Paris Jackson has revealed she secretly got engaged while 'strung out on drugs'.

In a new interview, the singer, 28, who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson, also broke her silence on calling off her engagement to Justin Long.

Paris and bandmate Justin split last year, just months after he proposed at the theatre. They had been together for around three years.

Speaking on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, Paris reflected on her failed romances.

She said: 'This is also my second engagement that I called off, the first one. I don't know if you could count the first one, it was real to me, even though we were strung out on drugs, and the ring was one that he bought with my money without me knowing, it was still like, the love was so real for me in that first one,

'So this was like "ah this is the second one."'

Paris, who marked six years of sobriety earlier this year, was previously addicted to heroin and alcohol.

The singer described using these substances as a way to cope with depression and emotional trauma following the death of her father.

She said: 'If I have a hit of weed or a drink, I'm going to go back on heroin. I realised I couldn't stop after I'd gotten rid of like some of the harder stuff and I realised even with weed and alcohol, I was like, I just couldn't stop and it was just getting worse.

'I had my breaking point, I had my bottom. It just kind of did it for me.'

Explaining why she called off her engagement to Justin, Paris said while there were times where she did try and end it, there was part of her that wondered if she held on, 'it would have got better'.

She said: 'I'm the person that needs to be sure. Even though I have a therapist, like a clinical psychologist, a coach, I have, you know, I have got a whole council of people, friends that know a lot about relationships and all the things that I was going through in life at the time that are like, "honey", in asking me the right questions of like, "why would you stay?"

'And my answers weren't good enough.

'Just because I've realised just because someone is a good person doesn't mean they're my person. And I have to be happy. I realised that my non-negotiables are allowed to be non-negotiables.

Paris announced her engagement to Justin in December 2024. They split just a few months later

'And if these big major needs are not being met, it doesn't matter that you're a good person and you're not going to cheat on me. That's not a reason to stay.

'I live in a city where loyalty is not the biggest thing, so sometimes I maybe get it in my head that that's how most people are.

'I have some of the most incredible men in my life that love their wives, that love their kids, that are just such stand-up dudes that would never dream of f*g that up. So I know that that exists out there. I can examine the evidence and be like, okay, it does exist. This isn't the one and only person that's not going to do that to me.'

Paris said taking time to be single after her failed engagement made her realise she didn't want to 'overlook a bunch of things'.

She added: 'I can be a little bit pickier. The bar can be raised a bit because it's historically been very low.'
