Explosive new rumours have surfaced, suggesting Hollywood legend Marlon Brando could be the biological father of Michael Jackson's youngest son, Bigi, formerly known as Blanket.
The Bombshell Paternity Claim
For decades, speculation has swirled around the paternity of Michael Jackson's three children: Prince, 28, Paris, 27, and Bigi, 23. New claims, reportedly from sources close to the Jackson family, now posit that the late Godfather star, Marlon Brando, secretly helped his close friend become a father via sperm donation. The source alleges Michael Jackson was "unable" to father children himself, a notion they claim is "pretty much accepted as a fact" despite past denials from the Jackson camp.
Bigi was born via an unknown surrogate in February 2002. The recent claims suggest Brando, who died in 2004, was among the donors Jackson trusted. A source told The Sun: "They were both megastars and very close, so they had a lot of trust between them. That’s why it has stayed quiet for so long, but a handful of people close have always known."
Close Bonds and Striking Resemblances
The friendship between Michael Jackson and Marlon Brando was famously strong. Brando's son, Miko, worked for years as Jackson's bodyguard and appeared in his 2001 'You Rock My World' music video. Miko has previously revealed that his father spent much of his later years at Jackson's Neverland Ranch in California.
Observers have noted a striking resemblance between Brando and the now 23-year-old Bigi. Brando, known to have fathered at least 11 children, was notoriously private about his family life, raising many of his children away from the spotlight on his private island in Tahiti—a desire for seclusion he shared with Jackson.
Turmoil Within the Jackson Estate
The emergence of these claims is said to have caused significant unrest within the wider Jackson estate. The insider stated, "It has all kicked off within the wider Jackson estate quite recently. Everyone is trying to get their heads around it."
Jackson's children were born after his marriage to nurse Debbie Rowe. The couple wed in 1996, she gave birth to his first two children, and they divorced in 1999, with Jackson taking full custody. Bigi was born years later. The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, died of acute propofol intoxication in 2009.
While these new allegations add another layer of mystery to Jackson's complex legacy, they remain unverified claims from unnamed sources. The reported reaction within the estate, however, underscores the potentially seismic impact of such a revelation about one of pop culture's most enigmatic families.
