The King of Pop is a pop!
Megastar Michael Jackson and his wife, Debbie Rowe, recently became the proud parents of a baby boy. The child was born on Feb. 13 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, according to the entertainer's publicist.
Jackson expressed great joy in the birth of his son. "Words can't describe how I feel," he said. "I have been blessed beyond comprehension, and I will work tirelessly at being the best father that I can possibly be."
Jackson hopes that fans and media understand that this is a private family moment. "I appreciate that my fans are elated, but I hope that everyone respects the privacy that Debbie and I want and need for our son. I grew up in a 'fish bowl,' and I will not allow that to happen to my child. Please respect our wishes and give my son his privacy."
