One of Michael Jackson's brothers, Tito, has insisted the star is the biological father of his three children.
Various media reports have questioned whether Jackson actually fathered Prince Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II, also known as Blanket.
But Tito insisted the star, who died on June 25, was the biological parent.
“Blanket is Michael's, I can tell. Those eyes don't lie. Them eyes are Michael over again. I see a lot of Michael in him,” he told the Daily Mirror.
Jackson's youngest child was born to an unidentified surrogate mother, while Prince and Paris were born to his ex-wife Debbie Rowe.
Tito said Jackson was also the biological father of his two eldest children, despite their apparent white skin colour
“Paris and Prince are Michael's children. Yes they are. Just because they look white doesn't mean they are not his,” he said.
"I have an uncle who is married to a white girl and they have three kids. Two of them are white and one is black."
As Entertainmentwise reported earlier, there are claims today that Jackson also fathered a secret love child.
Michael Jackson - RIP
Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. He was the seventh child of nine children to Joseph and Katherine Jackson and was born into a typical working class family. The city of Gary is 25 miles from downtown Chicago and is famous for its massive steel industry. It took its name from the chairman of U.S. Steel, Elbert H Gary, and is nicknamed 'City of Century' – we're hoping for ironic reasons. (Image: WENN.com)
