Paris Jackson and her fiancé Justin Long have called it quits.
The singer-songwriter, 27, and her music producer beau have broken off their engagement, PEOPLE confirms.
Jackson shared the split news in a post shared to X on Thursday, July 31, in which she said that she was crying “breakup tears” in emotional photos published by the Daily Mail earlier this month.
The “Hit Your Knees” singer — who has spent the summer on tour with Incubus — announced her engagement to Long in December, writing in an Instagram post that she “couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect” for her.

“Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind,” she wrote in the post, which has since been deleted. “Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.”
In June, Jackson told Access Hollywood that she was in wedding planning mode.
“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 said. “I’m all about the crystals and the astrologer, and all that stuff.”
That same month, Long joined her on the red carpet for the Tribeca Festival premiere of her film One Spoon of Chocolate.
Jackson, the daughter of Michael Jackson and Debbie Rowe, previously spoke about marriage in a 2021 episode of Red Table Talk.
“I’m not against marriage and if I love someone, sure, but right now my main thing is my spirituality and my music,” she told Willow Smith, adding that it’s a “maybe” when it comes to having children in the future.
She also revealed on the Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn Facebook Watch series that she’s “dated more women than men” in her life.
“I thought I’d end up marrying a chick,” she said. “I say I’m gay because I guess I am, but I wouldn’t consider myself bisexual because I’ve dated more than just men and women, I’ve dated a man that had a vagina… It has nothing to do with what’s in your pants, it’s literally like, what are you like as a person?”
Jackson, who celebrated five years of sobriety from alcohol and heroin addiction in January, released her debut album Wilted in 2020. She’s since released a number of EPs and singles.
On July 18, she celebrated her time on the road with Incubus, writing on Instagram, “It’s been a hell of a summer so far.”
