For years there has been talk of a love child that Michael Jackson kept a secret: Omer Bhatti, a Norweigian entertainer had been allegedly kept under wraps by Michael. The late King of Pop only told close friends about his existence. Now the jig is up, and Bhatti, who has moved in to the Jackson's California compound, is telling Michael's three youngest that he was sent by his dad to raise his siblings.

The young man, who recently changed his name to Omer Michael Bhatti, is slowly but surely winning over at least one of Michael's children, 8-year-old Prince Michael II aka Blanket. According to RadarOnline, a source revealed that the little guy is quite taken with his newfound father figure.

Since Michael Jackson's sudden death last June, Jackson clan matriarch Katherine has been holding down the fort. The 79-year-old woman has cared for Michael's children and is, in fact, their legal guardian.

Bhatti, a rapper/dancer, first met his dad in Tunisia back in 1996, when he, his mom (Pia) and step-dad (Riz) were on holiday. Bhatti blew Michael away with his awe-inspiring dance moves and voice. The young boy and Michael soon became "best friends."

Not a year later, Michael invited the family to stay with him at his ranch, where he employed Pia as a nanny and her husband as a driver. Michael allegedly reaffirmed to his closest friends that he was, in fact, Bhatti's biological father. Apparently, Michael admitted to having a one-night stand with Pia in 1984, which produced the 25-year-old.

It was reported last year, though, that Bhatti denied Michael was his father upon receiving the news of his untimely death.
