Paris Jackson Reunites With Mom Debbie Rowe in Rare Family Photos
For Paris Jackson, a glance at mom Debbie Rowe is like looking at the woman in the mirror.
In fact, the 28-year-old daughter of the late Michael Jackson noted their uncanny resemblance while sharing rare family photos in a sweet Mother's Day tribute.
As Paris wrote on her Instagram Stories May 10, "Happy mothers day to the lady they used for my template during the cloning process."
One image showed Paris and Debbie—both with blue eyes and dirty blonde hair—posing for the camera, while they're pictured with similar smiles in another. The "Let Down" singer also posted a photo from their family reunion earlier this year, with wearing a red jacket featuring a Navajo-inspired pattern while Debbie sported a coordinating plaid flannel.
Though they’ve formed a bond in recent years, that did take time to develop. After all, she and her brothers Prince Jackson, 29, and Bigi "Blanket" Jackson, 24, were primarily raised by their dad Michael until his death in 2009 at age 50.
"When I was really, really young, my mom didn’t exist,” Paris recalled in a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone, explaining that she started asking Michael about her biological mother when she realized that "a man can’t birth a child."

The model continued, "By the time my mom came into my life, it wasn’t a ‘mommy’ thing. It’s more of an adult relationship."
That's why she considers Debbie, 67, to be more of a "friend" than a parent.
"It's cool," Paris shared 2021 appearance on Red Table Talk. "Getting to know her, seeing how similar we are, getting into what kind of music she likes—and she really likes country and folk."

She added, "We look a lot alike. It's just cool having her as a friend. It's very chill, which I love. It's the perfect word to describe it."
