Prince Jackson, the eldest child of the late Michael Jackson, is officially engaged to his longtime love interest, Molly Schirmang. The 28-year-old went on Instagram on Tuesday, August 26, to announce the blissful news to fans. With eight years of companionship between them, the couple has resolved to take the next significant step in their relationship. Prince captioned his touching post, “8 years down (infinity) to go… I’m looking forward to this next chapter of our lives as we keep on growing and making wonderful memories. I love you babs.”
A Glimpse Into Their Journey
The news arrived with a photo carousel of the couple’s romance. The leading picture showed the pair dressed in identical white attire, kissing within a sun-filled park. Other pictures depicted their path through the years—commemorating their Loyola Marymount University graduation, kayaking, hiking, going to events, and visiting together. One such heartwarming moment was a photograph with Prince’s grandmother, 95-year-old Katherine Jackson, before the Jackson family’s Hayvenhurst home in Encino, California.
Family and Fans Cheer
Almost immediately after the news was released, congratulatory messages flooded in. Prince’s cousin Taryll Jackson and TJ Jackson both reacted with delight, with TJ saying, “You both are such beautiful and special souls. I love you and will always be here for you.” Toyia Jackson added her congratulations as well, saying, “We love Molly so much. I’m so happy for you both.”
A Private but Unwavering Relationship
While Prince and Molly have kept their relationship relatively private, they have been constant figures in one another’s lives. Prince made the public introduction of Molly in 2018 with a selfie marking one year together. At the time, he discussed how well their personalities meshed, referring to Molly as a grounding and balancing influence on his life.
