More Heartbreak For Paris Jackson

Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe has reportedly been diagnosed with breast cancer, and the 57-year-old's estranged daughter, Paris Jackson, is unaware of her mother's diagnosis, TMZ claims.

The pair reportedly stopped speaking more than a year ago and in May this year the 18-year-old stopped following her mother on social media.

Rowe responded on Facebook saying it was 'one of the saddest things in this world is to see a child grow up hating one of their parents because they only got one side of the story’.

She was married to Jackson from 1996 to 1999 after meeting him while working as a nurse at the dermatology clinic where he was was being treated for vitiligo.

The superstar divorced Lisa Marie Presley the same year that he met Rowe and she went on to give birth to the late star's son Prince, 19, in 1997 - three months after they married.

The shock news comes after Rowe had a cancer scare two years ago.

However, her illness turned out to be sarcoidosis - an auto-immune disease that is not life-threatening.

Rowe now lives on a horse ranch in rural Palmdale, in Los Angeles County.
