A while ago I thought I believed that they had a real serious relation ship after divorce until 1999, according to his interview with LIFE and TV Guide, he mentioned Lisa a lot and openly, then something went wrong, the broke up.
Now I started to think, may be what they had after divorce was on and off, like they can't stop thinking of one another, so they meet up from time to time. As Michael is always a busy guy, many people around him... and so on. They catch up intimately from time to time... she wanted him back, he wanted her back, but it wasn't that easy.. and they might thought why they need to announce it??? It's obvious that they were seeing each other and a bit serious, why would she travel with him on his world tour, even with his mom and dad to South Africa. If it's something not that serious, you don't take your girl with your parent... and for Lisa, she took her kids with her to be with him. I know many people don't like her, but she loves her kids, am sure that she didn't want to confuse him by allowing them to be with Michael on and off throughout those years. I think they were pretty serious, but think about the world did to their first marriage, why would they want to go through that again - am sure there are many other reason that hold them back.
It was on and off until one day, Lisa might be so mad at him and want out, she want something more than just seeing him and confuse her children. Suddenly she rushed to find new love and trying to get engage right away. She was successful loving Nic and got married, obviously didn't work out as she tried. If you listen to Invincible, it's all about her. He did beg her to stay, ... don't walk away, whatever happens... and also let her go... there's also a song which he mentioned his women with other man too.. He was obviously devastated by her action at that time. I'm so sad listen to those song...
Do you think Lisa walked away, then Michael had Blanket right after? Or may be he had blanket, that's when Lisa thought that's it.. am gone? Or may be Blanket mom is someone Michael got involve with? (Anyway, please don't delete this thread, if this is something not allowed, just delete my post please).
I think Lisa really thought she could get over him if she find new love, unlucky for her that Michael isn't someone she could forget easily... until now. A real tragic love story, who knows how many phone call they made, try to get back together, real life isn't that easy.. they didn't try hard enough.. but we don't really know their circumstance of not normal people life.
Lisa definitely didn't tell the truth that she met Prince only once from her interview. As Michael mentioned in his 90s interview that Lisa visit him regularly... and play with his kids. I don't know if Prince / Paris remember Lisa, but they definitely will asked or did ask when they saw the kissing photo... I think their grandma did explain it to them earlier.. or may be they even knew about her all along. Micheal is a good dad, I'm sure he did try to explain everything to them, especially something that would make them wonder about him. He also have a lots of his own footage, he seems to love making his own life film. As you see he always have his own cameraman, I think he wish to do his own life documentary. Remember during the trial, he was on top of his car and pulled his cameraman up with him, directing him what to film. I think he has plenty of his video with Lisa...
Once again, may I say, no one could love Lisa the way Michael did, they way he treated her.. like in his song... who could match him.. no way. I really feel sorry for her, to fell for someone as amazing and as big as him - she will never feel like that ever again. She also said it herself that he's a amazing guy,,, I hope she will be okay someday and cope with her marriage - happy - different kid of happiness.
