Who Is TJ Jackson?

TJ is more than just the King of Pop's nephew. Along with his brothers Taj and Taryll, they started the R&B group 3T which became an international sensation in the '90s. They were initially offered a deal from Motown Records which was the same label that launched the Jackson 5. However, Michael advised them to "enjoy your youth," so they put it off until their late teens. "We were chomping at the bit for like three, four years to release music," said the Anything singer. "So we actually held back, but looking back, I'm happy and proud of it because I did get to experience my youth and not have to go from show to show at 12, 13 years old. It all worked out in the end."

In 1995, the trio signed to Michael's MJJ Records and released their debut album, Brotherhood. Their track Anything was a huge success that placed No. 15 on Billboard's Hot 100 and No. 2 in the UK. By 1996, they were the biggest-selling group in Europe after Spice Girls. "My grandmother told us that my grandfather was crying," TJ said of their first headlining act at Wembley Arena in London. "And just me thinking about my grandfather, Joe Jackson, crying — it's something I can't even think of. She asked him, 'Why are you crying?' He said, 'We've come a long way.' That is so powerful. There was just a lot of pride."

Still, he admitted that they felt pressured by the success of their aunts and uncles. "We were struggling because we're like, 'We're not there yet. You know, we're not there,'" TJ said of that time. "Michael was doing stadiums and Janet was breaking records. What were we doing? We were getting in the top five, but we weren't at number one like we were supposed to be." But Michael told them: "Slow down, slow down. You guys are doing so well. Be proud of it. Appreciate it."

Inside TJ Jackson & Kim Kardashian's Relationship

According to Kim's nanny, TJ was very respectful of Kim when they were dating from 1994 to 1996. "I really liked TJ," Pam Behan told Scandal Made Me Famous. "He was kind of on the quiet, shy side, always very nice and polite. A good-looking kid, and as far as I could ever see, he treated Kim with great respect." Pam added that the couple went to Michael's Neverland ranch a couple times. "I know that she went to the Neverland Ranch with him a time or two," she remembered. Kardashian also called it "the most magical place on earth."

"That was the most magical place on earth. I had my birthday at Neverland Ranch. Who else can say that?" Kim recalled. "When you drove up there were baby elephants and chimpanzees in overalls, and there was all the rides. It was everything you can possibly imagine. The memories I have from that place will last for the rest of my life." At age 14, Kim told her mom, Kris Jenner about wanting to lose her virginity to then-16-year-old TJ. "When I did want to have sex the first time I was almost 15," the reality star told Oprah Winfrey. "I was like, 'I think I'm going to, or I want to,' and [Kris] was like, 'OK, so this is what we're gonna do, we're gonna put you on birth control,' and she was like, really open and honest with me."

Is TJ Jackson Married Now?

TJ is now married to Frances Casey. They have four children together: Royal, Dee Dee, Jo Jo, and Rio. He also has two stepchildren, Sage and Lexci. In 2012, along with his grandmother Katherine Jackson, TJ was also granted co-guardianship over Michael's children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket. "I am, and have been, very close with my grandson TJ and have relied on him to help me raise Prince, Paris and Blanket since the death of their father," said the matriarch at the time.

"While I was away, I assumed that (the children) would be secure and safe in the hands of the person who had essentially been acting as an informal co-guardian on many matters with me since my appointment as guardian," she continued. But in 2017, Katherine resigned from being co-guardian and gave sole custody of then-15-year-old Blanket to TJ.
