Paris Jackson laughs off engagement speculation

Michael Jackson's daughter Paris has brushed off reports suggesting she is set to wed her rocker boyfriend.

The 18-year-old and Michael Snoddy hit headlines on Monday (22Aug16) amid wedding bell rumours, but she has made it clear the claims were unfounded in a series of Twitter posts, poking fun at the constant speculation about her private life.

"So many marriage and pregnancy rumors just in the past 3 years," she wrote late on Monday. "What's next, me running for president? My boyfriend and I become super villains and try to take over the world? Come on now."

The outspoken teen returned to social media early on Tuesday (23Aug16) to further laugh off the reports.

"I think if I were engaged I would be the first to know," Paris added, joking, "How am I just now finding out about this?"

The youngster, who lost her pop icon father in 2009, hasn't been shy about her blossoming relationship with Snoddy, sharing a sweet photo of the couple online last week (ends19Aug16).

The picture featured Snoddy planting a kiss on Paris' cheek at a photo shoot in New York City. In the accompanying caption, she wrote, "I've been his groupie for a while now, time to switch rolls."

He shared the same image on his Instagram page, and made it known the feeling is mutual.

"So so proud of this girl!" he exclaimed. "Of all the times she tags along to all my shows supporting me, its (sic) cool to kick back and watch her do her magic for a change! I'm so in awe with how incredibly talented you are baby!"
