Prince Jackson announced his engagement to his long-time partner, Molly, with a heartfelt social media post that included a sweet tribute to his late father, Michael Jackson.
The 28-year-old took to social media on Tuesday, August 26, to share his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Molly.
In the touching announcement, Prince posted a carousel of images set to his father's iconic 1987 hit, 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You,' with the first photo capturing a tender moment between him and his partner.
The couple, dressed in coordinating white and cream outfits, shared a kiss in a park, embodying the joy and love they’ve built over their eight-year relationship.
“8 years down ♾️ to go. Molly and I have spent a lot of time together and made incredible memories,” Prince wrote in the caption. “We’ve traveled the world, graduated, and grown so much together. I’m excited for this next chapter in our lives as we continue to grow and make great memories. I love you babs.” He signed off with a blowing kiss emoji.
Other photos in the post highlighted more of the couple’s sweetest moments, including one with Prince’s paternal grandmother, Katherine Jackson, and a shot from his college graduation, where Molly was by his side.
Prince’s cousin, Taryll Jackson, son of Michael’s brother Tito, congratulated the couple in the comments, writing: “Congrats!!!”
His other cousin, the daughter of Michael's brother Jackie, also chimed in: "Congratulations!!"
While Prince kept Molly’s full identity private in his announcement, he had previously shared glimpses of their relationship on social media.
On March 13, 2018, he posted a photo to mark their first anniversary, capturing a sunny day in San Francisco with a selfie of the two outdoors.
“I had such an amazing time in San Fran celebrating our year together,” he wrote in the caption.
His sister, Paris Jackson, shared her support by commenting: “Warms my heart to see how much joy you two bring each other. Happy anniversary love y’all.”
Later that year, Prince opened up about his relationship with Molly at the Dee Dee Jackson Foundation’s 3rd Annual Costume for a Cause event.
He spoke about how they complement each other, noting that while he’s more “aggressive,” Molly’s “softer” nature balances him out.
He said she "encourages" him to "see things through a different light," adding: “It helps us stay well-rounded,” per PEOPLE.
The announcement of his engagement comes at a time when the Jackson family is facing public scrutiny, particularly concerning Michael Jackson’s estate.
Prince’s sister, Paris, has raised concerns about "irregular payments" from the estate and accused the executors of "skimming money," The Independent reported.
In response, Jonathan Steinsapir, an attorney for the estate, defended the actions, stating that “the historic turnaround and success of the Estate of Michael Jackson on behalf of his children speaks for itself.”
