Michael Jackson had a relationship with his former nanny, Grace Rwaramba

I reviewed several sources related to the original query about Michael Jackson's relationship with his former nanny, Grace Rwaramba. The sources included Reddit threads discussing various aspects of Michael Jackson's life and relationships, as well as a news article from DNA India that directly addressed the query. There was some consensus among the sources, but the information provided was mostly from unnamed sources or personal accounts, leading to a degree of uncertainty in the conclusions drawn.

Michael Jackson and Grace Rwaramba's Relationship

According to a news article from DNA India, Michael Jackson was secretly dating his children's nanny, Grace Rwaramba, as revealed by his personal photographer, Ian Barkley, and Jackson's bodyguards. Jackson reportedly fell in love with Rwaramba after she became the nanny of his children in 1999, following his divorce from Debbie Rowe. She acted like a normal mother to his children, Prince Michael, Paris Katherine, and Prince Michael II. Matt Fiddes, Jackson's former head of security, had earlier claimed that Jackson had a secret lover without revealing her name. However, the veracity of these claims has never been proven, and Jackson's family members have not publicly confirmed any romantic relationship with Grace Rwaramba.

Other Discussions of Michael Jackson's Relationships

While the original query was specifically about Michael Jackson's relationship with Grace Rwaramba, some of the sources I reviewed discussed various aspects of Jackson's life, including his relationships with other people. For example, a Reddit thread discussed an excerpt from the book *An Agoraphobic's Guide to Hollywood: How Michael Jackson Got Me Out of the House* by Darlene Cravietto, in which the author describes an interaction between Jackson and a young boy named Andrew. Another Reddit thread discussed the people who surrounded Jackson during his life, including some who allegedly exploited his kindness and naivety.

Workplace Relationships

Some of the sources I reviewed were not directly related to the original query but discussed workplace relationships in general. For example, a Reddit thread in r/RomanceBooks was about books featuring workplace romances. Another thread in r/TalesFromYourServer discussed people's personal experiences and perspectives on workplace relationships in the service industry. These sources, while not directly related to Michael Jackson or Grace Rwaramba, provide broader context for understanding relationships in workplace settings.

  • Michael and Andrew were sitting on the couch together, wearing black fedoras.
  • Andrew was eating pizza and drinking soda while Michael was laughing and pouring him more soda.
  • Michael introduced Andrew to Darlene, stating that Andrew’s mother was a friend of his from New Zealand.
  • Darlene observes that Michael appeared entirely comfortable with Andrew on his couch, and lovingly wrapping a blanket around both of them midway through the meeting.
  • Darlene had a feeling that the situation was wrong and could not comprehend why Andrew, who appeared to be sleeping over, wouldn’t be with his mother.
  • The interaction was not exactly what Darlene had planned for her meeting, and the entire situation made her feel uncomfortable and constrained.
  • She noticed that Michael cuddled with Andrew the way she does with her own children, and his moves were like those of a mother: comforting and tender.
  • Darlene admits to having never thought about Michael in terms of gender but observing him in this intimate moment with Andrew, she sees him in a more “motherly” light.
  • Darlene felt that Michael’s behavior towards Andrew did not seem entirely right, despite not understanding the full extent of Michael’s relationship with the boy.
  • Michael carried Andrew to his bedroom after he fell asleep on the couch midway through Darlene’s reading.
  • In the comments, some Reddit users pointed out that this is yet another boy within Michael’s age interest who was sleeping over at Neverland.
  • There was also a brief conversation in the comments regarding studies on pedophilia and male victims.
  • All in all, the thread doesn’t offer much to directly answer your query regarding Michael’s alleged involvement with his former nanny Grace Rwaramba.
