Michael Jackson’s eldest son, Prince Jackson, just shared some joyful news. He’s engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Molly Schirmang, after eight years together. The 28-year-old son of the King of Pop has kept his relationship with Molly relatively private, but fans have seen glimpses of their romance over the years, from sweet Instagram posts to appearances on red carpets. Now, the couple is ready to step into their next chapter together.
On Tuesday, Prince took to Instagram to reveal the exciting milestone with a heartfelt post. He shared a carousel of photos chronicling their journey, including vacations, cozy moments, and even a snapshot of Molly with his grandmother, Katherine Jackson, who is now 95.

"I’m excited for this next chapter in our lives as we continue to grow and make great memories. I love you babs"
A Love That Grew With Time
Prince and Molly began dating in 2017 when he was just 20. A year later, Prince opened up about his relationship, noting how complementary their personalities were. “I think I’m a certain way, and she’s very… complementary in a way that we balance each other out,” he told People. “I’m more aggressive, she’s a little softer. It helps us stay well-rounded.”
Fans have watched the relationship blossom through occasional anniversary posts. In 2020, Prince marked their fifth year together with photos from their adventures and a loving message: “Lots of trips, miles, smiles, meals, desserts and all kinds of adventures in between. Love you babs.”
Family Ties and Public Spotlight
As the eldest of Michael Jackson’s three children, Prince has grown up in the spotlight. He shares a close bond with his siblings: Paris Jackson, 27, who recently went through a breakup with Justin Long, and Bigi Jackson, 23, who has largely stayed out of public view.
