Michael Jackson Biographer: Lisa Marie was love of MJ’s life, Debbie Rowe was just a surrogate
J. Randy Taraborelli (long time Michael Jackson biographer) describes Michael’s relationship with Lisa Marie Presley as THE REAL relationship of his life and that he never really got over her. They broke up over their issue of having children or not. Taraborelli describes Michael’s relationship with Debbie Rowe as one of a surrogate mother for his children. He was pressured by his mother into marrying Debbie Rowe for the sake of the children. However, Taraborelli also says that Katherine Jackson and Debbie Rowe have never met prior to what is happening presently over the custody of the children.
I know a lot of people thought Michael’s marriage to Lisa Marie was a ’sham’, but I never thought so. Just look at pictures of them during that time. I’ve never seen them smile like that when they were together. Unfortunately, I think outside pressures and reality drove them apart. Lisa Marie is quoted in Taraborelli’s book as saying ‘In a different world, we’d (MJ and Lisa) be together. Just not in HIS world.’

Taraborelli knew …
Taraborelli knew Michael briefly about 30 years ago. Most of what he writes is tabloid sensationalism. I don’t trust anything he says.
This Randy guy only …
This Randy guy only met MJ a handful of times – now he is on every channel pretending as if he and MJ were the best of friends. I do not believe 99% of the things that came out of his mouth.
she DID break his …
she DID break his heart so sad
To be honest with …
To be honest with you I never took Tarborelli as a friend of MJ’s, he is no different from Gellar, Lester and that shisty lawyer Brian Oxman. But I always knew that marriage was a not a sham. But why would he talk about his marriage to rowe and his children to this man, when he is always trying to make money off his name and saying the most demeaning about him
NoirEyesful, LMP …
NoirEyesful, LMP said in her blog that she divorced him hastily in regret (but the relationship went on for years after). I am glad MJ at least had her love in his life while he did. Many of his songs on the Invincible Album are about her, like Break of Dawn and Don’t Walk Away and You Rock My World and Butterflies.
I agree, the child …
I agree, the child wuld probably have been anther musical genius. She and MJ did try to have a child, but it didn’t happen. LMP had tr=ouble getting pregnant with her second husband Michael and needed doctor’s help,so maybe she couldn’t get pregnant then, maybe it was BOTH of them. Then she got afraid that the marriage to MJ wouldn’t last and started using birth control. Think of the pressure on the child to be another Elvis or Michael though!!
It’s sad, Lisa …
It’s sad, Lisa Marie and Michael Jackson would have had a gorgeous and talented child.
MJ’s relationship …
MJ’s relationship with Lisa Marie went on for YEARS after they divorced. She was 25 when they started dating, but for her 30th birthday, she was holding hands and kissing Michael at their favorite Resturaunt, The Ivy. She went on the second half of the History tour with him, and at the end vacationed in South Africa with him, her kids, and MJ’s parents for almost a month. Lots of love there!!
Yeah right. That’s …
Yeah right. That’s why he didn’t leave her his kids but left them to Diana Ross. Bull on Lisa.
if she wasnt …
if she wasnt leaving his maybe he wasnt DEAD rigth now!
all he wanted was love
she knew he loved her so much
what was the problem to have children?
she probably broke his heart…
Aww, I feel sad for …
Aww, I feel sad for both Lisa and Michael, it must be hard. H e loved Lisa and I think she must be regretting a lot of stuff right now.
interesting piece. …
interesting piece. It’s kind of sad that Lisa Marie didn’t give the marriage a chance.
Wow…well, I never …
Wow…well, I never though his marriage to Lisa was a sham either. This info doesnt surprise me, as I have always been aware..but, at least his friends are speaking out.
there marriage was not a sham, there isn’t a doubt that MJ loved her dearly but it doesn’t look the same with lisa. she and her mum once said that “MJ was jealous of elvis”, she never said a word when MJ faced charges in 2003, madonna was the only one to open her mouth and all lisa kept saying was “i don’t know…i dont know”. MJ was naive, he couldn’t see that she was unworthy of him and didn’t love or respect him. he depended on her emotionally, he wanted her support which she never gave him. now that he is dead, she is acting like some long lost lover, someone plz tell her that it’s not required and MJ has all his fans to love and support him forever. it’s sad that the person who is loved around the globe never had “real love” and ended up with the wrong kind. but didn’t i see that video on youtube where one of his bodyguards spoke about MJ having a “secret love” , o how i wish that be true and that blanket is his love child, he looks just like him,the same shyness in his eyes. Mr. Taraborelli should stop showing the world that MJ confided in him. people like mr. Taraborelli, lmp and the rest should stop pretending coz no one’s a fool. we are MJ fans and a very protective group of people, we know and love MJ.
