Rare sighting: Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson's ex-wife, seen at 67 in California
Debbie Rowe, who was married to Michael Jackson and is the mother of his two eldest children, was recently spotted in public—a rare occurrence as she usually lives a reclusive life.
Debbie Rowe, 67, best known as the former wife of pop icon Michael Jackson, was recently seen running errands in California. Her public appearance drew attention because Rowe rarely steps out and typically leads a quiet life away from the media spotlight.
Rowe married Jackson in 1996. The couple had two children together: son Prince Michael Jackson I (known as Prince) and daughter Paris Jackson. Their marriage ended in 2000, and after the divorce, Jackson was granted full custody of the children. Following the split, Rowe largely avoided the public eye and was hardly seen for many years.
Over time, Rowe's relationship with her daughter Paris has improved. Paris has said in an interview that she reconnected with her mother as an adult and developed a more mature, friendship-like bond. She noted that it's nice to get to know her mother and see how similar they are, adding that Rowe now feels like a friend.
In 2016, Rowe was diagnosed with breast cancer. She successfully recovered, and during her treatment and recovery, her daughter Paris was a strong source of support.
