TMZ has learned from inside sources that all three of Michael Jackson’s kids were conceived in vitro. Michael’s sperm and Debbie’s eggs were not even used in the process. Debbie was only the surrogate for Michael Jr. and Paris. Prince Michael III was from a different surrogate all together who never knew the identity of the “receiving parent.” It’s not even known if Michael had any part in choosing the sperm or the egg donor. If you’re wondering how this would effect Debbie’s custody case,

Although Rowe is not the biological mother, it’s not a slam dunk that she would lose a custody battle. This type of case has never been litigated in California courts. Since Rowe was married to Jackson when Michael Jr. and Paris were born, there’s a presumption that she’s the biological parent. That presumption can be rebutted by other evidence.

All three kids must have secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. They probably did that thing where they turned around, clasped their hands together and mouthed “Thank you God.”
