Paris Jackson, the 27-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, recently shared rare photos of herself with her mother on Instagram. The two were seen smiling together in front of a brick wall and cozying up outdoors. Jackson and Rowe have had an on-and-off relationship over the years, but have been reconciling since 2013 after an estrangement during Jackson's teenage years.

Why it matters

Paris Jackson and her mother Debbie Rowe have kept their relationship largely private over the years, so these new photos provide a rare glimpse into their family dynamic. Their reconciliation also highlights the complexities of parent-child relationships, especially in high-profile celebrity families.

The details

Paris Jackson is the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe. Rowe and Michael Jackson were married in 1996 and divorced in 2000, with Rowe giving full custody rights of their two children, Paris and her older brother Prince, to Michael. The couple also had a younger son, Bigi, formerly known as Blanket. After the divorce, Rowe settled in Palmdale, California and largely stayed out of the public eye. However, in 2013, Paris reached out to Rowe and they began reconciling their relationship, with the support of Paris's grandmother and legal co-guardian, Katherine Jackson.

• In 2013, Paris Jackson reached out to her mother Debbie Rowe to establish a relationship after an estrangement during her teenage years.
