It was announced she was pregnant in 1996, and the two were later married on November 14, 1996, in Sydney. They had two children together, son Prince Michael Jackson (born February 13, 1997) and daughter Paris Katherine Jackson (born April 3, 1998).[3] The couple divorced on October 8, 1999, with Rowe giving full custody rights of the children to Jackson.
Following Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, several news media reported about TMZ's claims that Rowe was not the biological mother of the children, but instead a surrogate mother.[4][5] This was later denied by Rowe's lawyer, Marta Almli.[6][7]
It was reported by TMZ and US Weekly,[8][9] who both claimed to have received the information through multiple insiders, that Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein of Los Angeles, is the biological father of the two children.[8] Klein's attorney, Richard Charnley, issued a statement "Because of patient confidentiality, Dr. Klein will make no statement on any reports or allegations."[7]
