Even after his death, Michael Jackson is still considered the King King of Pop. He is still viewed as one of the most influential global super stars of all time.
He really made the POP industry his own in his time. But, the pop Industry wasn’t the only thing he had his eyes on, he also had his eye on some beautiful Hollywood women, and he did get most of them.
I mean…he is Michael Jackson.
However, believe it or not, there were some women who were not particularly enthusiastic to be with him. Michael Jackson wanted these women, but they did not completely return the favor.
These are the 7 Women Michael Jackson Wanted So Badly But Couldn’t Have
Elizabeth Taylor
What is this list without Michael Jackson’s most popular and controversial relationship.
Michael and Elizabeth Taylor were rumored to be in a relationship but they both debunked the rumors and Michael revealed that they were just friends. The best of friends.
But, he didn’t stop there. He admitted during an interview with Contact Music that he did wish for more than just a friendship from Elizabeth but unfortunately she would not be able to deal with dating someone she was way older than.
You see, Elizabeth Taylor was 27 years older than Michael Jackson.
He was scared that the media would poke fun at them and while he didn’t particularly mind, he knew it would mater to Elizabeth. Hence, there was zero chance of him pursuing a romantic relationship. That did not stop him from wishing though.
Brooke Shields
Michael Jackson and Brooke Shields met for the first time during the Academy Awards and developed am attraction for each other. They eventually started to date and were in a relationship for several years.
Brooke revealed that Michael had spoken about marriage with her, hinting at a proposal but she had refused.
She was not very enthusiastic about the prospect of getting married to anyone and chose the simple relationship they had over a marriage.
She told MJ that since he already had her in a relationship, there was no need for a marriage.
Diana Ross
Micheal Jackson’s brother, Jermaine Jackson in his book “You are not alone” revealed that Michael had his eyes set on Diana Ross and even considered marrying her on more than one occasion.
Michael even went as far as referring to Diana Ross as his girlfriend and would prevent other men from coming close to her.
Diana Ross was however completely turned off by the idea of a relationship with him because she was 17 years his senior. It was the age gap that made her keep the relationship aspect at bay and instead she got closer to purely on a deep friendship level.
Britney Spears
During the documentary “Leaving Neverland” claims were made that Michael Jackson had been completely obsessed with Britney Spears.
He was apparently always calling her sexy and beautiful and maybe those reports got back to her or maybe not.
However, it definitely seemed his affections went completely unnoticed by Britney Spears and she’s yet to strongly address his rumored affections for her.
Katie Couric
In 2013, during a visit to Howard Stern’s Sirius XM show, the former Today show host revealed that 12 years prior, MJ’s spiritual adviser Rabbi “Shmuley” Boteach told her that MJ was hoping to go on a dinner date with her. Because she was seeing someone at the time, she declined, though she tells Stern that she wished she accepted.
Nicole Kidman
In the early 2000s, Nicole Kidman recalled to a local Australian radio station (according to femalefirst.co.uk) that she received a call from MJ’s people saying that he wanted to escort her to the MTV Video Music Awards as a date. Because she never met him, Kidman thought the whole thing was “strange,” and politely declined the offer.
Whitney Houston
Worthy of mention is also Whitney Houston. Whitney Houston. While she didn’t turn him down exactly, he wanted more than she was giving him.
Michael Jackson’s former bodyguard Matt Fiddes revealed that MJ had a 2 week casual relationship also known as a fling with Whitney Houston.
He even thought about marrying her and wished several times that what they had between them was deeper than just a casual fling.
It seemed that while it might have been more for MJ, for Whitney, their relationship was one that did not exist outside the confines of a casually sexual relationship.
