VICTORIA ROWELL’S WEDDING: A FAMILY AFFAIR
-L to R: Jasper, daughter of Radcliffe, Victoria, Radcliffe,son of Radcliffe, and Maya-
Actress Victoria Rowell, best known for her role as Drucilla Winters from the CBS soap opera The Young and The Restless, became the wife of artist Radcliffe Bailey on June 27th.
This is the second marriage for Victoria. Her first marriage resulted in the birth of her first child, daughter Maya Fahey. Her second child, a son named Jasper Marsalis, was from her relationship with jazz great Wynton Marsalis. Radcliffe also has a son and daughter from a previous marriage so when the two met, “it was kismet”.

I wish the new family luck! Her daughter is already quite tall, isn’t she? And her son certainly has the Marsalis family resemblance… :o)
that he does. All he needs is an instrument in his hands. LOL
Hmm…she has always been vocal about the fact that her two children are adopted. Right?
Those are her BIOLOGICAL kids.
Nice family and congrats
the family is indeed beautiful and Victoria is a very beautiful bride.
Both of Victoria’s children are her biological children, they are not adopted.
she never said her daughter was adopted her father is white. victoria rowell herself was adopted. her kids are her bio kids.
her daughter has on 3 inch heels
good luck the the new family
you are right! i just went back and had a look at her shoes. the heels are quite high.
No, Victoria was adopted after being a foster child. The older boy and girl are her biological kids.
Well, congrats to Victoria and husband on their wedding. Yes, Caratime2, I thought the same thing. Her daughter is very tall. Nice looking family.
Both of her children are biological. Victoria is mixed, so I am certain this is the explanation for her daughter being very pale in comparison.
No her children are not adpoted but she was a foster child that’s what I’m saying about Michael Jackson’s kids Victoria’s daughter does not look like she has a tap of black in her and she is biracial so we can’t count Michael out as being these kids father genes are crazy
shae>>>Victoria is half white herself, so that would probably explain why her daughter looks white, whereas, Michael is not. However, like you said, genes are a crazy thing.
Genes are crazy, but not that crazy! The odds of a black person and a white person producing 3 children without any child exhibiting a single noticeable black feature have to be incredibly low. Possible but highly unlikely.
That’s true.
I, wholeheartedly, agree with you. It’s just very strange. I know that MJ was a very special person but I don’t think that he was that special.
AS is being said hereon this blog, Victoria is not just pure black. 50% of her genes are Europrean, 50% are African. Sometimes we forget this when it comes to biracial people. Regardless of how they look, genetically they carry the identical amount of genes from each parent. Its a 50/50 chance each time Victoria has children. She has a white husband, the children could come our white like Maya or biracial like herself. She has a black husband, the children could come out black like the father, or biracial like herself.
Really, we are ALL melting pots of various ethnicities. Please take a look on this website:

Its a genetic study on African Americans. VERY interesting!!!
sorry lady ur wrong about that i did i have three beautiful white looking kids and i am Carmel and my hubby is white … however my great grandfather was Irish and you can tell in my kids my mom has the red hair and freckles and my youngest boy has red hair that looks like its on fire and we get dumb question asking if we dyed his hair so genes go way back and those that can see know that mj kids are his and if u wanna go on looks u cant tell me that girl looks like her mom cause she don’t sorry if u look at mj pics as a boy how is facial structure is you can see it in the oldest boy and blanket is a his twin as for Paris well we all know who she look like just a much prettier version
JJ, I totally agree with everything you said… Victoria daughter had blond hair when she was younger. Genetics is a funny thing, Micheal’s younger son looks exactly like his father when he was around his age. Look at Blanket eyes,just like Michael Jackson. I have a nephew who is light just like Victoria R daughter and he has blond hair and his two brothers have jet black hair. They all have the same father(German)and African American mother. His two brothers have hair just like Blanket and the olive color that these three children have. It is quite obvious that they are not White but mixed race
This was covered in H.S bio chances are 1 in 4 with an AA parent and White parent. Odds increase with a biracial parent (Rowell) and white parent(Fahey). Nonetheless, apprears to be a very loving parent and advocate for children in foster care!
Even with Victoria being biracial, the son looks like his father Wynton. None of Michaels children have that. All three seem to have taken Debbie as the prominent gene, which causes me to question that Jackson is the biological father. And we have been told that he is not the biological father of Blanket.
No, Victoria’s two children aren’t adopted. They are both biologically hers. Victoria’s first husband was White and she said that her daughter, Maya, is the spitting image of him. And of course, Jasper is the spitting image of Wynton also.
She was adopted her children are not Her daughter was produced from her 1st marriage to a white man Tom Fahey (if I am not mistaken). and her son produced from her relationship with Wynton Marsalis. Victoria herself is half white and with a white spouse a child can have little to now black features as you see in her daughter . Victoria did a piece sometime ago when Maya was quite small on all the looks and questions she received about her daughter both children are her birth children..
Wow what a beautiful bride!
She looks radiant. I absolutely love her dress and hair.
Why do she keep telling lies i remember bwhen she adopted that white girl. And if you research it you find out that it is true.
You are confused. If YOU research you will find that it is just as everyone else has stated, Maya is her biological child. I saw the interview years ago when she talked about people thinking that she was Maya’s nanny because of the difference in skin color but that she was indeed her bio mother. This woman has no reason to lie.
Please stop being so ignorant. Of course Maya is her biological daughter. She had a whole program with Oprah talking about it. Everybody knows she is biracial, so she is as much white as she is black. Meaning, biracial and white produce mostly white kids like her daughter, biracial and black produce most likely black like her son. This happens every single day, there’s nothing strange about it. The world’s becoming a melting pot! Not everything is black or white, there’s a whole lot in between.
I really like that dress… the photos are great.
LaKesha and Cookey, her daughter and son is not adopted. She is biracial herself and her daughter father is white. Why is it that a white woman can have a black child? but a black woman can’t have a white one? people are so simple. I don’t hear ya saying that isn’t Gabe’s daughter by Halle and he’s white and Halle is biracial, yet their daughter have more color. Read before you speak, u two don’t know what the hell ya talking about. The mother was adopted, not her dayum daughter and don’t let me say it again. She looks beautiful, I love the dress and the kids seems to be happy.
I won’t make ya say it again! LOL!
Me neither

What does one say about a race of people who view their own genetic extinction as a sign of progress?
Progress? I guess I missed that. I know I sure don’t.
Why is this ALWAYS a discussion? Victoria is HALF WHITE and her daughters father was white making her daughter only a 1/4 black. You morons. It is VERY possible for her daughter to look like that. Man some people are stupid. It’s the same thing with Karyn Parsons and Garcelle Beauvais. Now enough. You don’t need to have this discussion every time those three women are on here with their children.
This family is beautiful…
Beautiful family. I’ve always liked Victoria Rowell.
Why is Michael Jackson even a point of discussion in this thread?
Nicole, someone made reference to how white looking Victoria’s daughter looked and was questioning if she can look so white from a “black” mother, why can’t Mijac’s “white” children be his biological children.
Teri this is my opinion, I know those are Michael kids. That older boy have the same stance and both boys have those same shaped hands as Michael’s. Paris just look more like whoever her mom might be, lets not forget crazy Joe have blue eyes.
Gosh people stop comparing her daughter to mj kids she the (mother Victoria is half white)and its very possible to produce a white kid with a all white baby daddy But michael js was NOT BIRACIAL(neither is GARCELLE BEAUVAIS(SHE’S HAITIAN FOR GOODNESS SAKES and her sons with her husband mr Nylon look mix not white c’mon people) ANYWAYS BACK TO MICHAEL JACKSON HE LIED SO MANY TIMES ABOUT WHERE HE GOT THOSE KIDS( ESPECIALLY LIL “BLANKET” WITH A BLACK WOMAN YEAAH RIGHT WITH THAT STRAIT SILKY LONG HAIR YEAAH Mmmm ( REMEMBER THE MJ OF THE 1970′S PRE SURGERY WITH HIS FULL AFRO AND VERY AFRICAN FEATURES so who knows where he got thOSE kids from mAybe JUST MAAYBE Dr KLINE HUH?–lol—now M.J u can R.I.P poor self- hating man
ok what are “african features” you need to go to Africa and see the various features…Africa is the most diverse continent on the planet..Let’s not forget that white people live in africa too
I think you were looking for the word “negroid” features but this is offensive so there.
Anyways I do believe that those are Michael’s kids.. Joe and Catherine are not 100 percent African and even if they were there are tribes in Africa with 50 percent paternal ancestry in Europe
The point is the genes are very complex and that explains the many variations of black people.
Vic looks absolutely beautiful in that dress it’s charming and elegant.
My one critic would be the hem line,I’m just not a fan of that sort of cut it looks messy to me.
But otherwise everyone looks lovely and all the comments being made Vic’s daughter are the same as all the other comments when pics of her are displayed.
Is it really that to believe that someone who is half WHITE can produce a WHITE looking child with a WHITE partner.
Victoria’s a beautiful bride, I wasn’t even aware of her getting married. cONGRATULATIONS to her!
As for Maya, she’s DEFINITELY her biological daughter. I read an article on the internet where Victoria was discussing herself and her daughter. They remind me of my own family background.
Victoria looks great. Sometimes she shows her age (which is in the 40’s I think) but here she looking exceptionally youngish here.
Her daughter is quite tall and I’m still a little astounded that she looks like a white girl. I always said that mixed kids are black kids to me, and I would consider her a (white looking) little black girl, but I’m sure she would have a time convincing people that she is black if she told them she was. But if she told me she was mixed, I would still consider her black.
the grooms son and daughter look just like lil Wynton and fits right in the with the family.
And you don’t have to a biracial black person to produce a white-looking child with a white person. it increases the chances of producing a white looking child, but you don’t always have to be mixed yourself to do that. As American blacks are mixed with gods-knows-what you never really know how genes will mix. People think the lighter you are as a black person, the more immediate your white family. Not always true. My hubby is choco colored while I am nearer to peanut butter or a little lighter and he has more immediate whiteness than I do. He has great grands that are white. I am doing fam research and I am back 6 generations and everyone is still black - no white, no indian, just black. There may be white or indian in there somewhere, but they must be further back or further out because I haven’t found them.
However, with that said, I still don’t think MJ kids are biologically his no matter. They have darkened up from what I have seen of the tribute, so I guess there is a chance. But I don’t believe it. I think Debbie and that dentist have more of a chance of being their bio parents than MJ.
Good luck on her marriage.
whew, i could pick out the marsalis boy without even reading lol
I wish Victoria and Radcliffe all the best. I read in the NY Times that Latanya Richardson Samuel L. Jackson wife was the matchmaker for this happy couple and Samuel escorted Victoria down the aisle. CONGRATUALTIONS AGAIN
Her older daughter father is white.
