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.

Josef Fritzl Pleads Guilty To Killing A Baby
Josef Fritzl pleads guilty to killing a baby: The 73-year-old Austrian father who locked his daughter in a cellar for over 24 years has admitted all charges against him.
Fritzl fathered seven children with his daughter Elisabeth, now 42, who he repeatedly raped in a bunker he built under his home in Amstetten.
Until this week, he had denied that he had killed the baby due to negligence. He has now publicly confessed that he should of called for medical assistance when the baby boy first became sick. Baby Michael, a twin, was only a few days old.
His daughter raised three children in the cramped windowless celler. Her other three children were adopted and raised by her mother Rosemarie, after they were ‘found abandoned’.
The court were submitted to watching over 11 hours of a recorded video testimony with Elisabeth who detailed her father’s abuse.
Psychiatrist Adelheid Kastner said: “Josef said to me the more children Elisabeth had, ‘the closer she became to me’.
“He said, ‘If she has a lot of children, that will make her unattractive to other men’.
“There are two worlds for him, upstairs and downstairs, and when Fritzl closed the cellar door, he didn’t think about it.”
