Is Mark Lester the Father of Paris Jackson, Michael Jackson's Daughter?

Mark Lester is Willing to Have DNA Testing to See If Paris Jackson is His Daughter

Mark Lester wants to take a paternity test to determine if Paris Jackson is his daughter. He claims that Paris looks like his own daughter. He said that he donated sperm to Michael Jackson so he could have kids when he was married to Debbie Rowe. Lester is the godfather to all of Michael Jackson's kids. He believes that Paris is his daughter.

According to a British tabloid the 51-year old Lester, a former child star, known for the lead role in the movie version of the show, "Oliver!" Lester was a longtime friend of Michael Jackson. In a video interview Lester said that he donated his sperm in a London clinic. Because Michael Jackson was married to Debbie Rowe at the time it was obvious to him that the sperm was used to impregnate Debbie.

Lester said that Michael Jackson wanted children so badly that he was honored to donate his sperm to him so he could have children. He didn't want, and did not receive money for the gift. He said that this secret has gone on too long. He has called repeatedly and sent emails to the family and his attempts have been unanswered.

Lester said that the two families, Michael's, and his spent many hours together. He was a good friend to Michael and the godfather to all of Michael's children.

Germaine Jackson is adamant that all of Michael's children are Michael's biological children. He says that you can tell by looking at them that they are Michael's.

I believe that all children have a right to know where they come from and know their roots. A child may be raised, loved, and nurtured by a loving adopted family, but the blood that flows in their veins is still a significant part of who they are. It is where they came from. When people adopt children or use sperm donors to have children, I think that it is important for the child for emotional and medical reasons to have that information.

I hope that DNA tests are run on all of Michael Jackson's children so they can know who their biological families are whether they are indeed Jackson's or someone elses.

    Donating sperm and nothing else is not being a Father. I'm sure he is after the money which Micael left behind and will be generated by his songs in the future.

    Kids have the right to know who their parents are IMHO.

    What a strange web of stories he left behind. I hope things settle down for his kids.

    I have never even heard of this guy before.

    I agree,do the test and get it over with. The kids don't even have to know at this point. Good article!

    I don't think they are his biological children, any of them. However my Stepdaughter is not my biological child yet I raised her and consider her my actual Daughter and she calls me her Dad. That is good enough for me.

    I wish they would just do the tests and find out - I feel for these children, their already going through enough without all the 'junk' surrounding there parentage. Great article!

    This whole story (MJ) just keeps getting stranger and stranger. Seriously, they all need to take paternity tests and find out once and for all who belongs to who. I have to feel for those kids. They've had their entire lives turned upside down. I knew the day he died that all sorts of things would start to come out of the woodwork. WOW! Nice article!
