Michael Jackson\u2019s eldest son Prince Jackson has been in the headlines of late due to the new biopic about his dad<\/a>, which has sparked interest in the late singer\u2019s life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although his sister Paris Jackson has been critical<\/a> of the movie, Prince has been heavily involved in its production, serving as executive producer and showing support for his cousin Jaafar Jackson – who plays Michael.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The film itself tracks the King of Pop\u2019s life from the \u201860s and the start of his music career in the Jackson Five, and while the original edit ran up to the 1993 child sexual abuse allegations<\/a>, this entire section had to be reshaped and removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, the film ends in 1988, at the height of Michael\u2019s fame. This also means we don\u2019t learn more about his children.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s first two kids, Paris and Prince, were mothered by his second wife Debbie Rowe, while his third, Bigi, was through an undisclosed surrogate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For decades, rumours circulated that the singer wasn\u2019t the biological father of his three kids due to their appearance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s friend, Jason Pfeiffer, alleged in a 2013 interview with the Mirror<\/a> that Michael confessed before his 2009 death that actor Mark Lester was the father of Paris and Prince.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMichael calmly said, \u2018My friend Mark donated the sperm\u2019. I was taken aback, but I didn\u2019t think to ask anymore questions about the procedure,\u201d Jason claimed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, Arnold Klein – Michael\u2019s former dermatologist – has been the subject of speculation. In an interview with <\/span>Larry King<\/span><\/a> after Michael\u2019s death in 2009, Klein said, \u201cI still can\u2019t answer [the paternity question] absolutely one way or another.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
