In an interview with journalist Annette Witheridge, published in the ''Daily Mail'' in February 2008,<ref name=witheridge>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-513206/My-life-mother-Michael-Jacksons-children-Debbie-Rowe.html My life as the mother of Michael Jackson's children, by Debbie Rowe], [[Daily Mail]], [[February 8]], [[2008]]</ref><ref>[http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Politics/Michael-Jacksons-Mother-Is-Expected-To-Take-Care-Of-His-Children/Article/200906415320449?lpos=Politics_News_Your_Way_Region_8&lid=NewsYourWay_ARTICLE_15320449_Michael_Jacksons_Mother_Is_Expected_To_Take_Care_Of_His_Children Future Of Jackson's Children Now In Doubt], [[Sky News]], [[June 26]], [[2009]]</ref> Rowe said she saw Jackson and the children "all the time", as they lived only a three-hour drive away. The article said that Rowe is adopted, that the veils used by the children were her idea, that she was [[artificially inseminated]], and that she and Jackson never lived as husband and wife. Rowe was quoted as saying: "I had so many problems when I was pregnant with Paris. After that I couldn't have any more children."<ref name=witheridge/> |

==After Jackson's death== |
|||
Following [[Death of Michael Jackson|Jackson's death]] on June 25, 2009, several news media reported [[TMZ.com|TMZ]]'s claims that Rowe was not the [[Mother#Biological mother|biological mother]] of the children, but a [[surrogate mother]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Jackson/Rowe Not the Biological Parents |url=http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/30/michael-jackson-debbie-rowe-surrogate-children-in-vitro/ |work=TMZ.com |date=2009-06-30 |publisher=TMZ |accessdate=30 June 2009}}</ref><ref name=report>[http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529600,00.html?test=faces Reports: Michael Jackson Not Biological Father to His Kids], [[Fox News]], 2009-06-30</ref> This was later denied by Rowe's lawyer, Marta Almli.<ref>[http://www.usmagazine.com/news/lawyer-debbie-rowe-is-biological-mom-2009306 Lawyer: Debbie Rowe Is Biological Mom], [[US Weekly]], 2009-06-30</ref><ref name=NBC>[http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/entertainment/Debbie_Rowe__Dermatologist_Respond_To_Reports_Over_Michael_Jackson_s_Children.html Debbie Rowe, Dermatologist Respond To Reports Over Michael Jackson's Children], [[NBC New York]], 2009-06-30</ref> |

It was reported by [[TMZ.com|TMZ]] and [[US Weekly]],<ref name=exclusive>[http://www.usmagazine.com/news/michael-jackson-is-not-biological-dad-of-kids-2009306 EXCLUSIVE: Dermatologist Is Father of Michael Jackson's Kids], [[US Weekly]], 2009-06-30</ref><ref>[http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/zwecker/1646109,CST-FTR-zp01.article Doubt over Michael's kids], [[Chicago Sun Times]], 2009-07-01</ref> who both claimed to have received the information through multiple insiders, that Jackson's dermatologist, Dr. [[Arnold Klein]] of Los Angeles, is the biological father of the two children.<ref name=exclusive/> Klein's attorney, Richard Charnley, said, "Because of patient confidentiality, Dr. Klein will make no statement on any reports or allegations."<ref name=NBC/> |

During the second week of July, [[The New York Post]], a tabloid based out of [[New York City|New York]], reported that they had received notification from "a family source" stating that Debbie Rowe had agreed to not enter into a fight for custody of the children of [[Death of Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]] for [[United States dollar|$]]4,000,000<ref>[http://www.nypost.com/seven/07142009/news/nationalnews/mother_lode_for_jacko_ex_179174.htm DEBBIE ROWE DROPS CUSTODY FIGHT AGAINST KATHERINE JACKSON FOR $4M - New York Post]</ref><ref>[http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6710628.ece Times Online: Mother of Jackson’s children accused of seeking $4 million to drop custody claim]</ref>; and, as a subsequent de facto result, she would effectively give up her parental rights. Rowe's attorney released a statement afterward refuting the claims of the New York Post and demanding the immediate retraction of the story<ref>[http://www.cbs12.com/news/rowe-4719670-jackson-kids.html New York Post publishes wrong info regarding Debbie Rowe and Jackson's kids]</ref><ref>[http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/07/jacksons-former-wife-will-not-give-up-parental-rights.html Los Angeles Times: Jackson's former wife will not give up parental rights]</ref> and accused the New York Post of completely fabricating the story<ref>[http://gawker.com/5314640/debbie-rowe-threatening-to-sue-the-new-york-post-over-report-she-sold-her-kids Debbie Rowe Sics Her Lawyers on the New York Post over Report She Sold Her Kids</ref>. According to CNN<ref>[http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Music/07/14/jackson.children/ CNN: Debbie Rowe's lawyer: No deal in Jackson case]</ref> and other media outlets, The New York Post refused to retract their story or identify their [[Journalism sourcing#Anonymous_sources|source]] after multiple request. |
