In a heartwarming update from the Jackson family, Michael Jackson’s eldest son, Prince, has shared that he is engaged to his long-time girlfriend Molly Schirmang.
The couple, who have been together for eight years, are now planning their future together, much to the delight of fans around the world.
A Private Romance Finally Public
Prince, 28, and Molly began dating in 2017 and have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
They have occasionally appeared together on red carpets, but until now, the couple’s love story remained largely private.
This Tuesday, Prince took to Instagram to share the joyful news, posting a heartfelt message alongside a series of photos. “8 years down [infinity] to go.
Molly and I have spent a lot of time together and made incredible memories,” he wrote, celebrating their journey together.
Memories Through the Years
The Instagram post included snapshots of the couple traveling the world, enjoying special moments, and even celebrating milestones like Prince’s college graduation.
One particularly touching image featured Molly and Prince sitting alongside his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, 95, highlighting the family’s support for their union.
Prince concluded his post with a sweet note: “I’m excited for this next chapter in our lives as we continue to grow and make great memories.
I love you babs.” Family quickly chimed in, with cousin Taryll Jackson commenting, “Congrats!!!”
Family Connections and Celebrations
The album of memories also showed the couple enjoying outdoor adventures like kayaking, experiencing rainbows, and attending charity events tied to the Jackson family.
Some of these events honored Dee Dee Jackson, the late ex-wife of Tito Jackson, whose tragic passing was tied to her last boyfriend’s conviction.
Sister Paris’s Recent Split
Prince’s engagement comes shortly after his sister Paris Jackson, 27, announced her split from fiancé Justin Long, whom she had been engaged to since December 2024.
It seems both siblings are experiencing major changes in their love lives.
How Their Relationship Blossomed
When Prince and Molly first started dating, he was 20 years old.
In a 2018 interview, he described their bond without revealing her name, emphasizing how they balanced each other out.
“I’m more aggressive, she’s a little softer,” he explained. “Our relationship helps us stay well-rounded, seeing things through each other’s perspective.”
Three years ago, Prince celebrated their fifth anniversary on Instagram with loving words: “Lots of trips, miles, smiles, meals, desserts, and all kinds of adventures in between.
Love you babs.” His family reacted warmly, with aunt La Toya Jackson sending her love and cousins responding with heart emojis.
The Jackson Family Background
Prince is Michael Jackson’s first child with Debbie Rowe, who also gave birth to Paris.
Michael’s youngest, Bigi, formerly known as Blanket, was born via surrogacy.
Prince has always been close to his siblings and has often addressed rumors surrounding his paternity, stating in 2015, “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb … I was raised by my dad with my brother and sister.”
Remembering Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson passed away in 2009 at age 50 due to cardiac arrest after being administered the anesthetic Propofol.
His legacy has been a subject of both admiration and controversy, with lingering public scrutiny over past allegations of child molestation, despite his acquittal in 2005 and ongoing public discussion, including the 2019 docuseries Leaving Neverland.
What’s Next for Prince and Molly
With their engagement now public, Prince and Molly are looking forward to planning their wedding and continuing to build memories together.
Fans and family alike are celebrating this joyful milestone in the Jackson family story.
