Paris Jackson has not publicly identified a new boyfriend following her split from musician Justin “Blue” Long. The singer announced their engagement in December 2024 and confirmed the breakup in July 2025. In an August 2026 interview on Call Her Daddy, she explained that ending the engagement was a decision she needed to make for her happiness.
Who Is Paris Jackson Dating Now?
The most accurate description of Jackson’s publicly documented relationship status is that her engagement to Long has ended, while a new partner has not been confirmed. Her decision to discuss the breakup does not establish that she has begun another relationship.
During her 2026 conversation with Alex Cooper, Jackson indicated that she was happy but offered limited information about her present romantic life. That distinction matters because an interview about an ex-partner can quickly be mistaken for a complete update on someone’s dating status.
Jackson works as a singer, songwriter and model, and her public appearances cover several parts of her career. Attending an event with someone, appearing in a photograph or spending time with a collaborator does not by itself identify that person as her boyfriend.
Who Is Justin “Blue” Long?
Justin Long is a music producer and musician who worked within Jackson’s professional world. He is not the actor of the same name known for films such as Accepted and Dodgeball.
Jackson and Long were reported to have started dating in 2022. Their connection therefore developed over approximately two years before she announced their engagement. Music was a central shared interest, and Long was associated with her performances and creative work.
Because both people worked in music, photographs and professional appearances contributed to public interest in their relationship. Nevertheless, their work together and their romantic commitment were separate aspects of their connection. The engagement announcement was the clearest public statement that they intended to marry.
The December 2024 Engagement
Jackson shared news of the engagement in December 2024 through a social media tribute to Long. The announcement included affectionate photographs and brought their relationship to a wider audience.
The news was significant because Jackson had generally disclosed personal details selectively. Rather than a third-party claim about a possible romance, the engagement was something she announced herself.
No wedding followed that announcement. Describing Long as her husband would therefore misstate the relationship. He is her former fiancé, and the distinction remains relevant when older engagement reports appear in searches alongside newer breakup coverage.
How Paris Confirmed Their Breakup
Jackson confirmed the split in July 2025 after photographs of her crying prompted speculation. She clarified that her emotional reaction was connected to a breakup, correcting an interpretation that focused on the anniversary of her father Michael Jackson’s death.
Her response established that the engagement had ended. It did not provide a detailed account of every event leading to the separation, and it should not be read as an invitation to fill those gaps with assumptions.
The timing also explains why some descriptions of her personal life are outdated. A report written when the engagement was announced can be accurate for December 2024 while no longer describing her situation after July 2025. The later confirmation takes precedence when identifying her current relationship publicly.
What She Revealed in August 2026
Jackson revisited the relationship on the August 12, 2026 episode of Call Her Daddy. She described ending the engagement as necessary for her own well-being and said that reaching that decision had required certainty.
Her explanation focused on the difference between recognizing positive qualities in a partner and finding a relationship that meets one’s fundamental needs. She discussed the difficulty of leaving while wondering whether staying longer might eventually make things work.
Those comments supplied a more personal explanation than the brief breakup confirmation from the previous year. They did not amount to a claim that Long had committed a particular wrongdoing. Jackson’s account was about her decision and the standards she wanted for her own future.
Her Earlier Relationship With Gabriel Glenn
Before Long, Jackson had a well-publicized relationship with musician Gabriel Glenn. The two also made music together as The Soundflowers, connecting their personal relationship with a shared creative project.
Their history remains a frequent part of reporting about Jackson because audiences encountered them as both a couple and musical collaborators. However, Glenn belongs to her earlier relationship history and should not be presented as her current boyfriend.
Jackson’s experiences illustrate why a list of names alone is an incomplete dating update. A former collaborator, an ex-boyfriend and a former fiancé describe different connections. Keeping those categories clear avoids suggesting that old photographs document an ongoing romance.
What Is Confirmed as of November 2026?
The confirmed sequence is straightforward: Jackson dated Long, announced their engagement in December 2024, confirmed their separation in July 2025 and discussed her reasons more fully in August 2026.
A new boyfriend has not been publicly established in the verified coverage available for this update. That leaves room for privacy without treating speculation as a fact. Jackson may choose to disclose more about a future relationship, but her statements so far principally explain the end of her engagement and the importance she places on being happy with her decisions.
