The couple's engagement marks a new chapter in Paris's life, as she has largely kept a low profile since her father's passing.
Over the years, Paris—who performs with Incubus—along with her siblings Prince Jackson, 27, and Bigi Jackson, 21, have mostly stayed out of the spotlight since their father's passing.
Despite facing tough times growing up, the siblings had each other, and Paris has always appreciated that bond. She has mentioned that she and Prince were essentially “raised like twins.”
Paris has also been open about grieving her father's loss in her own way. When fans have criticized her for how she commemorates Michael's birthday, she has responded thoughtfully, reflecting on how the King of Pop viewed his own special day.

"So today is my dad's birthday and back when he was alive, he used to hate anybody acknowledging his birthday," Paris began the Aug. 2023 Instagram video. "He actually didn't want us to even know when his birthday was because he didn't want us to throw a party or anything like that."
"That being said, social media is apparently how people express their love and affection these days," she continued, "and if you don't wish someone a happy birthday via social media, it apparently means that you don't love them and you don't care about them. There have been times where I don't post anything for my dad's birthday and people lose their f--king minds."
Over the years, Paris has been candid about her grief and how she honors her father's memory. In a thoughtful response to critics of her social media posts, she shared how Michael Jackson himself didn’t want to celebrate his birthday and would prefer not to be acknowledged on social media. She emphasized that love for her father should not be measured by online posts, urging fans to treat her with kindness and respect.
