Paris Jackson Announces Engagement to Producer Justin Long: ‘I Couldn’t Dream of Anyone More Perfect For Me’

Paris Jackson is engaged to longtime boyfriend and bandmate/producer Justin Long. The singer announced the news on Friday morning (Dec. 6) on Instagram with a series of pictures of the happy couple.

“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,” Jackson, 26, wrote.

The accompanying photo roll chronicled their love affair through pictures of the couple smiling in the car, making out in a photo booth, posing in velvety medieval gear, taking naps and hikes and, in the golden shot, Long getting down on one knee to propose. In an accompanying Story, Jackson shared even more images of their adventures, as well additional snaps of the romantic proposal. According to E! News, the couple began dating in 2022.

The only daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson — who released her debut album, Wilted, in 2020 — addressed her sexuality in 2018 after a fan asked if she was bisexual. “That’s what you guys call it so I guess, but who needs labels,” she said a the time in later-deleted post. “How many times have I publicly referred to the community as ‘my fellow LGBTQ+’? like even on stage,” Jackson later tweeted. “I’ve been apart [sic] of the community for years. I even mentioned having crushes on girls when I was 8 in a magazine before. I’ve been caught kissing girls in public. This is not news…”

In a later Instagram Story, Jackson reminded fans that she came out when she was 14 and has frequently referred to “my fellow LBGTQ+” community members on stage. “I’ve talked about having a crush on girls when i was 8 in my Rolling Stone article,” she added at the time. “There are pictures of me kissing girls online. why are people just now saying this is news?”

In the end she said, “and i’m not ‘bisexual,’ i just love people for people. i don’t label myself so please don’t label me.”
