Prince Jackson honored his father, Michael Jackson, while announcing his engagement to longtime partner Molly Schirmang.
Prince Jackson marked a major milestone on Tuesday (August 2) by announcing his engagement to longtime girlfriend Molly Schirmang with a touching tribute to his late father, Michael Jackson.
The 27-year-old shared the news on Instagram with a photo slideshow capturing eight years of memories — from vacations to family gatherings — all set to the King of Pop’s 1987 ballad “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” The song choice wasn’t random. It was a clear nod to his father’s influence and presence in his life.
“8 years down [eternity] to go,” Prince wrote in the caption. “Molly and I have spent a lot of time together and made incredible memories. 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.”
The couple met while attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles and have been together since around 2017.
Their relationship has remained mostly private, though Prince has occasionally shared glimpses of their life together on social media.
Among the images in the engagement post was a sweet shot of the couple with Prince’s grandmother, Katherine Jackson, who raised him and his siblings after Michael Jackson’s death in 2009.
Prince, born Prince Michael Jackson Jr. in February 1997, is the eldest of Michael’s three children.
His younger siblings include Paris Jackson and Bigi Jackson. The trio were largely kept out of the public eye during their early years but have since stepped into the spotlight in their own ways.
The couple has not yet shared a wedding date.
