Jacko's kids finally step out sans their masks

London, May 28 : Michael Jackson's much protected and sometimes even 'masked' kids have finally stepped out - to prove that the singer is really their daddy.

According to onlookers, there was no mistaking the resemblance between Wacko, 49, and his three kids.

However, onlookers could not help wondering how they manage to resemble Jackson as he looks now, rather than before plastic surgery.

Despite rumours, 'We are the World' hitmaker had always insisted that he fathered Prince, 11, and Paris, 10, naturally with wife Deborah Rowe, whom she divorced in 1999, reports The Daily Star.

However, the parentage of six-year-old Prince Michael II, known as Blanket, is a mystery.

Jackson, 49, has admitted that the child was the result of artificial insemination, using a surrogate mother and his own sperm.

He has gone to great lengths to keep his children's faces hidden over the years, using veils and masks.

But, he has finally let them face the public on a trip to a bookstore in Las Vegas, and while the kids browsed around the children's section, their famous dad looked at music books.
