Prince Jackson’s Engagement Brings People to Tears for One Heartfelt Reason

Prince, the eldest of Michael Jackson’s three children, announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Molly, on August 26 — and one touching detail left fans in tears.

In a heartfelt social media post, the 28-year-old shared a carousel of photos set to his late father’s 1987 single “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” He revealed his fiancée only by her first name, Molly, while celebrating their eight-year relationship in the caption.

“8 years down ♾️ to go. Molly and I have spent a lot of time together and made incredible memories,” he wrote.

The first photo featured Prince and Molly dressed in coordinating white and cream outfits, sharing a kiss in a park.

Other photos highlighted the couple’s sweetest memories from their eight years together, including a touching shot with Prince’s grandmother, Katherine Jackson.

Prince’s cousin, Taryll Jackson — son of the late Tito Jackson — joined in the celebration, leaving a comment that read, “😊💙🙏🏽 Congrats!!!”

People were overjoyed by the news, flooding the comments with congratulations and heartfelt messages. Many were especially touched by the song that accompanied Prince’s post.

“Ok it’s the song for me😢,” one person wrote. Fans eagerly joined the conversation, adding, “Announcing love with his father’s song that’s so beautiful and full circle. Wishing them all the happiness,” and “Imagine announcing that you’re engaged and being able to use a song by your dad for it. Wow, iconic.”

Earlier this year, Prince Jackson stepped into the spotlight with a heartfelt social media tribute, offering a candid and compelling glimpse into his personal journey while honoring his iconic father.

Prince Jackson recently lit up Instagram with a carousel of moments from the past months — and one post in particular stole the show. In a candid snap, he shared a nostalgic picture of himself as a newborn, held tenderly by his father. The caption read, “I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and love. I grew up traveling the world because of my father, and even though he’s not here physically, I’m still fortunate enough to see the world and have the experiences I do because of him.”

Fans didn’t hold back: comments poured in with heartfelt reactions like, “The last pic of you and your dad melted my heart,” and “Your dad would be soo proud of you if he was alive, Prince.” Many users noticed his resemblance to his father, “You’re like your father.” It’s a moving reminder that while the King may be gone, his legacy — and his spirit — lives on in his son’s heart.

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s youngest son, “Blanket,” revealed a new nickname as he embarks on a journey to forge a new identity.
