Late Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris Jackson is starting the new year taking stock of a crucial life decision she made five years ago. The newly engaged singer marked her 5-year sobriety journey with a collage of her journey so far. Jackson famously battled drug addiction in the past and now has a fairytale wedding to look forward to. The singer posted on Instagram that it has been half a decade since she decided to rewrite her story. She began the lengthy caption by introducing herself and admitting that she was “an alcoholic and a heroin addict.” The 26-year-old added:
“Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all the drugs and alcohol.”
Jackson stressed that gratitude would not fully convey her joy from being able “to smile today.” She added that she loves her pet animals and experience “heartbreak in all it’s glory.” Jackson noted that it felt good to “feel the sun on her skin and it’s warm.” The singer reiterated that she has discovered on her journey that “life keeps happening regardless” of the situation.
Paris Jackson’s Friends Are ‘Proud’ of Her
Jackson noted to viewers that the clips are proof of “what has been possible because of my sobriety.” She concluded the post, by expressing her shock that addiction almost took all the good memories away from her. Her celebrity friends and fans swarmed her comment section in no time, echoing their pride. Paris Hilton noted that she was “proud” of the 26-year-old for turning her life around.
Another commenter shared that they recently celebrated “7 years” of being alcohol and drug-free. This user described Jackson as “INSPiRATiONAL,” reminding her never to forget how “LOVED” she is. Another fan declared they were “grateful” to witness Jackson “blossom into the light” she has become. A commenter cheered Jackson on, reiterating that she deserved “all the happiness” in the world.
We shared that 2024 wrapped up nicely for the singer and her beau, who put a ring on it. After months of engagement rumors, Jackson shared the news on her Instagram on her boyfriend’s birthday. She posted pictures celebrating her man, including images of them kissing and traveling.
Paris Jackson Announced Engagement to Justin Long in December
Jackson attached a loving picture of Long popping the question as she thanked him for his love. She penned in the caption that doing life with Long over the years “has been an incredible whirlwind.” The 26-year-old confessed that she “couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect” for her to end up with. She concluded the post by thanking the music producer for “letting me be yours,” adding, “I love you.”
Jackson shared more pictures from the intimate proposal on her Instagram Story, including them sharing an emotional embrace. She gave fans a closer look at the rock, which sat nicely on her well-manicured hands. According to her post, the engagement occurred in a tastefully furnished, large hotel room with gold decor.
Long was spotted getting down on one knee, dressed and dapper in a white dress shirt and black pants. Jackson, the bride-to-be, accepted the proposal, looking chic in a tan sweater, blue shorts, and black tights. She paired her look with knee-high boots and a brown hat, holding a jacket. The two had earlier sparked engagement rumors when she wore a shiny ring in September.
The pair’s future has been written in the stars when they began as mere bandmates. Before confirming her romantic relationship with Long, Jackson was linked to Gabriel Glenn, her bandmate. Their relationship lasted for two years before parting ways in August 2020. Jackson and Long’s friendship finally transitioned into something more in 2022, and they are now set to be together forever.
Congratulations are in order for Paris Jackson on this mindblowing milestone!
