Janet Jackson Says She Will Raise Michael’s Kids

Janet Jackson says that she has formed a strong bond with her brother Michael’s three kids and would step up and raise them if needed.

Singer and actress Janet Jackson has stepped up and offered to raise Michael’s three children, Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and “Blanket”, 7. She says that she loves the children as her own and has really formed a bond with them since her brother’s death.

Michael named his mother Katherine as the guardian of the children in his will, but according to Michael’s  ’spiritual adviser’ Rev June Gatlin, he wanted Janet to care for the kids if anything happened to his mother.

Gatlin told the Today Show, “Michael loved his sister, Michael trusted his sister, he trusted Janet explicitly.”

A family insider told The Sun newspaper, “Janet has said, “I love them and I’ll step forward and raise them if this is what they want. She tells everyone she loves them as if they were her own. The children have chosen her as their confidante and mother figure, and Janet feels her place is at their side. She’s completely bonded with those children in the last two weeks. It’s clear to everyone that they are looking to her for comfort and guidance. Janet is blossoming as a woman with tremendous maternal instincts.”

Janet has been divorced twice, but has no children of her own. She recently just broke up with her longtime fiance Jermaine Dupri.

Katherine Jackson has been given temporary custody of Michael’s children since his death last month. A hearing is being held later this month for the permanent custody of Paris and Prince between Katherine Jackson the children’s mother and Michael’s ex, Debbie Rowe.

Michael Jackson’s 11-year-old daughter has made her first ever public statement at his memorial service.

Over 20,000 people attended the event at the Staples Center arena on Tuesday, with millions of other watching from around the world.

Tearful Paris Michael told the crowd “Ever since I was born, Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine,”

“And I just wanted to say I love him — so much.” She was embraced by Janet Jackson, her aunt, during her speech.

During his life, Michael made his three children cover their faces to avoid being photographed by the media.

Brooke Shields shared some of her fond memories she shared with Jackson during the service. Shields became close friends with Michael when she was just 13.
