Tito Jackson: 'Michael is children's dad'

Michael Jackson's brother has dismissed speculation that the late singer was not the biological father of his three children.

Tito Jackson said that he believes Michael's youngest son Blanket, seven, looks particularly like his dad.

He told The Mirror: "They are all his children. Blanket is Michael's, I can tell. Those eyes don't lie. Them eyes are Michael over again. I see a lot of Michael in him."

Tito added that Paris and Prince's white mother Debbie Rowe determined their colouring.

He said: "Paris and Prince are Michael's children. Yes they are. Just because they look white doesn't mean they are not his.

"I have an uncle who is married to a white girl and they have three kids. Two of them are white and one is black."

He also claimed that the children knew that their dad was a superstar, saying: "They were absolutely aware who their dad was but at the same time they knew he was a dad. They were a family first and foremost."
