SHOCKING SPLIT! Paris Jackson and Justin Long Call Off Engagement After Whirlwind Romance

The entertainment world is reeling with news of the shocking breakup between Paris Jackson, the 27-year-old daughter of the King of Pop Michael Jackson, and her fiancé Justin Long, 46. The couple's whirlwind romance has come to an abrupt end just over a week after Paris was spotted crying in public, sparking concerns about their relationship.

According to sources close to the couple, the two have gone their separate ways, with Paris confirming the breakup on X (formerly known as Twitter) on Thursday. In her post, she hinted that the tears seen on July 23 were indeed "breakup tears," leaving fans and friends stunned by the sudden turn of events.

TheScholarlyNote.com has reached out to Jackson's representatives for comment but is still waiting to hear back. This development comes as a surprise to many who thought Paris and Justin had it all – love, happiness, and a stunning engagement ring.

Just last year in December, Paris announced her engagement to Justin with a romantic post on Instagram, captioning a photo of the two gazing lovingly into each other's eyes: "Doing like this with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind... I couldn't dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you." The post, which has since been deleted from her Instagram account, showed Justin taking a knee as he proposed to Paris in an ornate theater lobby.

However, fans noticed that Paris had been wearing her engagement ring as recently as June during the Tribeca Festival. She walked the red carpet with Justin by her side, and even mentioned that she was focused on wedding planning in an interview with Access Hollywood just days later.

Paris and Justin's whirlwind romance has captivated fans worldwide, but it seems that their fairy tale love story was not meant to be. As news of the breakup spreads like wildfire, friends and family members are coming forward to offer their support to Paris during this difficult time.
