Having lived in the family estate for nearly 20 years, Alejandra Jackson reveals some never-before-heard home truths about the way the late King of Pop’s children are being raised.
Recently, she left the Jackson clan’s compound in Encino, California. Now, in this Woman’s Day exclusive, the mother-of-five gives her unique insight into their troubled lives. “I love Michael’s children with all my heart, so of course I worry about them,” Alejandra says.
“When he was alive, I would only see Prince, Paris and Blanket from time to time, usually when we visited them at Neverland. But my son Jaafar and Prince were always good friends. They were of a similar age, so hit it off from the word go.
“After Michael died, his kids came to live with us in the Encino house – and they became so close with my kids, before long they were always in my room. “I was with those children 24 hours a day,” she continues. “Mrs Jackson [Katherine] would be there, but she was dealing with so much. She had all these people coming to see her, and all these big things to take care of. It was me who was always with the kids.
