Grace Rwaramba: Was
Grace Rwaramba,
Michael Jackson's nanny, also his secret girlfriend?
If claims made by UK newspaper
The Mirror are to be believed, she was.
According to the paper, Ugandan-born
Grace Rwaramba was
Michael's girlfriend, and his children called her "mom."
Michael and
Grace were allegedly in a long-term relationship at the time he died.
Ian Barkley, who travelled the world with Jacko for three years as his personal photographer, says the couple's romance was an open secret among staff after they fell in love while she was nanny to his children.
Ian told how, behind closed doors,
Grace, 42, acted like a normal mum to
Jackson's kids Prince
Michael, 12, Paris Katherine, 11 and six-year-old Prince
Michael II.
One of
Jackson's bodyguards confirmed the news that
Grace was
Michael's girlfriend: "They were more like a married couple than employer and employee."
The bodyguard, who asked not to be identified added: "Grace was the closest person to
Michael and the kids. She will be broken-hearted. The children were always their joint priority and like any couple they'd row if they disagreed about how they were being brought up. But the difference between
Grace and other women in
Michael's life was that she had absolutely no interest in fame. It was something she actively avoided and
Michael was determined to keep her and their relationship out of the public gaze. The romance was well-known among staff but it was made very clear to them that this was not something that should become part of the public domain."
Grace was introduced to
Jackson by his former spokesman Dr. Tohme R. Tohme in 1991. She started out as a secretary before working her way up to become the most important woman in the superstar's life.
