Michael Jackson's ex-wife Debbie Rowe will not fight for custody of her two children with the late King of Pop, according to reports.

Rowe, the mother of 'Prince' Michael Jr, 12, and 11-year-old Paris, was expected to launch a bid for the pair - following Jackson's sudden death on Thursday.

Although she attempted to surrender her parentage of the kids in 2005, a judge later overturned his ruling - indicating Rowe would take custody following her ex's death.

But sources tell British newspaper The Times the former nurse will let Jackson's mother Katherine take custody, and try to negotiate more access to her children.
