Michael Jackson has been gone for over a decade, but he’s still considered a musical legend by many. Despite his controversial personal life, he is still one of the most recognized artists of all time. He had three children who have grown up a lot since their dad was still around.
Prince, Paris, and “Blanket” Jackson have all matured and have their own hobbies and careers to focus on. They tend to avoid the spotlight, but some of their career choices, on top of their parentage, make that difficult. With the talent their dad had, it’s no surprise that love for acting and music has been passed down through the family.
While it’s been a difficult road losing their father, whose work remains such an integral part of popular culture, they have stayed strong and built their own lives.
