He was born on February 21st, 2002, making the boy 23 years old.

Michael tried to squash the false rumours about the boy's parentage by publicly stating the boy was born via surrogacy.

Are Michael Jackson’s kids biologically related to him?

The short answer is yes, all three of his children are biologically related to him.Whilst critics often come for the children’s appearance, they are his own children.
