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.

Okay so this skin disorder discolors your skin right but how did he just turn pale out of no where no dark patches or anything just turned straight white and if you believe his kids have the same thing ur an a** those kids were born white this is not about being racist and the article is about MJ being the biological father not who took care of them and took on that role to be their guardian!!!

look guest u dont got to get nasty about it an u dumb as hell bc paris jackson has blue eyes not green first of all and second i do know how to spell vitiligo ok i am a fast typer so i dont know who u calling a idiot alright get your eyes checked

therealtruth is a realidiot, learn to spell VITILIGO. Whoever believes Klein, Lester, and the media over MJ and Debbie is really stupid. MJ is the father of all three, Prince has Vitiligo just like MJ and Paris eyes is green just her grandpa Joe Jackson not blue. The kids tanish skin color is the same color as Rashida Jone and Wentworth Miller, not pale pink white like Arnold and Lester. Paris herself says she mixed race. So I rather believe Michael, Debbie and Paris than those fame whoring liars Arnold Klein and Mark Lester. Even Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia wrote it in her book that Arnold Klein is lying about being the father of MJ children and does it for fame.

Arnie Klein kids, it is so obvious. How long do you think they will keep up with this farce, this fraud? I bet Michael Jackson taught them how to lie. He was a phoney and so are his bought and paid for children.

Are you people blind? They are not MJ's biological children, but he was their "dad".

You should always be proud of whatever your race maybe and not try to change it and any cost.

Are you kidding me....that older boy Prince looks just like Dr. Klein...his ears are big just like Dr Kleins, his face looks exactly like Dr. Kleins. Prince has all the same features as Dr. Klein...anyone with decent vision can easily see and conclude the first 2 kids are Dr. Kleins...even the Dr has been ask on several different interviews and he just says, that Micheal's the father and leaves it at that because he and Debbie Rowe were paid to keep telling the world come to the conclusion the 2 oldest childrens are Debbie Rowes and Dr. Kleins biological children...MJ paid both Debbie R and Dr. Klein to have his children for him....MJ wanted to be WHITE and he wants his children to be WHITE for the same reason. Gee, even MJ didn't want to be black...why was that???? Makes you wonder.
