The late King of Pop’s only daughter, Paris Jackson, posted a carousel featuring memories with her boyfriend and bandmate Justin Long and their recent engagement after two years of dating. It doubled as a birthday celebration post for Justin, who presented Paris with a square-cut diamond ring.
Paris accompanied the touching set of snaps with 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 to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.”

Paris’ post got nearly 280,000 likes and thousands of comments from her followers and Michael Jackson’s fans, who were touched to see her approaching a new phase in life. “Gorgeous. Sending love, honey! What light you both shine!” someone wrote, and many gushed about how good she looked with Justin.
A follower commended the 26-year-old’s ability to keep her engagement news a secret despite being a public figure. “Your ability to keep things private/secret is so impressive. Maybe I just can’t keep my mouth shut,” they told Paris, while someone replied that she did the right thing by breaking the news on her terms.
Paris Jackson’s love life
Paris got together with Justin two years after her relationship with bandmate Gabriel Glenn ended in 2020. She told Willow Smith that her split from Gabriel inspired her music career run in 2021 because she was deeply heartbroken. They both ran a Facebook watch series, Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn, where she admitted to being gay.
While Paris thought she would end up with a woman at the time, her paths crossed with Justin, and they hit things off quickly. They performed together on her BottleRock music festival performance at Napa Valley in 2023, which was the last time Justin posted her on social media.
