The world has watched Paris Jackson — who was only 11 when her famous father, Michael Jackson, passed away — grow up, and now she is officially an adult. Jackson rang in her 18th birthday with her new boyfriend, Michael Snoddy, who posted this photo to Instagram with the super-sweet caption: “Happy birthday to one of the most incredible women I’ve ever met! So happy we get to celebrate YOUR DAY together! Cheers to many more baby!”
He’s head over heels
It’s clear from this snap a friend uploaded of the couple that Snoddy is crazy about Jackson.

He’s a drummer
Snoddy is the drummer for rock band Street Drum Corps, “a world renowned drum and percussion ensemble.”
He plays guitar, too
This multi-talented 26-year-old plays multiple instruments, including drums, piano and guitar.
He’s tight with his grandparents
Word on the street says Snoddy is part of a close-knit fam, and he consults them about everything.
His sis is one of his besties
Snoddy and his sis are obviously really close, as evidenced by their synchronized nose-picking.
He likes to sail
For his birthday earlier this year, Snoddy spent the day as “Captain” sailing around Catalina Island.

He has some, ahem, prominent tats
Snoddy has a ton of tattoos, including his last name and a “Cadillac thrills” emblem on his loooower abdomen.
He’s the subject of some controversy
Jackson’s family reportedly isn’t a fan of Snoddy, in part due to his Confederate flag tattoo.
