The Truth About Paris Jackson And Michael Snoddy's Relationship

It looks as though Paris Jackson has been focusing primarily on her career in recent times, but she's had her share of relationships too. Over the last couple of years, she's often been linked with her close pal Cara Delevingne (via Cosmopolitan), but let's cast our minds back four or five years to when the now-23-year-old was in a relationship with musician Michael Snoddy (via E!).

The pair got together after Jackson's relationship with football player Chester Castellaw ended, and afterward, she was linked to the likes of model Tyler Green — and yes, Delevingne — but what happened between her and Snoddy? They were together for about a year and were seen at Jackson's 18th birthday alongside each other, but called it a day in February 2017 — and apparently, it was Paris who initiated the breakup (via PopSugar). Here's the truth about their relationship, and what really went down.

A source suggested the breakup would only be temporary

Per E!, Paris Jackson and Michael Snoddy started dating in the spring of 2016 but broke up in February 2017, a source at the time claiming that "She's young ...For now, she's focused on work." While together, the couple often showed each other off on social media and were frequently seen going on vacation together (via People) — Snoddy even joined his then-girlfriend on a poignant trip to Neverland Ranch, famously the home of her late father, legendary singer Michael Jackson (via People). 

Ultimately, however, and perhaps unsurprisingly given their young ages, it wasn't to last. That said, it's thought that the split was amicable, a source telling Us Weekly at the time that the breakup could have just been temporary. So even though it's over four years since their split, could there be unfinished business there? Jackson might be concentrating on her career at the moment, but perhaps the two will one day reunite.
