Paris Jackson Confirms She’s No Longer Engaged to Justin Long After Tearful Photos Surface originally appeared on Parade.

Earlier this week, paparazzi photos of Paris Jackson crying in Malibu made the rounds online, leaving fans wondering if the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe was okay. Now, she’s set the record straight: she and her fiancé, Justin Long, are no longer together.

“Those are breakup tears. y’all are fkn reaching again,” Paris, 27, wrote on Thursday, July 31 via X (formerly Twitter), referring to the emotional July 23 photos published by the Daily Mail. In the images, she’s visibly upset during a solo walk with her phone in hand.

It didn’t take long for fans to flood the comments with support.

“People forget you’re human too. Whatever you’re going through, sending you strength and peace,” one person wrote.

“Plenty more fish in the sea,” pointed out another.

“YALL BROKE UP OH MY GOSH IM SORRY FOR THAT WHAT,” chimed in a third.

“So sorry bb, hang in there, we love you,” someone else added.

And in classic internet form: “Well can i be a rebound.”

Paris and Long, 47, were first linked in 2022, after meeting backstage at The Tonight Show where she was the musical guest and he was working sound. They kept things mostly private, but fans got occasional glimpses of their relationship through studio updates, tour photos, and collaborative projects. By December 2024, Paris made it Instagram official: she shared Long’s proposal as part of a birthday tribute.

“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,” she wrote at the time. “thank you for letting me be yours. i love you.”

The post included photos of Long on one knee and Paris leaning down to kiss him. That announcement has since been removed from her feed.

Just a few weeks ago, things still seemed solid. On July 18, Paris shared a post from her summer tour with Incubus and Manchester Orchestra. “It’s been a hell of a summer so far,” she wrote, alongside photos that included Long backstage.

And just a month before that, wedding planning was full speed ahead. “The dress is being made, the venue has been picked and the date has been picked by an astrologer, because I’m from L.A.,” she told Access Hollywoodin June.

The timeline now feels painfully abrupt. One minute: custom dress, astrologer-picked date, red carpets. Next: crying in bike shorts in Malibu, breakup confirmed via social media.

It’s not the first time Paris has been candid about heartbreak. In 2021, she told Red Table Talk she was “very careful with who I spend time with now and very guarded.” After her split from bandmate Gabriel Glenn in 2020, she said she wasn’t ruling out marriage but was focused on music and spirituality.

Long, for now, has remained silent—no word yet on whether he’ll address the split publicly.
