Iris Moon — The Daughter No One Knew About In 1989, Michael Jackson had a brief relationship with a woman named Lillian Moon. Neither Michael nor his family knew that Lillian became pregnant. On January 31, 1989, around 5:00 AM, Lillian gave birth to a little girl named Iris Moon. Tragically, Lillian passed away shortly afterward.
