Paris Jackson opened up about calling off her engagement to actor Justin Long, telling Alex Cooper on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast Wednesday that being with someone "kind" and "faithful" wasn't enough to keep her in a relationship that wasn't meeting her deeper needs.

Jackson, 28, said she'd tried to end things with Long more than once before finally following through, describing the pull to stay as rooted in hope that the relationship would eventually change, according to Reality Tea. She and Long, who got engaged in December 2024 after two years together, confirmed their split in July 2025.

Michael Jackson's daughter has been increasingly open in recent interviews about her mental health and sobriety journey, and Wednesday's episode continued that trend, with Jackson framing the breakup as an act of self-preservation rather than a reflection on Long's character.
