Remember that moment in the school cafeteria, when someone dared you to do the robot to “ABC”? Of course you do. You probably nailed it, while your friend just flailed like a startled octopus. That’s the power of the Jackson 5—they’ve been the soundtrack to our most embarrassing and glorious moments for decades.
But here’s a wild thought: In 2026, the youngest Jackson is pushing sixty. Yeah, sixty. Let that sink in while you try not to feel your own knees creak.
The Baby of the Bunch: Michael (If He Were Still Around)
Okay, let’s address the elephant in the room first. Michael Jackson would have turned 68 years old on August 29, 2026. That’s wild, right? Imagine him doing the moonwalk at a retirement party—still out-dancing everyone in orthopedic sneakers.
Must Read
Obviously, we’re talking hypotheticals here. But his voice? That “whoo!” from “I Want You Back”? That’s permanently stuck in our heads, ageless.
Jackie Jackson: The Big Brother Energy
Jackie, or “The Leader” as you might call him, turns 75 in 2026. Born May 4, 1951, he’s officially in the “senior discount at Denny’s” zone. But honestly? He’s still got that calm, cool vibe—like the uncle who gives you cash behind your parents’ backs.
He’s the guy you’d trust to drive the family van on a cross-country trip. And he’d probably play a Motown playlist the whole way, too.
Where is the Jackson 5 now – murder, international icon and predicting
Tito Jackson: The Quiet Rock
Tito hits 73 in 2026 (born October 15, 1953). He’s the one who usually stands in the back, guitar in hand, letting the spotlight hit his brothers. You know the type—the friend who never fights for attention but always has the best stories.
I bet he still plays that guitar every morning with coffee. Like, “Sorry, wife, the blues can’t wait.” Relatable, honestly.
Jermaine Jackson: The Dramatic One
Jermaine? He’s 71 in 2026 (born December 11, 1954). And if you don’t think he’s still rocking a perfectly styled afro or a sequined jacket at brunch, you’re kidding yourself. Jermaine is the guy who never apologizes for being extra.

He’s the one you’d see at a family reunion, arguing about who sang the better high note in “Never Can Say Goodbye.” Spoiler: It was him, according to him.
Marlon Jackson: The Comeback Kid
Marlon turns 69 in 2026 (born March 12, 1957). Nice. He’s the one who often gets overlooked—sorry, Marlon—but he’s also the guy who secretly has the best dance moves in the group. Like, the hidden boss level in a video game.
He’s probably retired and living his best life, laughing at all the chaos from a comfy chair. “You guys argue about the choreography. I’m just here for the royalties.”

Randy Jackson: The Latecomer (The 7th Brother)
Randy wasn’t in the original five, but we’re counting him because he joined later and kept the family brand alive. He’s 64 in 2026 (born October 29, 1961). He’s the baby who had to fight for the tambourine, and honestly, I respect the hustle.
He’s likely the one who still texts the group chat: “Remember when we got booed off stage in 1969?” And everyone else is like, “Randy, we were there. Stop.”
What About the Sisters? (Rebbie, La Toya, Janet)
Quick shout-out to the Jackson sisters, because they’re not the “Jackson 5” but they’re part of the family saga. Rebbie is 76 in 2026. La Toya is 70. And Janet? She’s 60—the youngest of the entire clan.

Janet at 60 is still out there breaking dance floors. I mean, Nasty turned 40 a few years back, and we’re all still trying to keep up.
So, The Big Picture?
By 2026, the Jackson 5 ages span 75 (Jackie) to 68 (Michael, hypothetically). That’s a lot of birthday candles—imagine the fire hazard. But here’s the thing: their music doesn’t age. “I’ll Be There” still hits you in the feels like you’re twelve and crying over a crush.
And honestly? That’s the real magic. You can be 68 or 8, and you still want to clap along to “The Love You Save.” So, next time you hear their music, don’t think about the numbers.
Just dance like it’s 1971, and let your knees complain later. You’ve earned it.
