Paris Jackson, Fiance Justin Long Call Off Engagement
Singer’s relationship ends just 8 months after proposal
In a surprising turn of events, Paris Jackson and her music producer fiancé, Justin Long, have ended their engagement. The news comes eight months after Jackson, daughter of the late Michael Jackson, announced their engagement.
“Break Up Tears” Hint at Split
Paris Jackson posted a cryptic message on X earlier today, referencing “break up tears” in response to paparazzi photos capturing her emotional state. Shortly after, the engagement’s cancellation was confirmed.
Just saw some paparazzi photos of me crying, and people are asking what’s wrong? I’m not okay. I’ve been going through a lot lately, and I’m not ready to talk about it yet. Please respect my privacy.

The precise reasons behind the couple’s sudden split remain undisclosed.
A Whirlwind Romance Ends
Jackson, the daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, had shared details of Long‘s proposal, which took place in Paris, France, last December. At the time, she expressed deep affection for her partner, describing their time together as an “indescribable whirlwind.”
“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.”

The couple is believed to have been dating since 2022. The average duration of engagements in the United States before marriage is approximately 16 months, according to The Knot’s 2023 Real Weddings Study, making this breakup particularly swift after their 8-month engagement period (The Knot, 2023).
Long, based in Los Angeles, has a career as a songwriter, producer, engineer, and mixer. The news leaves fans wondering about the future of the young artist.
