Debbie Rowe Says Michael IS NOT the Father of Her Kids, She Was a Paid Surrogate

Michael Jackson's ex-wife has confessed the late star is not the biological father of their two children, according to a news report.

Debbie Rowe, the mother of Prince, 12, and Paris, 11, has spoken of her "sham marriage" to Jackson in her first public interview with British tabloid newspaper News of the World.

Debbie, who married Michael at the Sheraton Hotel Sydney in November 1996, said she was artificially inseminated by an anonymous donor and likened herself to one of the thoroughbred mares she now keeps on her California ranch.

"I was just the vessel. It wasn't Michael's sperm," she said. "I got paid for it, and I've moved on. I know I will never see my children again."

Debbie revealed she and Michael never had sex and did not share a bed during their three year marriage, describing the union only as a friendship.

Prince and Paris now face an uncertain future, effectively orphaned, although they and their younger brother Prince Michael II - born to an anonymous surrogate mother - were reported to be in the care of Jackson's 79-year-old mother Katherine at the family estate in Los Angeles.

Debbie, who met Michael when she was a receptionist at a Beverly Hills dermatology clinic, where he went for skin treatments, said Michael was lonely and desperately wanted children.

"Michael was divorced, lonely and wanted children. I was the one who said to him, 'I will have your babies'. It was a place in both of our lives when we were both very lonely. We both loved animals. That's how we got talking.

"He started letting me into the treatment rooms, letting me help the doctor with him. He would come in three or four times a week. I started talking to him about his divorce from Lisa Marie (Presley, his first wife).

"I offered him my womb...it was a gift. It was something I did to keep him happy."

No longer bound by a legal agreement following Michael's death, Debbie has revealed Michael had nothing to do with her babies' births.

"I went to the 'office', which is what we called the medical clinic. They impregnated me. It's just like I impregnate my mares for breeding. It was very technical," she said.

"Just like I stick the sperm up my horse, this is what they did to me. I was his thoroughbred."

However Michael wanted nothing more to do with her after the birth of her second child Paris, which left her unable to have more children.

"The delivery was so hard. My insides were all torn up and I was barren. When he knew I couldn't have any more babies he didn't want anything to do with me," she said.

She reportedly then gave away her parental rights to the children in exchange for a $8.4million payout over nine years.

She said their's was a shotgun wedding.

"He wanted to pretend that we were a family."

She was 37 and pregnant and he was 38. Their best man was an eight-year-old boy.

"We never lived together as a couple. We never had sex. He was on the road, doing his thing.

"He never wanted to live with me. That's why he bought me a house. There was always 'my house' and 'his house', never 'our house'.

"We would jump in bed together and read magazines and watch movies, with all the animals around us before the kids were involved. We used to hang out with each other.

"But that was his life. That's Michael. That was what it was like."

Rowe said she was "never cut out to be a mother".

"I was no good. I don't want these children in my life. My children are my animals now."

Britain former child acting star Mark Lester, who is godfather to Prince and Paris, has indicated he would be happy to assume guardianship.

However, the Jackson family lawyer Brian Oxman has already indicated that any court decision would probably be made in favor of grandmother Katherine.
