Michael Jackson's 'secret son' joins Prince and Blanket on a shopping trip | Mail OnlineThere may be conflicting opinions over whether Omer Bhatti really is Michael Jackson's secret fourth child, but he certainly looked like part of the family as he enjoyed a shopping trip with the singer's other sons in Santa Monica yesterday.
The 25-year-old dancer, who was dressed in a bright yellow T-shirt, jeans, hi-top Nike trainers and a baseball cap, joined Prince Michael, 12, and long-haired Blanket, seven, on a trip to a book store.
With another friend and minder in tow, the group looked in good spirits as they headed home after their outing.
Prince Michael and Blanket were free of the masks their father always insisted they wore on public outings and both were dressed like average boys in shorts and T-shirts.

Jackson's father Joe insists Bhatti is the King Of Pop's child, saying last month: 'I knew Michael had another son - yes, I did.
'He looks like a Jackson, he acts like a Jackson and he can dance like a Jackson. This boy's a fantastic dancer - as a matter of fact, he teaches dance.'
According to reports, Michael told friends in 2004 that Bhatti was his son from a one-night stand.

Bhatti attended Michael's memorial service and has been staying with the Jacksons ever since. He is said to be planning a DNA test.
However several other sources say that claims Bhatti is Jackson's biological son are inaccurate.
Several insiders, including musician and Jackson friend Ricky Harlow, say Jackson took him under his wing after they met in Europe in the mid-1990s, when Bhatti was around 11.
'They had a father-and-son type of connection,' Harlow told America's People magazine, 'but I never thought he was his biological father.
'They met when "Little Michael"[Bhatti] did a contest impersonating Michael Jackson in Europe in the mid-1990s, and Michael saw it and was blown away and got in contact with the family.'
Meanwhile, it has been announced that Michael's mother Katherine, 79, and Prince Michael and Paris' biological mother Debbie Rowe will share custody of the three children.
Yesterday, a raid on a pharmacy uncovered evidence that Jackson's personal doctor bought a powerful sedative of the type thought to have killed him, sources said.
Agents from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) searched Applied Pharmacy Services in Las Vegas for evidence including prescriptions written by Dr Conrad Murray.
After the raid, a law enforcement official said that documents showing that Dr Murray had purchased propofol had been found on the premises.
The source added that the anaesthetic had been purchased legally.
Police are reportedly working on the theory that the doctor administered the powerful sedative in the hours leading up to the singer's death.
Jackson died aged 50 at his rented Beverly Hills home on June 25.
Dr Murray, his personal physician, was with him at the time of death. It has been suggested the doctor gave Jackson the powerful drug to help him sleep.

It is understood that during today's raid, DEA agents were looking for prescriptions written by Dr Murray for Jackson or any aliases.
It is the latest in a number of warrants placed on premises connected to Dr Murray. His home and office in Las Vegas were raided last month, as was a site in Houston, Texas, connected to the doctor.
Dr Murray has been quizzed twice by police as part of their probe and a third interview is planned.
He has not been named as a suspect, but court records have identified the 51-year-old physician as the subject of a manslaughter investigation.
It is widely believed the results of Jackson's post-mortem examination will show the singer was on heavy medication when he died.
On Monday, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said it had completed its post mortem on Jackson's body and related toxicology tests.
But the results will be delayed until after the official investigation is complete.
Los Angeles Police Department asked the office not to release any findings while its probe continues. Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner, declined to say when that would be.
He added that the office would not respond to queries until the inquiry is completed.
