Paris Jackson has subtly dropped the news that she’s engaged to her band mate Justin Long.

The daughter of Michael Jackson shared a photo of music producer Long’s proposal at a lavish venue on Instagram on Friday.

The 26-year-old singer hid the exciting news amid a sweet carousal of photos and videos of them together to celebrate Long’s birthday.

It’s not known exactly when Long, who was first linked to Jackson in 2022, popped the question - although she was spotted wearing an engagement ring in September.

“Happy birthday my sweet blue,” Jackson captioned 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,” she concluded.

Jackson also shared sweet snaps from the proposal on her Instagram Stories, capturing her bending down to kiss Long, before joining him on the floor with her arms wrapped around him.

She added in photos of them travelling, making music, snowboarding, rock-climbing, and hugging backstage at a concert.

Jackson previously dated her former band mate, Gabriel Glenn.

They split in 2020 and she described their break-up as the “most intense betrayal” she had ever experienced at the time.

“It was the deepest I ever loved someone,” she told Willow Smith on Red Table Talk several months after their separation.

“It was the most intense I’ve felt so far and the most intense betrayal I felt so far and experienced,” she recalled.

“It’s definitely closed me off to that, I’m very careful with who I spend time with now and very guarded and trying to protect myself.”

Jackson was linked to Into The Wild actor Emile Hirsch, 39, after the split.

She shut down the romance rumours, explaining that she enjoys “the company of people of all ages”.
