Another anniversary, another drama - Michael Jackson confessed another man fathered his children, Paris and Prince according to a close friend. But we have always known that.

A friend of Michael Jackson has claimed he is able to confirm rumours that children Paris and Prince were fathered by British actor Mark Lester.

Jason Pfeiffer, said to be a close friend of the King of Pop, has claimed that Jackson made the startling confession just a few months before he died on 25 June 2009. 

Lester, who made his name in the 1969 film version of Oliver! has long been rumoured to be the father of Jackson's children.

Pfeiffer has also claimed that Jackson wanted Prince and Paris's mother Debbie Rowe to have no part in their lives, saying he was 'mom and dad' to his children.

Pfeiffer, 39, told the Sunday Mirror: 'One day as we walked about his children and Debbie Rowe, he just came out and said that his children were actually fathered by Mark.' 

He added: 'Michael felt Mark was one of his closest friends. He said he was a great actor and very good man. He mentioned that he had taken several people’s sperm and decided on Mark.'

Michael Jackson had his two eldest children with Debbie Rowe while his son Blanket was born to an anonymous surrogate mother.

Pfeiffer has claimed how Jackson confided in him during a visit to Arnold Klein's medical clinic in Beverly Hills in 2009.

His friend believes that Jackson made the confession for a reason, as four months later he died, aged 50, after his doctor Conrad Murray reportedly gave him a fatal dose of anesthetic Propofol.

Oh for crying out loud, he was Black and they are REAL White. Open your eyes and see. But he was their father. Sperm doesn't make a father, it only produces a children.
