Prince Jackson, the eldest son of music legend Michael Jackson, has announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Molly Schirmang, after eight years together.
The 27-year-old, who began dating Molly in 2017, shared the joyful news on Instagram Tuesday, posting a heartfelt message alongside a photo album filled with memories of their relationship.
“8 years down, infinity to go,” Prince wrote. “Molly and I have spent so much time together, creating incredible memories. We’ve traveled the world, graduated, and grown together. I’m excited for this next chapter in our lives. I love you, Babs.”
One of the photos featured Prince and Molly alongside his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, 95, highlighting the family’s blessing for their engagement.
Family & Fans React
Prince’s cousin, Taryll Jackson—son of Tito Jackson of the Jackson 5—was among the first to congratulate the couple, commenting: “Congrats!!!”
Other family members and fans flooded the post with love:
- “Your father would be so happy for you,” one fan wrote.
- “You are such a beautiful couple. Michael is smiling down on you,” another added.
A Love Story Eight Years Strong
Though Prince and Molly have kept their relationship mostly private, they’ve occasionally appeared together at red carpet events. In 2018, Prince hinted at their strong bond in an interview, describing Molly as his “complementary balance.”
“I think in everything there’s an important balance,” he told People. “I’m more aggressive; she’s softer. She helps me see things differently, and I do the same for her.”
Their journey together has been marked by shared milestones—college graduation, international travels, charity events, and supporting each other’s personal growth.
Timing With Family News
Prince’s happy news comes just weeks after his sister, Paris Jackson, reportedly ended her engagement to actor Justin Long.
Despite the contrasting updates, fans say the announcement is proof of the Jackson family’s enduring resilience and legacy of love.
Internet Reactions
The engagement has quickly become a trending topic, with fans praising the couple:
- “A match made in heaven! Congratulations you two 🫶❤️.”
- “Wow, King of Pop’s son is all grown up. God bless your union.”
- “Michael would be so proud right now.”
