Paris Jackson and Justin Long have officially ended their engagement, as confirmed by Jackson in a post shared on X. The daughter of the late Michael Jackson expressed her emotional state, mentioning she was shedding “breakup tears” in a recent outing captured by the paparazzi.
Earlier this month, Paris was seen in Malibu, visibly upset during a solo walk, prompting concern from her fans. Responding to the speculation, she clarified, “Those are breakup tears, y’all are fkn reaching again.” This statement comes just weeks after celebrating her father’s 16-year death anniversary.
The couple had been linked since 2022 and got engaged in December 2024, with Jackson previously sharing heartfelt posts about her relationship with Long. Just a month ago, she celebrated five years of sobriety, highlighting the transformative power of her recovery, which she credited for her ability to experience life’s highs and lows, including heartfelt moments like love and heartbreak.
Earlier on, their relationship seemed strong, as Paris had shared fond posts featuring Justin during her summer tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra. However, the recent developments signify a change in that narrative.
While breakups are difficult, Jackson’s journey towards self-acceptance and sobriety remains commendable. Her ability to express her emotions publicly may resonate with many who support her on this journey, suggesting a hopeful path forward as she continues to engage with her passions and personal growth.
