Introduction
More than a decade after the death of pop icon Michael Jackson, many still wonder: What became of his children—especially his youngest son, Bigi Jackson?
Born in 2002 as Prince Michael Jackson II, and famously nicknamed “Blanket” during his early years, Bigi has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Now in his early 20s, he goes by Bigi, having chosen to leave behind the nickname tied to intense media scrutiny. While his older siblings, Prince and Paris Jackson, occasionally appear at public events or pursue careers in entertainment and activism, Bigi prefers a quieter, more private life.
He currently resides in Calabasas, California, where he lives in relative peace, far from Hollywood’s flashing cameras. Bigi has shown interest in filmmaking and environmental activism. In a rare 2021 interview, he voiced concerns about climate change, urging global leaders to take action. It was a glimpse into the thoughtful, serious young man he’s becoming—one who respects his father’s legacy, yet wants to make a name of his own.
Despite being heir to one of the most famous legacies in music history, Bigi is not driven by fame. Sources close to the family say he enjoys martial arts, anime, and spending time with close friends. He also inherited a passion for storytelling, quietly working behind the scenes on film and media projects.
Life for Michael Jackson’s youngest son isn’t about replicating the King of Pop’s fame—it’s about finding peace, purpose, and privacy in a world that never stopped watching.
