Paris Jackson, the daughter of the late pop icon Michael Jackson, has shared the exciting news of her engagement to music producer Justin Long. The couple, who have been together since 2022, made their announcement on December 6.

Jackson, who has kept much of her relationship out of the public eye, revealed the engagement in a heartfelt Instagram post, coinciding with Long’s birthday. She referred to him as "Blue" and expressed her deep affection in the post: "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."

Who Is Justin Long?

Justin Long has an interesting background. He graduated in 2007 from Grace College & Seminary in Indiana, where he earned a degree in marketing and business administration. Initially, Long worked in the business sector but shifted his focus to music in 2013.

Since 2005, Long has built a successful career as a music producer, engineer, and songwriter. He made a name for himself working at Barefoot Recording in Los Angeles, collaborating with well-known labels like Warner Brothers and Capitol. His work includes contributions to artists such as 5 Seconds of Summer, Nickel Creek, and Grace Potter.

Long and Jackson’s Professional and Personal Bond

Long and Jackson's professional paths crossed in 2022 when they began working together. He was involved in several of her live performances, including her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and her set at the Bottlerock Music Festival in 2023.

Their collaboration soon turned into a romance, though the timeline of their relationship remains a bit unclear. Jackson acknowledged Long’s contribution to her song “Bandaid” in February 2023. She later revealed on Instagram that they have been romantically involved for "years."

The couple got engaged in 2024, with Jackson sharing photos of the special moment. Long proposed in a beautiful setting, presenting Jackson with a ring. She had also been seen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring during Paris Fashion Week in September.

A New Chapter of Love and Creativity

Before Long, Jackson was in a two-year relationship with bandmate Gabriel Glenn, which ended in 2020. Reflecting on her past heartbreaks in a 2021 interview, she shared how she had grown more cautious in her approach to love. While she had once been hesitant about marriage, her engagement to Long marks a new chapter filled with love, creativity, and mutual support.
