Blanket Jackson was born February 21, 2002.
His mother was an unknown surrogate but you can already see the resemblance to dad Michael!
Michael's connections and celebrity put Blanket in the arms of some pretty important people.
Bill Clinton even welcomed the young Jackson into the world!
Blanket is the baby of the family and Michael doted on his youngest son!
Blanket has been in the public eye and in the middle of a controversy since he was born, starting when Michael dangled him off a balcony!
Michael later apologized and said he was just excited about showing off his new son, but this incident still continues to haunt the pop star's legacy.
Despite Michael's personal life somewhat unraveling during court appearances. Taking care of his kids was his first priority.
He never went a night without reading to his three children and never wanted them to experience the physical abuse he did when he was young.
As Michael's children grew up, Michael became more and more protective of them.
He had his kids wear masks so that the paparazzi couldn't take photos of their faces.
Michael's daughter Paris recently said she never understood why they were forced to cover their faces when they were younger.
Now that she's grown up she says she understands it was his way to give them a normal childhood.
Blanket idolized his father and was devastated when he passed away.
He used to go to his dad's room and watch videos of him dancing, trying to copy him.
To keep his dad's memory alive Blanket refuses to cut his hair.
He's said he keeps it long because that was how Michael liked it!
Just a quick reminder of Michael Jackson at his best!
