Michael Jackson’s Ex-Wife Debbie Rowe Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

The late Michael Jackson‘s ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Rowe bravely addressed her diagnosis with ET, sharing, “I’m a fighter and always have been.”

The international pop superstar wed Rowe, a nurse, in November 1996 in Sydney, Australia. Jackson was previously married to late Elvis Presley’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley.

Rowe is the mother of Jackson’s two eldest children, Prince Michael, 19, and Paris, 18. Following his death, Rowe was granted supervised visitation rights with their children in 2009 — under an agreement reached with Jackson’s mother, Katherine. She was last spotted with Paris visiting a horse ranch in Palmdale, California, over Memorial Day weekend in 2013.

It remains unknown if Rowe has been in contact with her now-adult children since their last public sighting.
