Intimate photos showing MICHAEL JACKSON cradling his children with DEBBIE ROWE have been published - just days after his ex-wife vowed to fight for custody of the kids.

Now intimate pictures of Jackson's life with Rowe have been printed by British tabloid the News of the World.
The snaps, taken just days after Paris was born in 1998, were shot by a professional photographer at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverley Hills, and show her being cradled lovingly by her parents.
The photos also include her older brother Prince Michael and show Rowe kissing and cuddling the tot.
