Prince Michael ‘Blanket’ Jackson II is the youngest of pop icon Michael Jackson’s three children. Prince – who went by ‘Blanket’ as a child but now calls himself ‘Bigi’ – was born February 21, 2002 in La Mesa, California, a suburb of San Diego. The ‘Thriller’ singer shared his two eldest children with ex-wife Debbie Rowe, but the identity of Bigi’s mother has never been revealed to the public. 

He was educated at The Buckley School, a pricey Sherman Oaks, Calif. private school whose alumni also include Kim Kardashian, Alyssa Milano, and Nicole Richie. Unlike his model sister Paris or philanthropist older brother Prince Jackson, Michael’s youngest has chosen to lead an ultra-private life, almost never appearing at public events.

Here, Blanket is seen during one of his earliest moments in the spotlight. Sister Paris clutched onto her little brother’s hand during the emotional memorial service for their father Michael Jackson on July. 7, 2009.
