Michael Jackson’s Daughter Breaks Her Silence: “My Dad Used to…”

After years of maintaining a relatively private stance regarding her father, Paris Jackson, the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, has finally opened up about her memories of him. In a recent heartfelt interview, Paris shared touching insights into her relationship with her late father, revealing the deep bond they shared and how his teachings continue to influence her life today.

“My dad used to tell me that kindness was the most important thing in the world,” Paris began, her voice filled with emotion. “He taught me to see the good in people, to always stay humble, and to never judge anyone without understanding their story.” These words offer a glimpse into Michael Jackson’s personal values — values he passed down to his children far away from the spotlight.

Growing up as the child of the world’s biggest pop star was far from ordinary. Paris spoke about how Michael tried to give her and her brothers, Prince and Blanket, as normal a childhood as possible. Despite his fame, he shielded them from the public eye, often making them wear masks in public to maintain their privacy. At the time, Paris said she found it strange, but as she grew older, she realized how necessary it was. "He just wanted to protect us," she said softly.

Paris also shared beautiful memories of simple moments they spent together. “My dad used to wake us up early in the morning just to watch the sunrise," she recalled. "He said it was important to appreciate the beauty in life, to take a moment to be thankful.” These memories paint a picture of Michael not just as a global superstar but as a loving, present father who cherished small moments with his children.

In addition to emotional memories, Paris revealed how her father encouraged her creativity. "He used to sit with me and draw, sing, and even teach me how to write songs," she said. "He always supported my artistic side. He believed that creativity was a gift to be nurtured." Today, as a singer, model, and actress, Paris credits much of her success to the foundation her father laid during her childhood.

However, not all memories were without sadness. Paris admitted that dealing with the loss of her father at such a young age was incredibly difficult. Michael Jackson passed away in 2009 when Paris was just 11 years old. "It felt like the whole world had turned upside down," she confessed. "But I remember what he used to say: ‘Smile, even when it hurts. Smile because you are blessed to have loved and been loved.’"

Now 27, Paris has stepped out of her father’s immense shadow and built an identity of her own, but she carries his lessons with her everywhere she goes. She speaks of him not as the King of Pop but as a father who was gentle, wise, and endlessly loving.

Breaking her silence, Paris has not only honored her father’s memory but also given the world a rare and beautiful glimpse into the man behind the fame. Her words remind fans that Michael Jackson’s greatest role was perhaps not on the stage, but at home, as a devoted and loving father.
