Paris Jackson And Justin Long Call It Quits After 3 Years

In a candid announcement that left fans shocked, Paris Jackson has announced her split from fiancé Justin Long, ending at least for now their 3-year-long relationship, which appeared headed to forever. The 27-year-old daughter of the pop idol Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, revealed an August plan to attend a "trauma retreat" on X, responding to rumors about her emotional state at the end of July. "Those are breakup tears," she wrote under a viral image of herself sobbing around the time of her father's anniversary.

Her post not only explained what she was feeling, but tacitly confirmed what many had already suspected. Paris and Justin confirmed their engagement in December 2024, which spread love across social media. In a sweet birthday shoutout to Long, Paris gushed that their life together was "an indescribable whirlwind," and raved about her beau being the only person she couldn't picture doing this rollercoaster ride of life without. The emotional post has since been taken down, along with other images of the couple, and Paris is cleansing her digital life during an apparent emotional reset. Paris, who has always been in the public eye, is not only a singer but also a model and is famous for her resilience.
