Jacko's love child surfaces

Omer Bhatti, 25, is believed to be born following Jackson’s brief affair with his

, who is now married to the pop star’s former Pakistani driver.

Pia and her Pakistani husband Riz, who are in their late 40s, worked for Jackson in the US before returning to Norway in early 80s.

Jackson, who died last month aged 50, is said to have told his friends in 2004 that Bhatti was born following a one-night stand in 1984, Sun reported.

Now, his alleged son is reportedly planning to undergo a DNA test to discover the truth.
Bhatti, 25, who has an uncanny resemblance to the pop star, was spotted sitting alongside Jackson’s family in the front row at the memorial, fuelling speculations about his relationship with the pop star.

Riz confirmed that Bhatti sat in the front row at Jackson’s service. “Yeah, yeah, I know because I was watching. I told my wife, ‘Just wait until the press see this. It’s not a small thing’.” 

Riz refused to confirm or deny that Bhatti was Jackson’s son. He told reporters: “Make what you like. I don’t want to discuss anything.”

Jackson is believed to have sent two employees to Oslo to help his former nanny raise Bhatti after he was born.

Jackson first met his love child in 1996 in a hotel in Tunisia. Bhatti was 12-year-old at that time. The pop star and his alleged child started appearing in the public together soon after their first meeting and they even performed together.

Bhatti was also present when police raided Jackson’s Neverland ranch in 1993 to investigate child abuse charges. Jackson remained close to his son right until his death on June 25, the newspaper said.
