Los Angeles: The mother of Michael Jackson`s third child, Prince Michael II `Blanket` is a Norwegian dental hygienist, whom the pop star met while on a holiday in Tunisia, a US tabloid has claimed.While the mother of Jackson`s two elder children -- Prince Michael and Paris -- is his ex-wife Debbie Rowe, his third child Blanket was born through the help of a surrogate mother, whose identity was never disclosed by the pop star.
The US gossip magazine Star, however, has claimed that Blanket`s mother is a close friend of Pia Bhatti, the mother of Jackson`s love child Omer Bhatti.
Jackson befriended the woman after being introduced to her by Omer. She later agreed to donate her eggs.
The pop star allegedly struck up a deal with Pia Bhatti to provide him with a third child, alongside son Prince Michael, 12, and daughter Paris, 11, and she promised to keep her identity a secret, the source told the magazine
"Pia was sworn to secrecy about Blanket. The agreement she had with Michael was that she would never reveal herself to be Blanket`s mum," the source added.
Jackson first met his lovechild in 1996 in the African country in 1996. Omer impressed Jackson by impersonating him and the singer started taking the child on tour with him and his family moved to live with Jackson at his Neverland Ranch.
The rumours about Omer being Jackson`s love child were fuelled further after he was given a front row seat along with Jackson`s family at the pop star`s memorial service. The youngster, 25, is reportedly seeking a DNA test.
