Paris Jackson has openly admitted her struggles following the death of her superstar father Michael Jackson and harrowing journey to sobriety from alcohol and heroin.
But her road to recovery appears to be a lighter load with her much older fiancé Justin Long by her side, which was apparent as Paris looked at ease as she and her man walked hand in hand to grab takeout.
But a few days later Paris, 27, showed her glam side as she turned up solo for Thursday’s amFAR Gala in Cannes, France in a daring thigh-baring outfit.
The couple’s stroll in Malibu led them to the trendy cafe Sunlife Organics which caters to her vegan lifestyle.
With six months of engagement under their belt, Paris and Long, 46, were more than comfortable sporting a grungy look as embarked down the empty street on the morning of May 4.
Putting her bleach blonde locks into a messy bun, Paris wore a green long-sleeve shirt with an evil eye motif, black leggings and tan running shoes.

Transforming from the casual look she wore alongside her fiancé earlier this month, Paris glammed up for the Cannes festival’s annual amfAR Gala – bringing high fantasy to the red carpet on Thursday
Long wore a distressed Van Halen t-shirt, accompanied by gray sweats and white Vans-styled sneakers.
Butit was a totally different look in Cannes. As she sauntered down the red carpet for the festival’s annual amfAR Cannes Gala, her slit-way-up-to-there outfit turned heads.
The cream gown was embroidered with a cluster of shimmering silver beads along the neckline and seamlessly transitioned into a structured bodice with daring shoulder pads, drawing attention to her silhouette before cascading into a sheer, floor-length skirt.
The layered design revealed a nude bodysuit underneath, while a racy thigh-high slit offered an alluring glimpse of her toned legs as she walked.
She elevated her outfit with a pair of nude heels and accessorized with silver jewelry.
Paris pulled her blonde locks into a stylish updo and finished off her look with a swipe of satin red lipstick.

Paris and Long wore grungy fits, with the 27-year-old singer sporting a green sweatshirt with an evil eye motif, black leggings and tan sneakers – she had gathered her blonde locs into a messy bun

Her outfit skirted the line of Cannes’ newly implemented dress code, which was devised for ‘the sake of decency’ and bans nudity, long trains and voluminous outfits.
Long wasn’t in France with Paris for the Gala, but the pair were spotted together at another well-known event in February, the Grammy Awards Viewing Party at the Hollywood Palladium.
The couple appeared radiant and in love as they embraced each other for a photo. A stark contrast from the somber reveal Paris had dropped on social media a month prior.
The singer posted a video to Instagram on January 7 revealing that she was five years into her sobriety journey from heroin and alcohol, featuring disturbing clips that showed the darkest moments of her dependence.
‘Hi, I’m pk and I’m an alcoholic and a heroin addict,’ she wrote.
‘Today marks 5 years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol. To say that I’m thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface.
Only a month after she disclosed her harrowing journey to sobriety from alcohol and heroin, Paris was smitten as she posed alongside Long at the Grammy Awards Viewing Party in February
Her emotional post about her five-year sobriety journey on Instagram featured a video compilation of clips from when she was in full-blown addiction, including one where she broke down in tears and was shown curled up in a ball with her hands covering her face

‘It’s because I’m sober that I get to smile today. I get to make music. I get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. I get to feel heartbreak in all its glory. I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust.
‘I feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm. I’ve found that life keeps happening regardless of whether I’m sober or not, but today I get to show up for it.
‘Here’s a little snapshot of what has been possible because of my sobriety, and my god I can’t believe I almost missed it all,’ she finished off the heartbreaking caption.
This confirmed the speculation that had been swirling through the airwaves, despite Paris’ persistent denial.
Even some members of her famous family revealed they were left completely in the dark when it came to her private struggles with addiction.
An insider close to Janet Jackson – Michael’s younger sister – exclusively told DailyMail.com she ‘had no idea’ that her niece was battling addiction and was ‘heartbroken when she found out with the rest of the world’.

Now, Paris appears happier than ever with her soon-to-be hubby Long. While they announced their engagement in December 2024, she was spotted with a ringthe previous September
Paris’s journey to sobriety was complicated by feelings of depression and anxiety. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2017, the singer admitted she had attempted suicide at age 15 and was later hospitalized.
She described how several of her tattoos conceal both track marks from drug use and self-harm scars.
‘It was just self-hatred, low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore,’ she confessed.
The loss of her father, who struggled with his own drug use that led to his death at his Los Angeles mansion at age 50, also contributed to her spiral.
But multiple rehab stints, a therapeutic school she attended for her sophomore and part of her junior year in high school and the supportive love from Long appears to have mended some of those wounds.
The couple are believed to have started dating in 2022, and while it’s unclear when exactly they got engaged – though she was spotted wearing the ring back in September – they announced their joyous moment on December 6, 2024.
‘Happy birthday my sweet blue,’ she wrote in a birthday tribute announcing their engagement.
‘Doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind, and I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with. Thank you for letting me be yours. I love you.’
