Bigi Jackson, the youngest child of Michael Jackson, was recently spotted picking up lunch from Sharky’s restaurant in Calabasas, California. According to a report on Page Six, on his recent outing, Bigi picked up some Mexican food. He opted for a casual look that included a faded grey Avengers T-shirt paired with green athletic shorts. Completing his outfit were black sneakers and white crew socks. His brunette hair was styled with a middle part and tucked behind his ears. Bigi also sported facial hair during this outing.

Unlike his siblings, who are often in the spotlight, Bigi has maintained a more private life. This lunch marks a rare public sighting for him, following his last appearance three months ago when he was seen running errands at a local Target. He was seen donning a similar casual outfit at that time.
Despite his preference for privacy, Bigi did join his siblings to celebrate what would have been Michael Jackson’s 65th birthday in August 2023. During the celebration at Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, they hosted a Q&A session for fans, connecting with the audience at the venue where the Cirque du Soleil show, Michael Jackson ONE, is performed.
Bigi, who changed his name from Blanket in 2015, was given the nickname by his father, who used the term as a metaphor for love and care. In an old interview, Michael explained, “I say ‘You should blanket him, you should blanket her with something. A blanket is a blessing, it’s a way of showing love and caring.”
When Bigi was nine months old, Michael drew criticism for holding his son over a balcony in Berlin, covering his face with a towel to show him off to fans. Michael intended to unveil Bigi in a Lion King-style announcement but faced backlash.
“I offer no excuses for what happened. I made a terrible mistake. I got caught up in the excitement of the moment. I would never intentionally endanger the lives of my children,” he said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times.
Bigi, 22, was born on February 21, 2002, through an unidentified surrogate. His older siblings are Paris, 26, and Prince, 27, who Michael had with his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe.
Michael Jackson passed away in 2009.
