Janet Jackson shares family snap |
Paris(s) The meeting
Fans have been waiting for a photo like this for years: Janet Jackson (56) and her niece Paris Jackson (24) posed together at Paris Fashion Week over the weekend!
“So nice to see my beautiful niece,” Janet Jackson wrote on an Instagram post. Pictured: Michael Jackson’s sister and daughter (†50). Shoulder to shoulder on a chic sofa, no sheet of paper fits between the two women.
What unites the Jackson ladies is their sense of fashion: Janet looks chic in a gray blazer and tie. Paris in a sexy boho look with a cream-colored lace top and brown over-the-knee boots.
Why is the photo a small sensation? As several media reported, there was a violent family dispute in 2012 over the will of Michael Jackson, who died on June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles. Noisy “ MirrorIn his will, the King of Pop named his mother, children and charitable organizations as heirs to his entire fortune.
The rest of the family didn’t like it at all. Some of the King of Pop’s siblings even contested the will at the time.
Since then, Jacko’s children have been at odds with his siblings. After Michael’s death, Paris and her two brothers, Prince, 25, and Blanket, 20, were raised by their grandmother, Katherine Jackson, 92.
Paris, in particular, seemed to distance herself from her famous aunt, Janet Jackson. When Janet performed at the Billboard Music Awards in 2015, the whole family was there — except for Paris. Some fans therefore suspected that the two have no contact.
While the famous family has never really commented on the alleged drama that followed Jacko’s tragic death, Paris wrote following the Billboard Awards Instagram: “Dear social media followers, friends, stalkers, fans, haters, and other moonwalkers: Please don’t say/demand/try to influence how I manage my relationships with the people in my life, especially my family.”
He continued: “Every family has its moments of trauma, heartbreak, breakup, love, unity, belonging, everything. EVERY FAMILY. My family in particular and many others. Just that our drama is being shared globally through the media.”
Tensions seem to have eased now. The fans are also happy because: In the comments on the latest photo of Janet and Paris, the users write, for example: “It’s nice that you’ve reconciled”, “I’ve waited so long for this moment” and “I’m so happy, that you met there and spent time together!”
