New rumors surrounding Michael Jackson surfaced yesterday, this time, regarding an alleged fourth child. Omer Bhatti, 25, who sat with bowed head and dark glasses with the Jackson family during Michael Jackson’s tribute two weeks ago, is at the center of the media circus. Michael Jackson “told pals in 2004 that Norwegian Bhatti was born following a one-night stand in 1984,” and is now “believed to be seeking a DNA test to discover the truth” of his identity, according to The Sun.
Bhatti has requested a DNA test to find out whether he is Michael Jackson’s biological child. “If Omer’s his son, he’s his son. We won’t deny it,” says Jermain Jackson according to Contact Music. “We are going to give him the same amount of love and care that we give Prince and Paris and Blanket. I can’t clearly say if he is Michael’s but I saw this kid around him.”
Additional rumors are that Bhatti’s mother, Pia, is also the mother of Jackson’s youngest son, Blanket.
