Blanket has been keeping a low profile since his father died in June 2009. His big sister Paris Jackson has been in the headlines many times in the past due to a previous drug addiction and attempted suicide.
She was one of the first people to wish Blanket happy birthday.
"My little brother is a legal adult today. what the f**k. i used to change his diapers. this is such a trip.. proud of the handsome, intelligent, insightful, funny, and kind young man he has become. he likes privacy so that’s all i gotta say. hbd lil bro," she wrote on Instagram.
Michael Jackson's eldest son, Michael Joseph 'Prince' Jackson Jr, graduated from Loyola Marymount University Cum Laude in 2019. He majored in business with a focus on entrepreneurship.
The siblings remain close following their father's death and are constantly supporting each other.
Prince showed his sister Paris and her band, The Soundflowers, some love on Instagram.
