Paris Jackson's private life in the spotlight
Despite growing up under the intense glare of public attention, Paris Jackson and her siblings, Prince Jackson, 27, and Bigi Jackson, 21 have largely stayed out of the limelight since their father’s passing in 2009.
Paris has often expressed gratitude for the close bond she shares with her brothers.
In a 2022 interview on the YouTube channel 'Tuna on Toast with Stryker', she described her relationship with Prince as being akin to twins due to their closeness in age and upbringing, according to E! News.
Paris Jackson remembers late father Michael Jackson
While Paris Jackson has forged her path, she remains deeply connected to her father’s legacy.
In August 2023, she addressed criticism about how she commemorated Michael Jackson’s birthday. “So today is my dad's birthday and back when he was alive, he used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday,” she shared in an Instagram video.
“He actually didn’t want us to even know when his birthday was because he didn’t want us to throw a party or anything like that,” she continued.

Paris further reflected on the pressures of public scrutiny as she wrote, “There have been times where I don’t post anything for my dad’s birthday and people lose their minds."
"Please don’t use a man you have never met as an excuse to abuse, manipulate, and harass his daughter," she added.
