Paris Jackson’s relationships: A look at her love story
Paris Jackson, daughter of the legendary Michael Jackson, has always been in the spotlight, not just for her thriving career, but also for her personal life. Over the years, the famous actress has been linked to a few men and even women before getting engaged to Justin Long.
In the premiere episode of her duo Facebook Watch series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson & Gabriel Glenn, Paris opened up about her sexuality and coming out, saying:
I thought I'd end up marrying a chick. I've dated more women than men. Been with more chicks. The public only knows about three long-term relationships I've been in, and they've been with men. The public doesn't know about, like most of the relationships I've been in.
She added:
I wouldn't consider myself bisexual because I've dated more than just men and women. It has nothing to do with what's in your pants. It has nothing to do with what your XY chromosome makeup is, it's literally just what are you like as a person.
Below is a list of some of the most notable relationships Paris Jackson has been linked to over the years.

Paris’s most serious relationship before her engagement was with popular musician and songwriter Gabriel Glenn. They met while performing music together and later formed a band called The Soundflowers, releasing their self-titled debut EP in June 2020.
The pair dated for approximately two years, officially ending their romantic relationship in August 2020, shortly after their Facebook Watch series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson & Gabriel Glenn aired its finale.
In a June 2021 episode of Red Table Talk with Willow Smith, Paris revealed that the reason for calling it quits with Glenn was because she suffered an “intense betrayal.” She said:
It was the deepest heartbreak I ever experienced. It was the deepest I ever loved someone, it was the most intense I've felt so far and the most intense betrayal I felt so far and experienced.....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.

On the duo’s Facebook Watch series episode finale, before their breakup, Paris claimed her connection with her former flame was crucial to who she wanted to be in life. She said:
I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future. But obviously, there’s someone that I strive to be. I want to grow, and I want to become a better person, a better musician … but I can’t do this without Gabe. Gabe showed me love does exist, not just in the movies, and it’s not as pretty as it looks in the movies.
She added:
It can get ugly, and it can be more beautiful than described in the, and it is possible. He makes me not feel as alone. He’s had an impact on me and my life and my heart in ways that I cannot even describe. I can’t see my life without him.
The American singer also explained her views on soulmates, saying,
I don't think soulmates are specifically just romantic partners. In one life Gabe was probably my daughter. And in another life he was probably my grandpa and then in another life he was probably my worst enemy.
