During the Max Proms event held in 2017, Jermaine took two of his sons, Jaafar and Jermajesty, with him to perform “The Christmas Song.” While the trio wowed the audience, Jaafar’s voice was the highlight of the presentation.

Since he is the nephew of the King of Pop, people somehow expected that he would sing similar to Michael. However, his voice was so alike that several people got goosebumps.

His sweet and high-pitched vocals sounded just as if the King of Pop himself was in his early and mid-20s singing live for everybody in the theater.

BECOMING FAMOUS

Jermaine was one of the members of The Jackson 5, the group that made the entire Jackson family famous. It was formed in the 1960s by Jermaine, Jackie, and Tito, but Marlon and Michael joined soon later.

WORKING IN THE INDUSTRY

Even though Jermaine is 63 years old nowadays, he has done his best to keep himself in the entertainment industry by performing in concerts and taking some other gigs. His most recent album, “I Wish You L.O.V.E,” was released in 2012

GETTING MARRIED AGAIN

Jermaine recently announced his engagement to his girlfriend, who is 40 years younger than him, Maday Velazquez. While he didn’t say a date, he confessed they would get married soon.

The pair were in Spain for The Jackson 5’s 50th-anniversary tour when they announced the news. They began dating shortly after Jackson’s divorce from Rashid in 2016.

Velazquez is a TV star in Spain who became famous after starring in “Gran Hermano,” the country’s “Big Brother” equivalent.
