Jackson children 'prefer living with grandparents'

Michael Jackson's children have said that they would prefer to stay living with their grandparents, reports claim.

Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe, the biological mother of his two eldest children, has alleged hopes of gaining custody of 12-year-old Prince and 11-year-old Paris.

According to TMZ, all three children are in good health but "miss their daddy".

The children will reportedly be living with their grandparents, Katherine and Joe Jackson, in Los Angeles and are "100% behind" the idea because they are the only people that can help all three understand their father.

The two eldest children are also said to have no relationship with Rowe, who gave away her parental rights for a £4.2 million pay-off ten years ago.

The 50-year-old former nurse has reportedly claimed that she is more suited to care for Prince and Paris than 79-year-old Katherine Jackson.
