Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson’s ex-wife and mother of his two eldest children, Prince and Paris, was recently seen in Los Angeles, keeping a low profile. Her quiet appearance comes amid renewed public interest following Leaving Neverland 2, a documentary revisiting abuse allegations against Jackson.
Rowe, a former nurse, married Jackson in 1996 and gave him full custody of their kids after their 1999 divorce. Years later, she reconnected with daughter Paris, who now considers their bond more like a close friendship, united by their shared love of music.
Rowe has admitted feeling some guilt over Jackson’s addiction, having once worked for his dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein, who was known for overprescribing medications. Though not involved in the latest documentary, her connection to Jackson keeps her in the public eye.
Today, Rowe lives a quieter life, focusing on family—especially her evolving relationship with Paris—as she steps away from the chaos of the past.
