As stated, the "Thriller" singer's daughter has kept her relationship with Long private and rarely shared updates about them on social media. So, who is Paris' fiancรฉ? According to reports, he is a producer, mixer, and music engineer from California who serves as his lover's bandmate.

Although the model recently announced her engagement, Long might have popped the big question at least three months ago. The outlet shared that the model had been spotted rocking her engagement ring as far back as Paris Fashion Week in September.
A month later, she and Long were seen in Los Angeles with the small daschund puppy Paris introduced to her followers earlier this year. The model and her beau were believed to have started dating around June 2022 but had a professional relationship first.
Long first appeared on Paris' social media in a group video with her bandmates two years ago. At the time, he also posted the promotional poster for Paris' appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," noting he had fun working with her for the program.

A year before her engagement, The Blast reported that Paris wouldn't have to worry about her obsessed fan. In September 2023, the man who relentlessly pursued the singer was charged with four criminal counts.
The man's misdemeanors charges included two for "stalking" alongside "loitering to commit a crime" and "harassment on social media." If convicted, he could face up to a year in County Jail for each charge and a $1000 fine.
Paris filed a restraining order against the obsessed fan after he allegedly scaled her fence. She wasn't home during the incident, but reports claimed the man had "looked through her windows" before her friend chased him off and alerted the police.
Given Paris Jackson's low-key management of her relationship, could she secretly tie the knot with Justin "Blue" Long?
