Prince Jackson, the 28-year-old son of the iconic late singer Michael Jackson, was all smiles during his latest trip to Sydney, Australia, accompanied by his romantic partner, Molly Schirmang. The couple made a rare public appearance at the opening night of "MJ: The Musical" where they celebrated the late performer's legacy.
Despite Prince's preference to keep his personal life private, he decided to share a glimpse at his relationship while documenting the highlights of his trip. Prince took to social media to share photos of the couple's sweet moments together and other special moments from their outings in Sydney.
"We flew down to Sydney, Australia to celebrate the premier of the 5th company of [MJ: The Musical], he wrote on Instagram, detailing every photo. "We walked around the beautiful city of Sydney and it was really cool to see [MJ: The Musical] everywhere."
"Of course we had to stop and see the Sydney Opera House," he wrote, sharing a selfie with his girlfriend, smiling at the camera and looking happier than ever.
"We walked over 10 miles starting at Bondi Beach and moving along the coast. Near the end we were walking through a beautiful neighborhood and just happened to meet Manny, a local who’s a big fan of my dad and met him while he was in Sydney for the BAD tour. It was a serendipitous meeting and heartwarming to hear his stories and see his photos," Prince continued.
He also shared how much he appreciated seeing the wildlife in Australia, where he visited the zoo. "I love animals and the wildlife in Australia is so unique and can really only be found on that continent. We had to make a stop at the zoo," he wrote. "There’s so many more pics I could share but the most memorable to me were the wombat and platypus."
Prince shared that he has been with his girlfriend for almost a decade. "Molly and I are celebrating 8 years this month and I couldn’t ask for a better partner," he declared, before sharing a sweet message of gratitude following the special trip.
"I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and love. I grew up traveling the world because of my father and even though he’s not here physically I’m still fortunate enough to see the world and have the experiences I do because of him," he wrote, posting a photo of the late singer holding Prince in his arms.
"I’m extremely humbled and grateful. I just hope I can share these blessings with the rest of the world," Prince concluded.
