Rowe and Jackson were mar ried in 1996 in Sydney, Australia, after they announced that Rowe, who worked as a nurse for Jackson’s plastic sur geon, was carrying the pop star’s child. She gave birth to a son. Prince Michael, who recently turned 7, and the couple later had a daughter, Paris, who is 5 or 6. Jackson has a third child. Prince Michael II, who is believed to be about 10 months old, but he has not disclosed the identity of that boy’s mother. It was Prince Michael II Jackson made headlines with last year when he dangled him from the balcony of a Berlin hotel for fans to see. The Jackson- Rowe marriage ended in 1999 after Rowe filed for divorce, citing irreconcil able differences. In Indianapolis Tuesday, a fed eral judge removed Jackson from a copyright infringement suit. The judge ruled that the Indiana-bom entertainer had no involvement in a disputed com pilation of songs performed by the Jackson 5 decades ago. Members of a Gary-based rhythm and blues group had accused Jackson of misrepre senting their work as his own on the 1996 release “Pre- History: The Lost Steeltown Recordings.” Their lawsuit accused Jackson and the other Jackson 5 members — Tito, Marlon, Jackie and Jermaine Jackson — of trade-name and copyright infringement.
