Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, has been making headlines in recent years for her foray into the entertainment industry and her activism work. However, many are still curious about her family background, particularly what happened to her mother.
The Early Years
Paris Jackson was born on April 3, 1998, to Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe. Her parents met while Rowe was working as a nurse in the dermatology office where Michael was being treated for vitiligo. The couple got married in 1996 and had two children together – Paris and her older brother Prince Michael Jackson.
The Separation
After three years of marriage, Michael and Debbie got divorced. As part of the divorce settlement, Rowe gave up all custody rights to their children while receiving a sum of $8.5 million. However, she later tried to regain custody of her children but was unsuccessful.
Rowe’s Health Issues
Debbie Rowe has had a tumultuous health history over the years. In 2016, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery to remove it. Fortunately, she has since made a full recovery.
Relationship with Her Children
Despite giving up custody rights to Paris and Prince Michael Jackson, Debbie Rowe has remained in their lives over the years. In fact, Paris has spoken about how close she is to her mother in various interviews.
However, there have been reports that their relationship has not always been smooth sailing. In 2013, Paris attempted suicide and sources claimed that it was due to ongoing family issues and conflicts with her mother.
The Present Day
As of now, it seems like Paris Jackson has a stable relationship with her mother despite any past issues they may have faced. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in 2017, Paris revealed that she and her mother had reconnected after a period of estrangement.
In conclusion, while Debbie Rowe may not have been a constant presence in Paris Jackson’s life, it’s clear that she has played a significant role in her daughter’s upbringing. Despite any past conflicts or health issues, it seems like the mother-daughter duo has found a way to reconcile and maintain a relationship.
