Omer Bhatti is MJ’s love child, confirms Joe Jackson

London: Michael Jackson’s dad has confirmed that Omer Bhatti is the singer’s fourth child.

Rumours of Bhatti being MJ’s son kicked off after the 25-year-old was seen seated in the front row at the star’s memorial service on July 7. Dancer Bhatti apparently sat with head bowed and sporting dark glasses alongside the King of Pop’s brothers and sisters during the tribute at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. "Yes, I knew Michael had another son - yes, I did. He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson, and he can dance like a Jackson,” the Sun quoted Joe as saying. "This boy`s a fantastic dancer - as a matter of fact, he teaches dance," he added. Asked whether Omer could be the future of the Jackson legacy, Joe grinned: "I don`t know, I can`t say that yet until I see it happen," The ‘Thriller’ hitmaker is said to have told pals in 2004 that Norwegian Omer was his son from a one-night stand.
