Ninety-five years and still glowing with grace! Katherine Jackson, the fierce, resilient matriarch of the legendary Jackson family, just turned 95, and her daughter, Janet Jackson, pulled out the digital confetti with a moving birthday message that had fans feeling all the love.
On Sunday, Janet took to Instagram to celebrate the occasion with a touching tribute that was equal parts emotional and elegant. Alongside a sweet photo of Katherine posing with her son Jackie Jackson (who, fun fact, shares the same birthday as his mom!), Janet poured her heart out in a post that instantly reminded us how deep the Jackson family’s love runs.
“A living testament to grace, strength, and love, turns 95 today,” Janet wrote. “May God continue to wrap you in His kindness, filling each new day with joy, comfort, and the warmth of those who cherish you. You are a gift beyond measure, and my soul is forever grateful for you. I love you.”
The tribute didn’t stop with just Mom. Janet also celebrated her big brother Jackie’s 74th birthday, calling him a blessing in her life. “I’m so incredibly blessed to have you in my life! I love you dearly, and I pray your special day is filled with joy & happiness!” she added.
Jackie Jackson returned the love on his own Instagram, calling Katherine “the most incredible woman I know” and reflecting on how her strength and wisdom helped shape him into the man he is today. “There’s no one I’d rather share my birthday with,” he wrote. “Here’s to many more celebrations together.”
Katherine Esther Jackson, born on May 4, 1930, in Clayton, Alabama, is the driving force behind one of the most significant families in music history. As the mother of the Jackson family, she brought up ten children, each of whom would make their own distinct impact on the world, with Michael and Janet Jackson emerging as global legends.
Katherine was not only a mother but also a representation of poise in challenging times. She bore the burdens of celebrity and sorrow with modesty, leading her family through the peaks of fame and the valleys of grief. Throughout everything, she maintained her principles grounded in faith, love, and togetherness.
At 95, Katherine Jackson isn’t just surviving. She’s still inspiring. And thanks to her children, especially Janet, we all glimpse the deep, real love that keeps this iconic family grounded.
