Their split seems to be confirmed by the fact she deleted all the most recent photos of the Street Drum Corps drummer from her Instagram.

A source close to the Jacksons denies the breakup though, though another family confidant says the relationship was doomed from the start.

‘Michael seemed to think that he could treat Paris however he wanted and that she would stay,’ the source claimed. ‘Obviously, he was wrong.’

The had been spending time with Portsmouth FC player Tom whilst he stays in Los Angeles, one month on from her split from Michael. 

However, an insider insists there relationship is platonic at the moment with no hint of romance yet. 

A source told The Sun Online: ‘The TOWIE cast can’t believe it.

‘Tom has been trying to make a name for himself in the States and has managed to become involved in a set made up of aspiring young fashion hopefuls. 

‘They have been getting close and both share the same drive for their careers but it’s believed the relationship is not romantic.’

Paris was first linked to Cara back in March 2017 after putting on an amorous display, just a few months after meeting at the MTV VMA Awards.

After traveling around the world together they were first spotted holding hands outside a Dalston nightclub in November in London. 

‘There’s no denying there’s a spark,’ a source told The Sun at the time. ‘They really hit it off at the MTV Movie and TV Awards in Los Angeles in May [2017] and have been hanging out since … Cara is quite enamoured by the fact Paris is the daughter of one of her musical heroes.’

In April 2021 the duo showed off matching red rose tattoos before heading off to Oscars parties as each other’s dates. 

The musician was dressed to the nines in a white Monique Lhuillier gown as she linked arms with her supermodel bestie for a few shots shared to Instagram.

In 2020, the model opened up about her sexuality, saying she mainly dated women. 

While she insisted when it comes to her romances, it is more about what they are like as a person rather than ‘what’s in their pants’, she confessed: ‘Never thought I’d end up with a dude.’

The model continued: ‘[I] thought I’d end up marrying a chick. I’ve dated more women than men. Been with more chicks.’  

And Paris insists her late father Michael ‘felt the energy’ that she was gay. 

Speaking on her Facebook Watch show, Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn, she shared: ‘I think he felt the energy and he would tease me the same way he’d tease my brothers, like, “You got yourself a girlfriend!” if I were staring at a magazine of a woman too hard.’

‘I’m very lucky to have that, especially so young, eight or nine. Not many children have that experience.’ 

‘The first time I came out to a family member, they didn’t believe me. [Prince] said he just wants to learn more about it, have a better understanding of it. I’m lucky to have that as well.’ 

However not everyone was as aware of sexuality as Michael.

Paris went on: ‘The public only knows about three long term relationships I’ve been with and they’ve been with men. The public doesn’t know about like most of the relationships I’ve been in.’ 

‘I say I’m gay because I guess I am, but I wouldn’t consider myself bisexual because I’ve dated more than just men and women, I’ve dated a man that had a vagina.’ 

‘It has nothing to do what’s in your pants, it’s literally like, what are you like as a person?’ 

Paris admitted things changed after Michael’s death and she had to move in with grandmother Katherine Jackson, claiming she felt she needed to hide who she really was to escape judgment.

‘Homosexuality in general is very taboo in the Black community,’ said the singer-songwriter.

Paris dated her bandmate, Gabriel Glenn, and when they split in 2020 after two years together, Paris described it as ‘the deepest heartbreak I ever experienced’.

Speaking in June 2021 Paris revealed the details about her painful breakup with ex-boyfriend and former bandmate Gabriel during an appearance on Facebook’s Red Table Talk.  

In a candid interview with longtime friend Willow Smith, the actress and musician described her struggles after the couple ended their relationship in August 2020. 

‘It was the deepest heartbreak I ever experienced,’ Paris told Willow in the episode, ‘It was the deepest I ever loved someone, it was the most intense I’ve felt so far and the most intense betrayal I felt so far and experienced.’

‘It’s definitely closed me off to that, I’m very careful with who I spend time with now and very guarded and trying to protect myself.’ She did not further elaborate on the betrayal.

The daughter of the late Michael Jackson and the musician called it quits in after more than two years of dating. The two performed together as a pop-folk band, The Soundflowers and had a Facebook Watch series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn.

A few days before it was revealed that the pair had broken up, she said on the finale episode of their show that they were ‘constantly butting heads.’

She also explained her views on soulmates, saying, ‘I don’t think soulmates are specifically just romantic partners. In one life Gabe was probably my daughter. And in another life he was probably my grandpa and then in another life he was probably my worst enemy.’ 

Paris also described how the two’s astrological signs could come into conflict. ‘A big thing for Aries is we are very impatient, depending on what it is.

‘The people that we love and things that we care about, we have the patience of a saint. But it’s a very interesting dynamic.  

‘We both have double stubborn energy. I’ve always known I was stubborn, and I knew that he was stubborn because he’s a Taurus.’ 

Gabriel said, ‘I think we said when we first got together, even if we didn’t work out as a couple, we always would want to be in a band together. Our music was one thing we wanted to hold on to no matter what.’ 

‘I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future,’ Jackson added. ‘But obviously there’s someone that I strive to be. I want to grow, and I want to become a better person, a better musician…but I can’t do this without Gabe. 

She continued, ‘Gabe showed me love does exist, not just in the movies, and it’s not as pretty as it looks in the movies. It can get ugly and it can be more beautiful than described in the movies and it is possible. 

‘He makes me not feel as alone. He’s had an impact on me and my life and my heart in ways that I cannot even describe. I can’t see my life without him.’
