Prince Jackson Engaged to Molly Schirmang After 8 Years Together
Kai Montgomery here, reluctantly breaking down yet another celebrity milestone because apparently, someone thought I had nothing better to do. Look, I don’t *want* to be the one to say it, but yes, Prince Jackson, eldest son of the late Michael Jackson, is officially off the market. And no, it’s not a surprise to anyone who’s been paying attention for the last eight years.
Prince Jackson, 28, took to Instagram on August 26 to announce his engagement to longtime girlfriend Molly Schirmang, sharing a series of photos that included a sweet kiss, a hiking adventure, a kayaking session, and—because legacy matters—a snapshot with his grandmother Katherine Jackson at the Hayvenhurst estate. The post was captioned with a heartfelt message: “Molly and I have spent a lot of time together and made incredible memories. We’ve traveled the world, graduated and grown so much together. I’m excited for this next chapter in our lives as we continue to grow and make great memories. I love you babs.”
For those who thought this might come out of nowhere, you clearly haven’t been paying attention. The couple has been together since 2016, and while Prince has kept their relationship mostly private, he’s been open about how much family means to him. In a 2022 interview with E! News, he shared how he keeps his father’s memory alive in his home, displaying photos and paintings of the King of Pop. “I like to lead my life with love, which is what he taught me,” he said. “I try to help at least one person a day and I feel like that is a way of continuing his legacy.”
The engagement news comes amid a wave of high-profile celebrity proposals this year. From Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez to Zac Brown and Kendra Scott, it seems like everyone’s getting in on the ring action. But Prince’s announcement stands out—not just because of his famous last name, but because of the sincerity and grounded nature of his message.
Let’s be real, though: this isn’t just a love story. It’s also a quiet reclamation of a family name that’s been through the wringer. Prince has spent years navigating the weight of his father’s legacy, the scrutiny of the public eye, and the trauma of loss. Yet here he is, choosing to build a future on his own terms—with someone he clearly adores.
Molly Schirmang, an alum of Loyola Marymount University like Prince, has largely stayed out of the spotlight, which might explain why this engagement feels so refreshingly low-drama. The couple met during their college years and have grown up together, navigating life under the radar while still honoring the past.
As for what’s next? No official wedding date has been announced, but if their Instagram post is any indication, family and tradition will play a big role. That photo with Katherine Jackson wasn’t just for show—it was a quiet nod to where Prince comes from and where he’s headed.
So yes, another celebrity engagement. Yawn. But if you’re going to roll your eyes at this, at least do it with a little respect. This one actually feels real. And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things—because when we do, we ruin them by overanalyzing.
