Paris Jackson has announced she’s engaged to bandmate Justin Long.
The model, 26, revealed she is set to marry the music producer in an Instagram post on Friday, sharing a sweet snap of the proposal and a montage of their time together.
Paris, who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, posted the news while paying tribute to Justin – nicknamed Blue- on his birthday.
She wrote: ‘Happy birthday my sweet blue. doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and i couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. thank you for letting me be yours. i love you. [sic].
Paris is believed to have started dating Justin in 2022.
Prior to that she dated another bandmate, Gabriel Glenn, and when they split in 2021 after two years together, Paris described it as ‘the deepest heartbreak I ever experienced’.
Paris Jackson is engaged. The singer revealed she is set to marry her boyfriend, music producer Justin Long , sharing a sweet snap of the proposal.
She wrote in the caption: ‘Happy birthday my sweet blue. doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and i couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me’
Paris was 11 when Michael passed away and she and her brothers Prince, 24, and Blanket, 19, went to live with their grandmother, Katherine, 91.
She shared on Red Table Talk: ‘It was the deepest I ever loved someone, it was the most intense I’ve felt so far and the most intense betrayal I felt so far and experienced.’
‘It’s definitely closed me off to that, I’m very careful with who I spend time with now and very guarded and trying to protect myself.’ She did not further elaborate on the betrayal.
In 2020, the model opened up about her sexuality, saying she mainly dated women in the past.
Paris, who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, insisted when it comes to her romances, it is more about what they are like as a person rather than ‘what’s in their pants’.
She said: ‘Never thought I’d end up with a dude.’
The model continued: ‘[I] thought I’d end up marrying a chick. I’ve dated more women than men. Been with more chicks.’
And Paris insists her father Michael Jackson ‘felt the energy’ that she was gay.
Speaking on her Facebook Watch show, Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn, she added: ‘I think he felt the energy and he would tease me the same way he’d tease my brothers, like, “You got yourself a girlfriend!” if I were staring at a magazine of a woman too hard.’
‘I’m very lucky to have that, especially so young, eight or nine. Not many children have that experience.’
‘The first time I came out to a family member, they didn’t believe me. [Prince] said he just wants to learn more about it, have a better understanding of it.’
‘I’m lucky to have that as well.’
However not everyone was as aware of sexuality as Michael.
‘The public only knows about three long term relationships I’ve been with and they’ve been with men.’
‘The public doesn’t know about like most of the relationships I’ve been in.’
‘I say I’m gay because I guess I am, but I wouldn’t consider myself bisexual because I’ve dated more than just men and women, I’ve dated a man that had a vagina.’
‘It has nothing to do what’s in your pants, it’s literally like, what are you like as a person?’
Paris admits things changed after Michael’s death and she had to move in with grandmother Katherine Jackson.
She said she felt she needed to hide who she really was to escape judgment.
‘Homosexuality in general is very taboo in the Black community,’ said the singer-songwriter.
But she finally felt at ‘home’ with boyfriend and The Soundflowers bandmate Gabriel, whom she began dating in March 2019.
The couple admitted they fell ‘head over heel[s]’ in love immediately upon meeting, with Paris adding that ‘within a week, I was living in his van.’
‘The only home I ever had before was my dad. Now I have Gabe, I’m very lucky,’ said Jackson.
