Michael Jackson may have a secret child according to reports.

The British tabloid, The Sun, has claimed that Donte Williams Jackson may be the King of Pop's son.

Donte, who currently lives with Michael Jackson's mother and guardian of his other children Katherine Jackson, was said to be extremely close to the late singer.

A source told the paper: "Michael was very close to Donte. We're not even sure if Donte knows who his parents are.

"He's one of the nicest kids you could possibly meet."

Apparently insiders have indicated that Donte, 18, could be the result of a brief relationship.

He was brought up with Alejandra Oaziaza, who has children with Michael's brothers Jermaine and Randy.

People suspected that he was the son of Randy and Alenjandra, but his date of birth is just eight months after the birth of their son Randy Jr.
