London, August 2 (ANI): Late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s controversial gay doctor Arnie Klein is demanding access to the singer’s three children.

According to reports, the multi-millionaire skin specialist has privately claimed that he fathered Michael’s two children-Prince, 12, and Paris, 11.

He is now said to be desperate to play a role in the children’s lives, and in the upbringing of Blanket, seven.

Klein’s friends say that he is worried about the children’s lives with the Jackson family and Michael’s dad Joe, accused by the star of beating him as a child.

“Arnie wants a say in the children’s lives - and that’s all three kids. He wants to shelter them from the odd and unsavoury characters in and around the Jackson family,” the News of the World quoted a friend of Klein as saying.

Although the doctor is desperate to strike an informal deal with the children’s custodian and grandmother Katherine, he has asked lawyers about pursuing it through the courts if necessary.

“My concern is the kids, because I’ve never met children like this. I know how deeply Michael loved them and how deeply they loved him. I don’t want to disturb this relationship in any way, shape or form, but I will protect these children,” Klein confessed. (ANI)
