Paris Jackson has discussed her relationship with her mother Debbie Rowe.

The model-singer, 24, had an emotional discussion with her friend and fellow music artist Willow Smith on the singer’s Red Table Talk Takeover on Facebook.

In 1996, pop superstar Michael Jackson married American dermatology assistant Debbie Rowe and they had two children together: Prince and Paris.

Jackson and Rowe divorced in 1999 and she agreed to the singer getting full custody of the children.

Following Jackson’s death in 2009, his children were cared for by Katherine Jackson and family.

Speaking of getting to know her mother Debbie Rowe at the age of 15, Paris told Willow: “It’s cool. I mean like, getting to know her, seeing how similar we are, getting into what kind of music she likes and she really likes country and folk.”

Paris continued: “I send her some of the stuff that I’m working on that has banjos in them.”

The model-singer then shared a recent photo of herself and Rowe together, which Willow was moved by.

It was also noted by Paris that she closely resembles her mother when she was young in the 1970s.

“We look exactly alike,” said Paris, “It’s just cool having her as a friend.”

Elaborating further on their relationship, she added: “It’s very chill – which I love – it’s the perfect word to describe it.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Paris also discussed losing her father at the age of 11 and the impact on her.

“I don’t know, it kind of just happened,” she explained. “I was so young.

“I was just going through the motions and didn’t really understand what was happening and so I just went with what I was told to do…I didn’t really have much guidance.”

Meanwhile, Paris also discussed her former romantic relationship with musician Gabriel Glenn.

She said: ‘It was the deepest I ever loved someone. It was the most intense I’ve felt so far and the most intense betrayal I felt so far and experienced.”

Paris added that she will be more careful with romance in future: “It’s definitely closed me off to that, I’m very careful with who I spend time with now and very guarded and trying to protect myself.”

However, she was also very positive about what she had taken away from the relationship when speaking to Willow.

“It was the deepest heartbreak I ever experienced,” she said. “But also it was one of the most powerful rebirths I’ve ever had in finding my voice and finding my sound and embracing being a musician.

“I was scared to do that for a long time. Finally, I’m just like, this is who I am, I’m a musician.”

She also said: “Gabe showed me love does exist, not just in the movies, and it’s not as pretty as it looks in the movies.

“It can get ugly and it can be more beautiful than described in the movies and it is possible.”
