2002 Michael Jackson a Daddy Again LOUISE A. BARILE Singer and pop peculiarity Michael Jackson has quietly added a baby boy to his brood, PEOPLE reports in its latest issue. The singer brought the 6-month-old baby backstage at Siegfried and Roy´s Las Vegas show on July 30, along with his other two children, Prince Michael, 5, and daughter Paris, 4. "The baby was a surprise," a source told PEOPLE. "(Jackson) said, ´This is my third child.´" Equally surprising is the baby´s name. PEOPLE has learned that Jackson has been introducing the tot as "Prince Michael II," or simply "No. 3." The identity of the child´s mother (sources tell PEOPLE that the child was not adopted and was conceived "the natural way") remains another mystery. Friends say Jackson´s ex-wife Deborah Rowe, 43, a former dermatologist´s assistant and the mother of Jackson´s older children, is a distinct possibility, according to PEOPLE. Rowe was divorced from Jackson in 1999 after three years of marriage. The new baby comes at a professionally difficult time for Jackson, who turns 44 on August 29. His most recent album "Invincible," released last November on Sony Music´s Epic label, sold just 2 million copies in the U.S. and fared poorly overseas. Earlier this summer, Jackson waged a war against Sony, blaming the album´s performance on the label and its chief, Tommy Mottola. However difficult his recent business dealings, sources tell PEOPLE that the pop star, who recently made a self-deprecating cameo appearance in "Men In Black II," is very happy with his growing family. Jackson "is extremely impressive as a father," producer Gary Pudney tells PEOPLE. "He had a very lonely childhood. His motivation in having children is partly because of that but mainly because he loves them."
