Paris Jackson has called off her engagement to sound engineer Justin Long, marking the end of a three-year relationship that had once looked destined for forever. The 27-year-old daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson confirmed the breakup in a tweet responding to speculation about photos of her crying.
"Those are breakup tears," she wrote, dismissing rumors that linked her emotion to the anniversary of her father's death. Though she offered no further comment, fans quickly noticed that multiple photos of Long had been removed from her social media accounts.
The couple had announced their engagement in December 2024 with a heartfelt post on Justin's birthday, calling their journey "an indescribable whirlwind." Their love story began backstage at The Tonight Show, where they shared what Paris described as a moment of instinctual trust.
The wedding had already been in motion—with a dress, a venue, and even an astrologically chosen date. "Because I'm from L.A.," Paris once joked. "All about the crystals and the astrologer."
While she once gushed about the bond they built together, the couple now joins the list of high-profile splits that have shocked fans. Paris, who has been navigating fame since childhood, seemed ready to step into a new chapter, both personally and professionally. The breakup marks not only an emotional shift but possibly a redirection in her public narrative.
Known for her candidness, Paris's transparency on social media suggests a desire to stay authentic in a world quick to speculate. Whether or not she elaborates on the end of her engagement, one thing is certain, Paris Jackson is no stranger to navigating life's transitions in the public eye.
