Paris Jackson Confirms Split with Fiancé Justin Long 8 Months After Engagement

The 27-year-old singer has confirmed the end of her engagement to her fiancé eight months after announcing their plans to marry. She shared the update in a social media post addressing recent coverage of her emotional appearance in public.

Paris Jackson has confirmed that she and her fiancé, Justin "Blue" Long, have ended their relationship, bringing their three-year romance to a close. The daughter of late pop icon Michael Jackson addressed the breakup in a post on X on August 1, 2025.

The statement came in response to a Daily Mail headline that speculated about her emotional state, which read, "Paris Jackson sparks concern as she appears to cry during solo walk weeks after dad Michael's death anniversary."

Refuting the publication's assumptions, Jackson commented directly under the article's post, writing, "those are breakup tears. y'all are [expletive] reaching again."

Jackson has since deleted the engagement announcement and other posts featuring Long, including a heartfelt Instagram post made on December 6, 2024.

Last year, when Jackson announced the engagement on social media, netizens reacted to the news by pointing out the noticeable resemblance between her and Long.

From taking road trips together to sharing tender kisses out on the town, Jackson's birthday post gave her followers glimpses into her and music producer Long's loving bond.

A standout photo displayed the pair seated at an event, where Long lovingly placed his hand on Jackson's back as the two looked at something in front of them.

Another image showed an adorable moment of Long and Jackson cuddling in a car traveling through an arid location.

Jackson's carousel also showed the couple's adventurous side, with a few images displaying the two visiting a canyon and, in another instance, enjoying a ski trip.

Mixing some humor into the love-filled post, Jackson included a video showing Long playfully placing his feet right next to her head, which garnered a surprised laugh from the actress, who responded, "No, you didn't!"

A second video included a compilation of footage from moments shared between the duo, featuring scenes of Long and Jackson enjoying themselves at a concert, Jackson playfully licking Long's face, Long interacting with an eagle, and other sweet memories.

Another standout image from Jackson's post showed Long down on one knee, looking up at the actress with what appeared to be an engagement ring box in his hand. The couple shared this special moment in a stunning venue kitted out with gold decorations and extravagant lighting.

"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 [sic]," Jackson captioned the now-deleted post.

A day after Jackson had shared her birthday dedication, several news outlets reported that she and Long recently got engaged.

Upon hearing the news and seeing the photos of the couple, netizens flocked to social media comment sections to assert their opinions, especially concerning their beliefs that Jackson and Long looked alike.

"Now that's a beautiful blue eyed [sic] couple. I can already see what their babies will look like. They actually look like each other," observed a fan on Instagram, while a Facebooker chimed in with, "Twins congratulations 🎊 [sic]."

An observer remarked, "Idk them, but they look alike 😂." Some people even took the resemblance discussion a step further by expressing how Jackson and Long looked related, with a spectator opining, "These two look more like brother and sister than her own siblings!!!"

"They literally look like siblings 😂," echoed an Instagrammer. A spectator added, "Paris and Justin have very similar faces, they could have easily been brother and sister."

Responding to this comment, a netizen marveled, "they [sic] look like clones of each other!" Someone else reiterated, "Look like brother and sister [sic]."

Focusing on a specific physical similarity, a Facebooker asserted, "They have the same hairstyle," while another pondered, "Is that the same person?"

Jackson and Long had known each other for a while. According to both of their social media posts, their history extended back to 2022, which was the same year Long first posted about Jackson on June 21, 2022.

At that time, the singer had an appearance on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon." "Funnnnnnnnn In NYC today doing sound for @parisjackson on @fallontonight," shared Long in his post's caption.

Numerous posts made by both of them in 2023 showed that the couple had worked together. Long, who is a sound engineer, producer, mixer, and songwriter at Trust In Justin Productions, had collaborated with Jackson at events and on her records.

In May 2023, the Grace College & Seminary graduate handled the sound for Jackson's performance at Bottlerock. He shared a post that showed him mixing on a sound engineering device situated away from the main stage, where Jackson was heard singing with her band.

On June 24, 2023, Long shared another post, which revealed that he recorded Jackson's vocals for artist Steinza's song "Blue Moon," which Jackson featured on.

Jackson had spotlighted her collaborations with Long on her Instagram as well. She posted a video of her Bottlerock festival performance, where Long took care of sound engineering, and gave him a shout-out in her caption.

Earlier that same year (February 2023), "The Habit" star posted about her then-new song "bandaid" on Instagram, where she tagged Long as one of the people who helped bring the track to life.

Outside of his musical endeavors, according to his LinkedIn profile, Long is the "creator of Dayly for iOS." He has also worked as a Marketing Manager for Kids v Cancer and a Manager of Business Development at B.I.G. Enterprises, Inc.

Before popping the question to Jackson, Long's beloved sat down for a conversation with her longtime friend and fellow talented singer Willow Smith on "Red Table Talk" in June 2021. During the discussion, the topic veered toward marriage.

After Smith asked Jackson about her views on the subject, Jackson divulged, "Right now, I'm married to music and I have been. Whatever happens, happens. I'm not against marriage. If I'm happy and I love someone, sure, but, right now my main thing is my spirituality and my music and like, doing what is right for me right now."

She also clarified, "I'm too young to think about that," before disclosing that she may consider having kids after Smith questioned her about children.

Now that the couple has parted ways, Paris Jackson has not shared any further comments, and it remains to be seen what comes next in her personal journey.
