If there’s one thing we absolutely adore to see: it’s a strong sibling bond. Too often, we hear about and see estranged Hollywood-based family members bickering with their A-list siblings; and it’s such a shame. However, the Jackson family is the exact opposite.
Michael Jackson welcomed three children in his lifetime: Michael Joseph Jr. (mainly known as “Prince”), born Feb 13, 1997, Paris-Michael Katherine, born April 3, 1998, and Prince Michael II (mainly known as “Bigi”), born Feb 21, 2002. In an episode of Unfiltered, the three of them also said they consider Omer Bhatti to be their oldest brother. Bhatti’s mother was hired as their nanny when they were very young, and he’s been around the Jackson family since he was a baby, quickly becoming the eldest sibling.
Now, Paris is arguably the most active on social media, and she never misses an opportunity to show the world how much she loves her brothers. While Bigi is extremely private and Bhatti also keeps his public life on the down-low, she and Prince always show their strong sibling bond.
In a rare interview with the YouTube channel Tuna on Toast with Stryker, she talked about how close she and Prince are in real life, saying, they were “raised like twins.” She added, “We’re so close in age, we grew up with the same teacher through each grade. [We were] treated like twins, so I think we have a bit of telepathy there.”
From red-carpet events to matching tattoos, these two are some of the sweetest siblings in Hollywood. For Prince’s birthday today, let’s check out our favorite, sweetest moments between Paris and Prince over the years.

Thick as Thieves (2010)
“When we were growing up, my father would say, ‘You know, we could have nothing but you look around in this room — you brother, your sister and me — that’s all you’ll ever have.’ And that always stuck with my siblings and I,” Prince said to Good Morning Britain back in 2021. “We have such a close relationship.”
Opposites Growing Up (2012)
Their older brother Omer Bhatti told Unfilteredabout Paris and Prince’s dynamic as kids. “Prince and Paris were pretty different when they were little, Paris was definitely a rebel, always more rebellious than Prince,” he said. “Prince is always way more in line, compared to Paris, and he would also get after her…he would see that he was always that big brother, trying to tell her right from wrong.”
Halloween Pals (2017)
These two never miss an opportunity to let their wild sides out on Halloween! While they don’t coordinate, they always get so excited about letting their personalities shine on the red carpet.
Protective Big Bro (2017)
Prince has said in past interviews that he always feels as though he should be the one to protect his younger siblings. “The way we were raised, me being the oldest, I should be the one that’s protecting the group,” he said to E News. So it’s no wonder why they’re holding hands on the red carpet, he wants her to know he’s there to look after her!

Going All Out for Halloween (2021)
These two always go all out for the Thriller Night party, and this look they both rocked may be our favorite.
Perfect Public Speaker Duo (2022)
After Paris and her brother went on stage at the Tony Awards, she revealed who the public speaker is to Tuna on Toast with Stryker. “I always love sharing the stage with my brother, too. He’s a lot better at public speaking than me,” she said.
Supporting Their Papa (2022)
Prince and Paris rarely made red carpet appearances in general, especially together. But if it has something to do with their papa, the late Michael Jackson, then they make sure to show their support (obviously in style!)
Tony Twosome (2022)
During the 2022 Tony Awards, Prince and Paris got to speak on behalf of the musical about their father called MJ. Prince started by saying, “A lot of people seem to think our dad changed popular music forever — and who are we to disagree? But what people may not know is he loved musicals, on film and on the stage. That’s why we are so incredibly honored to introduce the night’s first nominee for best musical, MJ, which, using many of his iconic hits, looks at the complexities and brilliance of our father’s process.”
Paris chimed in, saying: “This number showcases that creative process as he builds a dance routine, step by unforgettable step, to one of his best-loved hits. Drawing on some of the influences who helped inspire his signature style.”
She added, “So it is our great honor to introduce Tony nominee Myles Frost and the remarkable cast of MJ.”
Horror Fans (2022)
Another cool thing about these two is that the only person that’s ever been able to spook Paris is her big bro! In a rare interview with the YouTube channel Tuna on Toast with Stryker,she said, “The only person that’s been able to properly scare me is my brother (Prince).”
