. The name "Blanket" was chosen by Michael, who wanted to "cover" or "protect" his son from the media frenzy that surrounded his family.
Did you know? Blanket was born via surrogate, as Debbie Rowe had already given birth to Michael's first two children, Prince and Paris.
Growing Up in the Spotlight
Raised in the public eye, Blanket had a unique childhood. He was often seen with his famous father, who was known for his eccentric behavior. Michael would often carry Blanket around, even when he was older, which earned him the nickname "Blanket" from the media.
Blanket Jackson was also known for his unusual public appearances. Remember the 2002 Berlin incident? Michael dangled Blanket over a hotel balcony, causing a worldwide uproar. This moment, captured on camera, is one of the most iconic (and controversial) images of Michael's later life.

As the only son of Michael Jackson, Blanket carries a significant legacy. He's a reminder of the musical genius and the complex life of his father. Despite the challenges that come with being the child of a famous parent, Blanket, now Bigi, seems to be carving his own path.
