Meet Blanket Jackson
In 1997, Michael and Debbie had already divorced. However, on February 21, 2002, Michael shocked the entire world when he announced that he had a third child. He reportedly used a surrogate mother to give birth to Prince Michael Jackson II, the third and final child of the Jackson clan.
Michael knew what he wanted to call his third child from the moment he was born: Blanket. It’s a pretty strange name, but with Michael as a father, this doesn’t sound too out there. Michael chose Blanket because he said that it symbolized love and care. “A blanket is a blessing.”
