Paris Jackson has confirmed that she and fiancé Justin Long have broken up, ending their engagement that was announced in December 2024. The 27-year-old model and only daughter of the late Michael Jackson made the confirmation in a post on X Thursday, addressing speculation that arose after she was photographed appearing emotional during a public outing in Malibu, California, on July 23. The breakup comes just weeks after the 16-year anniversary of her father’s death.
Photos obtained by Page Six earlier this month showed Jackson appearing distressed during what appeared to be an emotional walk. The images sparked widespread speculation about her personal life and well-being among fans and media outlets. Jackson’s relationship with Long had appeared stable as recently as earlier this month, a stark contrast to other celebrity relationships where partners maintain friendship after breakups, when she shared cozy pictures with him on Instagram while discussing her tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra.
