Michael Jackson Nephew, Guardian, and Kim Kardashian Lover: Meet TJ Jackson

Following the Jackson family catastrophe that has involved accusations over ambushes, abuse, and missing persons, the situation was finally resolved when custody was granted to T.J. Jackson; but who is T.J. Jackson?

Tito Jackson is Michael Jackson's 34-year-old nephew who was also recently unveiled as Kim Kardashian's first love and according to a number of sources, is the only one that Michael's kids want to be with right now.

"Paris, Prince and Blanket all want TJ to be their guardian because they believe Katherine- their current guardian- has effectively been kidnapped by MJ's siblings. The kids haven't seen Katherine in 9 days," sources reported to TMZ.

While it was later clarified that Katherine Jackson, the children's grandmother, was not kidnapped but had taken a medical vacation- T.J. Jackson was still appointed as the temporary legal guardian of the children. The guardianship was appointed on Wednesday during an emergency hearing in which T.J. stated that he believed his aunts and uncles had purposely sent Katherine away according to Mail Online.

T.J. Jackson also had the support of Kim Kardashian, his former love, who vouched for TJ's affection towards the kids.

During a June interview on "Oprah's Next Chapter" Kim Kardashian surprised many by admitting that she had lost her virginity when she was only 14. It was later revealed that the man she spoke of was T.J., whom she had dated for two years.

Kardashian attested to friends that TJ had a "father-like" relationship with Michael's kids, adding, "He's a very honest and trustworthy person and everyone knows he'll do the right thing," according to TMZ.

Katherine, who returned to her Los Angeles home to discover that the children had been temporarily taken out of her care, expressed disappointment but also stated that she knew the children would be fine.
