Paris Jackson ended her engagement with her fiancé, Justin Long, last July, but it’s not the first time she has been engaged.

The 28-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson revealed that Justin was actually her second marriage proposal after she secretly got engaged while “strung out on drugs.”

“This is also my second engagement that I called off, the first one. I don’t know if you could count the first one, it was real to me, even though we were strung out on drugs,” she said on Alex Cooper‘s Call Her Daddy podcast.

“And the ring was one that he bought with my money without me knowing, it was still like, the love was so real for me in that first one. So this was like, ‘Ah this is the second one.'”

Paris didn’t name the person she was secretly engaged to, but before Justin, she dated her bandmate, Gabriel Glenn, whom she split from in 2021 after two years together.

The singer was previously addicted to heroin and alcohol, but she marked six years of sobriety in January 2026.

Paris also spoke about her failed engagement to Justin for the first time, admitting she had tried to end their relationship several times, but wondered if she held on, “it would have got better.”

She explained: “I’m the person that needs to be sure. Even though I have a therapist, like a clinical psychologist, a coach, I have, you know, I have got a whole council of people, friends that know a lot about relationships and all the things that I was going through in life at the time that are like, ‘honey,’ in asking me the right questions of like, ‘why would you stay?’

“And my answers weren’t good enough. Just because I’ve realized just because someone is a good person doesn’t mean they’re my person. And I have to be happy. I realized that my non-negotiables are allowed to be non-negotiables.”

She continued: “And if these big major needs are not being met, it doesn’t matter that you’re a good person and you’re not going to cheat on me. That’s not a reason to stay.

“I live in a city where loyalty is not the biggest thing, so sometimes I maybe get it in my head that that’s how most people are.

“I have some of the most incredible men in my life that love their wives, that love their kids, that are just such stand-up dudes that would never dream of [expletive] that up.

“So I know that that exists out there. I can examine the evidence and be like, okay, it does exist. This isn’t the one and only person that’s not going to do that to me.”

Paris confessed that she will now be “pickier” about her next relationship. “I can be a little bit pickier. The bar can be raised a bit because it’s historically been very low.”

Paris started dating Justin in 2022 after they met backstage on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. He is a producer, mixer, and music engineer from California who has worked with Paris behind the scenes at her shows for several years.
