Prince Jackson's New Chapter: Engagement and Philanthropic Focus

Prince Michael Jackson Jr., the eldest sibling, has consistently focused his public life on entrepreneurship and charity, steering clear of the intense music industry spotlight that defined his father's life. However, he made major personal news in late 2025 when he announced his engagement.

The 28-year-old popped the question to his longtime girlfriend, Molly Schirmang, after eight years of dating. The couple met while attending Loyola Marymount University, where Prince earned a degree in business administration. This milestone marks a new and exciting personal chapter for Prince, who is often described as the most grounded and business-minded of the three Jackson children.

Beyond his personal life, Prince remains deeply committed to his philanthropic work. He founded the Heal Los Angeles Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of children in the city by focusing on education, combating child abuse, and addressing homelessness. His work with the foundation is a direct continuation of his father's own humanitarian efforts, echoing the spirit of Michael Jackson’s iconic "Heal the World" message. He also maintains a strong passion for motorcycles and hosts a popular YouTube channel focused on bike reviews and rides, showcasing his life outside of the family's legendary fame.

Paris Jackson: A Multi-Hyphenate Star in Music and Fashion

Paris Jackson has fully embraced the entertainment world, carving out a successful and authentic career across multiple artistic platforms. She is arguably the most visible of the siblings, regularly appearing in high-profile modeling campaigns, acting roles, and as a signed musician.

In 2025, Paris continued to be a fixture in the high-fashion world, attending major events like Paris Fashion Week and collaborating with top designers. Her distinctive bohemian style, striking looks, and extensive collection of tattoos have made her a sought-after model and a muse for several major brands.

However, her primary passion remains music. As a singer-songwriter, Paris has released several EPs and singles, showcasing a raw, folk-rock sound that is distinctly different from her father’s pop and R&B roots. Her music explores themes of vulnerability, mental health, and personal growth, offering a candid glimpse into her life. Her recent work, signed to both Republic Records and Capitol Records, has been critically praised for its lyrical depth and authenticity, further establishing her as a serious artist and not just a celebrity child.

Bigi Jackson's Legal Battle: Protecting the Estate's Finances

The youngest sibling, Prince Michael Jackson II, who now goes by Bigi, has always maintained the most intensely private life. However, his name was thrust into the headlines in late 2025 over a significant legal dispute involving the management of the Michael Jackson Estate and his grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

The core of the issue revolves around the sale of a significant portion of Michael Jackson’s music catalog and intellectual property, a deal which the Estate co-executors approved. Katherine Jackson opposed this sale and attempted to appeal the court's decision, a move that requires substantial funding from the Estate.

Bigi, who has historically sided with the Estate’s co-executors on financial and business matters, filed an injunction to prevent his grandmother from using the Estate’s funds to pay for her ongoing legal appeal. Bigi's legal team argued that the appeal was unlikely to succeed and that spending Estate money on it would be a misuse of the funds intended for the beneficiaries. This legal action highlights the complexity and ongoing tension surrounding the management of Michael Jackson's vast financial legacy, pitting Bigi against his own grandmother in a bid to protect the financial stability of the trust for all beneficiaries.

Despite the legal drama, Bigi continues to pursue his passion for filmmaking. He lives in a custom-built, private home in Calabasas, California, a property he purchased shortly after turning 18. He has also used his platform to advocate for environmental causes, though he does so with minimal public fanfare, preferring to operate outside of the constant media scrutiny that follows the Jackson family name.

The Continuing Legacy and Untold Fortunes

The lives of Michael Jackson’s kids are a compelling mix of extreme privilege, intense public scrutiny, and a deep-seated desire to honor their father's memory. The three siblings—Prince, Paris, and Bigi—share a close bond, often appearing together to support each other's ventures, such as the Heal Los Angeles Foundation events or Paris’s music releases. Their collective efforts ensure that the legacy of the King of Pop remains vibrant and relevant for a new generation.

The ongoing legal battles and the management of the trust funds serve as a constant reminder of the immense financial and cultural empire Michael Jackson left behind. Entity names like The Michael Jackson Estate, Neverland Ranch, and The King of Pop's Catalog are not just historical references; they are active, complex entities that continue to shape the day-to-day lives and future fortunes of Prince, Paris, and Bigi. Their individual success—in philanthropy, entertainment, and private life—demonstrates a resilience and determination to forge identities independent of their iconic parent, all while fiercely guarding the integrity of the Jackson name.
