She’s Mommy Weirdest.
Debbie Rowe, the nurse who married Michael Jackson in 1996 and bore two of his three kids in a weird $8 million arrangement, is developing a bond with Jacko’s daughter, Paris.
Family members say the 15-year-old even wants to live with her mother.
Rowe, 54, owns a farm in the Antelope Valley near Palmdale, Calif., where Paris has been visiting, riding horses, and recently stayed overnight.
Rowe gave birth to Prince and Paris, and later agreed to relinquish her parental rights for an $8 million payout.
Mother and daughter initially began spending brief periods of time together after Child Protective Services descended upon the Jackson family compound in Encino shortly after Jacko’s death in 2009 to check on the welfare of the children. But it was in 2011 that the pair ramped up their phone conversations.
“They talked about the weather, they talked about Neverland and the various places they’ve been to around the world,” the source said. “It was delicate, I’m sure, for Debbie, who let Paris do most of the talking. Now, it’s both of them; they gab a lot.”
The pair has even chuckled about the time when Paris and her siblings were forced to wear masks in public. Rowe admitted it was her idea because she feared someone would try to kidnap them if they revealed their faces.
Sometimes now they even wear matching outfits.
“They talk about animals. Michael loved animals, so it’s one of those things that they all have in common. They talk about show business, and play games of ‘What would daddy do.’”
“Paris misses her dad so much, so I think her wanting to be close to her mother is a natural thing,” the family source said. “She has said as much.”
The Post has also learned that Paris has asked her grandmother, Katherine, to make provisions to staff the famed but dilapidated Neverland Ranch so she and Rowe could spend a week there this summer.
“Paris is hopeful that Prince and [Michael’s youngest child] Blanket will come along, as well, so that they all can feel even closer to their dad,” the source said. However, those same sources told The Post that Prince, 16, Rowe’s oldest child with Jacko, remains aloof.
“There are some issues, and Prince definitely has some questions,” a family source said. “There are ordinary things, such as why she was reluctant to step in before? Why she signed them away like they were objects? Prince also wonders whether she is like so many others who see them as a meal ticket either for money or fame.”
Despite recent reports that claimed Prince is okay with the reunion, sources told The Post that he is not. “He goes out of his way not to be a part of whatever Debbie and his sister are doing,” the source said.
Jacko’s youngest child, Blanket, 10, has a different mother, who has never been identified. All three children currently live with their grandmother and guardian, Katherine, at a rented mansion in Calabasas, while their Encino home is under renovation. Prince is said to be dating the young Kuwaiti princess, Remi Alfalah, whose family has a net worth north of $400 million.
While Rowe’s motives may be in question, one concern isn’t money. In addition to her Jacko payout, her millionaire stepdad owns property in Malibu and she is a private nurse in Beverly Hills.
Rowe was introduced to Jacko in 1995 by the singer’s dermatologist, Arnold Klein. Jacko and former wife Lisa Marie were divorcing and the “Thriller” singer confided to Klein how desperately he wanted children. Klein told his star patient about Rowe and assured Jacko that she could be trusted.
They married a year later in Australia, when Rowe was six months pregnant with Prince.
The pop star was in the region to seal a business deal with the Saudi Prince, Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Alwaleed, when it was revealed that Rowe was expecting his child.
Jacko and the prince were forming a venture called, “Kingdom Entertainment.” .Fearing he would insult Alwaleed and the Arab culture by being an un-wed father, Jacko summoned Rowe Down Under for a brief wedding ceremony which concluded with the newlyweds sealing the nuptials with a slight peck on the cheek.
The freshly married couple, however, spent the night in separate hotel suites and, shortly afterwards, Rowe returned to California.
“Did you think there would be a honeymoon? This was a marriage of convenience,” the source said. “There was never any, ‘I love you,’ no sex, nothing like that. It was business only and ironclad confidential agreements.”
