Discovering the Jackson Siblings’ Strong Bond
In a rare and heartfelt moment, Paris Jackson, the daughter of the iconic musician Michael Jackson, revealed the beautiful bond she shares with her three siblings. During an episode of her Facebook Watch series, Unfiltered, she and her brothers discussed their "oldest brother," Omer Bhatti, a 36-year-old Norwegian dancer and rapper.
Meet Omer Bhatti, the Unofficial Jackson Sibling
Much to the surprise of many who believed that Prince Jackson and Blanket Jackson were Paris’ only brothers, Omer’s special place in the family was revealed. Omer, who appeared on the show, confirmed that he considers himself an older brother to the Jackson children. He explained, "My mother was employed as Prince’s nanny when he was born, and I’ve been there for Paris since she was a baby. I’d say we kind of raised her. She is my younger sister in every way."
Omer fondly described the joy he felt when he became a part of the Jackson family. "I’d always wanted younger siblings, and I got them with Prince, Paris, and Blanket. It brought me a lot of joy."
An Unbreakable Bond
Paris has a deep love for her older brothers and shares an incredible closeness with them. She expressed, "They have my whole love. Every time we see each other, we feel revitalized by our time together." Unlike her relationship with Prince, where typical sibling disputes arise, Paris and Omer have never had any conflicts. Their bond remains unbreakable and filled with love.
Unique Perspectives
As they grew up, Omer had the unique opportunity to observe the individual development of the Jackson siblings and gained insightful perspectives into their personalities. He shared, "Paris was undoubtedly a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince. When they were kids, Prince and Paris were diametrically opposed."
Omer noticed that Prince was more in tune with their father’s teachings, and he took it upon himself to guide Paris. "He noticed that I was similar to him in that he was always the big brother trying to educate her in the right way."
Miracle Encounters and a Father Figure
Omer, popularly known as O-Bee, first encountered Michael Jackson when he started performing at just nine years old. Reflecting on their connection, Omer shared, "Being on TV and having these appearances subsequently brought me to Michael Jackson. In a sense, he adopted me and served as a father figure and mentor."
Omer absorbed everything as a young child and saw Michael as his role model. "He later claimed that I was like a tiny version of him. Eventually, I joined him on his tour. I’d be sitting almost right on the stage."
These extraordinary relationships, bound by love and shared experiences, continue to thrive within the Jackson family. Paris, Prince, and Blanket have found solace in having an "older brother" like Omer, someone who has been there for them through thick and thin. The Jackson siblings’ connection exemplifies the power and beauty of chosen family.
