Apparently this is true. Weird to imagine Michael wanting to marry such an uptight woman. She doesn’t seem like she’s fun at all. I don’t think the marriage would have lasted.

It is no secret that Brooke Shields and Michael Jackson were pretty good friends. But since the recent passing of her friends death, Brooke is now taking time to remember her dear friend and the memories they’ve shared.

She says, “There were times when he would ask me to marry him, and I would say, ‘You have me for the rest of your life, you don’t need to marry me, I’m going to go on and do my own life and have my own marriage and my own kids, and you’ll always have me.’”

Ouch! That had to bruise his heart and his ego just a little.

But Brooke says that she is sure that the only reason for the proposal was for Michael to let her know that he wanted her in his life forever. There really was no romantic feelings involved. He didn’t trust many people, so those he did trust, he liked to keep them close. “I think it made him relax. He didn’t want to lose things that meant something to him.”
