Prince Jackson, the eldest son of the late Michael Jackson, has officially taken the next step: he’s engaged! This exciting milestone marks the culmination of an eight-year romance with his college sweetheart, Molly Schirmang. Notably, he chose one of his father’s iconic songs to announce the news, blending heartfelt sentiment with legacy.
To share the joyful news, Prince posted a carousel of touching photos on Instagram—each accompanied by the melody of Michael Jackson’s 1987 classic, “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You.” In his caption, he warmly reflected:
“8 years down ♾️ to go. 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.”
Prince’s extended family was quick to celebrate in the comments—his cousin Taryll Jackson simply wrote, “Congrats!!!” Moreover, using his father’s song as the soundscape for the announcement added a deeply emotional layer, underscoring the enduring influence of Michael Jackson’s musical legacy.
Reflections on Their Relationship
Since their college days at Loyola Marymount University, Prince and Molly have fostered a grounded, balanced relationship. As Prince formerly shared in an interview, their personalities complement one another—his more assertive nature offset by her gentler presence, helping them stay “well-rounded.”
