Jaafar Jackson: The New King of Pop on Screen (Latest 2025 Updates)
Without a doubt, the most significant and timely update among all of Jermaine Jackson’s children belongs to 29-year-old Jaafar Jackson. His casting as his uncle, Michael Jackson, in the forthcoming Lionsgate biopic, *Michael*, has captivated the world and placed him directly in the global spotlight.
The project, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has been a major topic of discussion across entertainment news throughout 2024 and 2025. Jaafar’s resemblance to his late uncle and his natural talent as a singer and dancer were key factors in his selection.
Jaafar has spent years honing his craft, having released his debut single "Got Me Singing" in 2019. His preparation for the role has been intensive, with social media posts showing him practicing Michael’s iconic moves. The film's production and release schedule have seen various updates, with the latest reports suggesting a major push for a 2025 or early 2026 premiere, keeping him firmly in the public eye as the new face of the Jackson family’s cinematic legacy.
This role is not just a career move; it’s a profound moment for the entire Jackson family, as Jaafar embodies the topical authority of the next generation taking on the mantle of the family's most famous member.
The Entrepreneurial and Creative Paths of Jermaine's Older Children
While Jaafar is making headlines, Jermaine Jackson’s other children have established successful careers outside of the major media glare, often blending their creative heritage with private, entrepreneurial pursuits.
Jermaine Jackson II and Autumn Joi Jackson: Life After Motown
Jermaine Jackson II, the oldest son, has largely stayed out of the entertainment industry, focusing instead on business. He is married to reality television star and designer Asa Soltan Rahmati, known for her role on *Shahs of Sunset*. The couple welcomed their son, Soltan Jackson, in 2017, making Jermaine Sr. a proud grandfather.
His sister, Autumn Joi Jackson, has carved out a niche for herself as a successful interior designer and author. She is known for her work in high-end design and is married to David Letelier. Autumn’s career demonstrates the diverse talents within the Jackson bloodline, moving beyond music into the visual arts and design world.
Jermajesty and the Aspiring Musicians
Jermajesty Jackson, the youngest of the seven, has shown a clear inclination toward his family's musical roots. Born in 2000, he has been spending significant time in the studio, mentored by his father, and is actively working on his own music career.
Jermajesty, along with his brother Jaafar, appeared in the 2014 reality series *Living With The Jacksons*, offering a rare glimpse into the modern Jackson family lifestyle. He represents the youngest wave of the Jackson family dynasty, ready to launch his career in the digital age.
Jaimy Jackson and Jourdynn Michael Jackson, sons from Jermaine’s relationship with Margaret Maldonado, also maintain strong ties to the arts. Jaimy is recognized as a musician and producer, continuing the family's legacy behind the scenes. Jourdynn, a fellow musician, has also been spotted at family events and has been noted for his close relationship with his brother Jaafar, often sharing glimpses of their musical journey together.
The Importance of Privacy in the Jackson Family Tree
The sheer scale of the Jackson family tree means that some members choose to live extremely private lives. Jeremy Maldonado Jackson, for instance, maintains a low public profile, with the majority of public information revolving around his birth and parentage. This choice for privacy is a common theme for many members of celebrity families, seeking normalcy away from the intense media scrutiny that has followed the Jacksons for decades.
The complexity of Jermaine's family life—with children born to Hazel Gordy, Margaret Maldonado, and Alejandra Oaziaza—means the siblings are connected by a powerful shared heritage, regardless of their mother. This network of half-siblings, cousins, and famous relatives forms a powerful support system, especially for those entering the entertainment world like Jaafar and Jermajesty.
As the Jackson family continues to evolve, the children of Jermaine Jackson are proving that the musical and creative genes run deep. Whether they are stepping into the spotlight to play a King or building a career in design, each one is adding a unique chapter to the ongoing history of one of the world's most famous families.
