Michael Jackson's Kids: Hidden Lives takes an intimate look at the lives of Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson, the three children of the legendary King of Pop Michael Jackson. After spending their young lives protected and veiled, they were thrust, literally, onto the public stage with the death of their father in 2009. At Jackson's memorial, his daughter Paris took the mic and with a few anguished words, achingly reminded everyone while they had lost an icon, she had lost her Daddy.
Little has been know about the children of the King of Pop, until now. Interviews with friends, insiders and the Jackson family paint a portrait of the three. From their cloistered Neverland existence to a multi-year overseas road trip, their lives have been anything but ordinary. But family friends and insiders say that the children are refreshingly normal--kind, polite and unspoiled. How did a man with the incredible wealth, fame and eccentricities of Michael Jackson, raise three children who, by all accounts, are incredibly grounded?
We follow the stories of these young children from the unusual circumstances of their birth through their fantastical childhoods with the King of Pop. We look at what happened to them when he died and how they have fared since losing the only parent they had ever known.
