Quite frankly, there's an alarming number of celebrities getting involved with their children's nanny. What's the deal, folks?
Not to anybody's surprise, Michael Jackson has recently added himself to the list. Perhaps hoping it will bring him closer to the kids in a weird, disturbing way we're all too familiar with.
The King Of Pop is reportedly planning to marry his children's nanny.
The singer recently settled the custody battle with his ex-wife, and mother of his two eldest children, Debbie Rowe, and is now free to move on with wedding plans, according to Britain's Daily Star newspaper.
The 48-year-old is currently living in Ireland with 39-year-old nanny Grace Rwaramba who his children reportedly refer to as "mum (sic)."
Jacko's former nurse Debbie Rowe is the mother of two eldest children, nine-year-old Prince Michael and eight-year-old Paris, and agreed to let him raise them when their marriage ended. But this year she claimed Jackson was an unfit parent and filed for custody of the kids.
Recently, however, Rowe, 48, agreed to let him keep Paris and Prince Michael in return for over $500,000 a year.
Jackson also has a third child, four-year-old Prince Michael II, aka Blanket.

That Nanny Has no right to tell The kids real Mother She Can't tell them who she is.
Grace Is JUST their nanny NOT their mother. Those kids need to be taken away!
That Enviroment is bad for them.

Grace is more of a mother to them than Debbie will ever be- end of.
And also, how can you say all theree have both white parents? When Debbie wanted those kids she would have added that he wasn't their father, however she maintained he was. also, you obviously haven't seen blanket upclose at the age he is now..he is obviously MJ's son..

I think Debbie was really a surrogate. I saw some of her interviews in the press. Michael did an interview with a reputable magazine Ebony, introducing Lisa Marie and explaining in detail how they met. Then he showed some pictures too. Ebony is no tabloid!
I also saw Michael on a tabloid cover with Lisa Marie after they divorced. I think he had married Debbie too. I wonder what that was all about. I mean why was he with his first wife on the cover of a tabloid after he had remarried? I haven't seen Michael's children up close to see if they look like him.

Well you know what regardless of what is believed and or said Michael is a good parent and I'm 21 and African American and one of his die hard fans.tell the truth I want the world to know that if he wanted more children I would have them but under some conditions. Michael and I would have to be physically intimate form a very good relationship/friendship, and i will not be artificially insiminated.and if we did get married or did not then I would have partial custody of the children I have for him because I believe that it is important for children to have their birth mother and father in their life. ~The Beautiful One

She is not just 'the nanny' she is the governess. She is the only mother figure that Michael's children know, and she takes care of him just as much as he does. She is black, Michael is black, so regardless of the debate on whether his kids are biological or not, they're black because they have black parents.
You cannot just 'take the kids away from him'. Take them away and give them to whom?! You cannot just take children away from their home just b/c some strange sees the parent unfit. Anyone who ever encounters the family say they are very polite and no different than any kids their age. It is CRUEL for you take such young children away from their parents. Unless you know them personally, sat down with them, spoke to them, I suggest that no one has the right to criticize.
