One of the most shocking revelations in Michael Jackon's daughter Paris Jackson's newest series Unfiltered: Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn is that Jackson lived in a van with her new boyfriend, Gabriel Glenn shortly after meeting him.
In the new series, which chronicles Jackson, 22, and Glenn's, 23, relationship and their musical project, The Soundflowers, Jackson reveals how passionately she felt about Glenn so shortly after meeting him—enough to go live in his van. Glenn said that his band had played at the famed Rainbow Bar and Grill in Los Angeles in 2017, which was around the time that he met Jackson. Jackson said the pair's connection was instantaneous. "We immediately just vibed, spent three days straight together. Yeah, within a week I was living in his van," she said in the pilot.

Famed media consultant Elliot Mintz likened the couple to another famed musical pair in the series' premiere. "The two of them have found themselves in what I know to be a synergistic relationship. John [Lennon] and Yoko [Ono] had a synergistic relationship. There was no 'John and his wife Yoko Ono.' It was 'John and Yoko,'" he said in the series.
The pair appear to be big Beatles fans themselves. In an April Instagram post by Glenn of Jackson, a John Lennon poster can be seen in the background. Jackson has also shared photos of Lennon and Ono on her Instagram, as well as a photo of herself, photoshopped to be next to Lennon.
After the two began dating, they started collaborating on music together under the name The Soundflowers. On June 23, they released their self-titled EP of wistful folk songs where the two trade off vocals over somber, acoustic ballads. The duo released a cinematic music video for their song "Your Look (Glorious)" on Tuesday.
According to the series' premiere, Glenn played in bands before teaming up with Jackson for The Soundflowers. One of the bands showcased in the series was called Trash Dogs. His sister said that they played, "mostly just songs about girls—pretty much all of them were about girls." Glenn also has tagged Trash Dogs in his Instagram bio. It seems like the band is still active, but have not released any music.
Jackson has shared a number of photos of herself with Glenn on Instagram. In an October 2019 post, she tagged a photo with Glenn, writing, "you are the most beautiful symphony ever composed."
