The king of pop Jackson Family Legacy (2009–2026)
Introduction For more than five decades, the Jackson family has been one of the most influential dynasties in entertainment history. From the rise of The Jackson 5 in the late 1960s to global solo careers, their cultural impact spans music, film, modeling, and philanthropy. Following the passing of Michael Jackson in 2009, the family entered a new era focused on preserving its legacy while embracing generational growth.

Janet Jackson (b. 1966) Janet Jackson has balanced a highly successful global music career with motherhood. She has one child, Eissa Al Mana (b. 2017), and continues to influence music, acting, and advocacy projects worldwide. Michael Jackson (1958–2009) Michael Jackson’s children — Prince Michael Jackson (b. 1997), Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson (b. 1998), and Prince Michael Jackson II “Bigi” (b. 2002) — have gradually stepped into public life. They are involved in philanthropy, music, modeling, and film while maintaining privacy in their personal lives. The Third & Fourth Generations (2026) By 2026, the Jackson family spans over 20 children of the original siblings, dozens of grandchildren, and a growing fourth generation. The family’s influence continues across music, film, modeling, activism, and private business, maintaining recognition worldwide while nurturing the next generation of talent. The Jackson Family Today Seventeen years after Michael Jackson’s passing, the Jackson family remains a global cultural presence. While earlier decades were defined by intense media exposure, today’s family blends public careers with private development. Each sibling branch contributes to a multigenerational legacy, from Motown origins to modern film projects, demonstrating resilience, creativity, and unity across four generations.
