Arnold Klein: Biological Father of Michael Jackson's Children

Michael Jackson used to be married to Debbie Rowe, but neither were the biological parents of the singer's first two children, Michael Jr., 12, and Paris, 11.

Their father is Arnold Klein, Jackson's L.A.-based dermatologist and Rowe's former boss, multiple sources confirm to celebrity gossip magazine Us Weekly.

"He is the dad," says an insider of Arnold Klein, who has not commented. "He and Debbie signed an agreement saying they would never reveal the truth."

While Debbie Rowe and Michael Jackson never confessed to their kids' true lineage, she did admit in 2002 that she carried his children as a "personal favor."

Neither has confirmed that the marriage was ever consummated.

"I said, 'Let me do this. You need to be a dad. You have been so good to me,'" Rowe - who met Jackson when she was a nurse's assistant in the 1980s - has said.

News that Michael Jackson is not the biological father of any of his kids surfaced earlier today. Now we've learned he never legally adopted them either.

Neither Jackson nor Debbie Rowe are the biological parents of Michael Jr. and Paris. Nor is Michael the biological parent of Prince Michael Jackson II.

Jackson never filed legal papers to adopt any of his children. Legal experts say Jackson would be presumed the father but it's not conclusive by any means.

As for why Jackson didn't formally adopt them - some speculate at the time they were born, there was no third party he though would try to claim custody.

Jackson apparently never thought Rowe would mount a custody battle, which wasn't totally absurd, as she actually tried to give up all rights to them once.

However, the music icon's death at the age of 50 last Thursday, along with today's developments, has everyone guessing where the children will end up.

    Leave these children alone. Michael is the only father they have known. Now what if the kids didn't know this info and the media just announces that he is not there bio dad. WHO cares, but you don't have the right to put this info in the public, thats why they had a signed agreement.

  2. AM Says:

    Is there no privacy in the US? If Michael or Debbie or Mr. Klein wanted this info given to the public or to the children, it should've been up to them to do that. Not to these crummy sites that are no respector of persons.

  3. Jennifer Says:

    Well, honestly, we all saw this coming. This is just too sad for the children, who deserve a real family and not the mess that they are getting. I hope it all gets settled in their best interest.

  4. vernon Says:

    May God look down on these children with compassion and love. I hope their lives will be great and meaningful. They are so innocent. Everyone else in this mess should have to answer some strong questions. We act as if children are pets and we reproduce for our fleeting pleasures....it's not okay. These are human beings. Lets take care of our children and not make a mess of thier lives. Peace.

    There is no need to adopt the children, our children were carried by me, but since I have no oaries and my husband sperm cout was very low, eggs and sperm was not ours, yet the twins birth certificate says I am the mother and he is the father.

  7. Victoria Says:

    Stop puttin these children through this shit! They don't need anymore trauma. As far as i'm concerned Michael IS their real father! He took care of them, fed them, sheltered them, and loved them unconditionally. To me that is the definition of fathering. Which makes him the father. So don't confuse the children! Their father was Mj and no amount of blood tests can break that bond!

    should joe jackson have access to children? is katherine even capable of protecting them? the actual biological parents should raise these children. the jackson family dynamic may be too much for these kids.
