2025 has been a year of transformation for Paris Jackson. The 27-year-old singer, actress, and daughter of Michael Jackson has faced public heartbreak, legal battles, and the constant pressures of life in the spotlight, but she’s approaching it all with resilience, reflection, and a commitment to self-care.
To close out the year, Paris visited the scenic trails of Sedona, Arizona, bringing her pup along for a calming road trip. She shared photos and videos with her inner circle, showing smiling friends, serene sunsets, and quiet moments of joy. Dressed in cozy layers, she looked in good spirits as she explored the outdoors and embraced the therapeutic power of nature.
The Sedona posts arrived alongside another deeply personal share. Jackson also reflected on one of the brightest parts of her year, sharing a carousel dedicated to the live shows that shaped 2025 for her. She called it “one of the best years of shows I’ve ever had,” revealing she even flew to London for just 24 hours to see her favorite band perform.

Fans had speculated on the split after a tearful photo surfaced around the anniversary of her father’s death, but Paris addressed it herself on social media. “Those are breakup tears,” she wrote on X on July 31.

Recently, she shared glimpses of doing a limpia, a traditional Latin American energy-cleansing ritual, using sage and a feather to release emotional blockages.

Though she has already received significant benefits from the estate, including millions for housing, travel, and music production, Paris is seeking accountability rather than additional funds. Her legal efforts highlight her growing independence and determination to manage her inherited wealth responsibly.
