Paris Fashion Week wasn’t just the place to be to see what’s on the sartorial horizon for next year. The recent event also gave the public a look at a rare Jacksons reunion, featuring a couple members of the famous family.
Janet Jackson and her niece, Paris Jackson, both attended the fashion festivities and the pair even posed for their first public pic in over a decade.
The 56-year-old “Rhythm Nation” singer shared the photo on Instagram, which showed her smiling broadly while she leaned in close to her 24-year-old niece.
“So good catching up w/ my beautiful niece,” the senior Jackson wrote, along with a trio of heart emoji.
In the comments that followed, the model and musician responded with a single black heart emoji of her own.
As for fans, they raved in the comments, with one writing, “Glad to see you two together again!!”
After all, it’s been a long time.

The last time the public got a peek at the relatives side by side was back in 2009, when the younger Jackson was just 11, and it was a sad occasion that brought them together.
In July of that year, they gathered with many other family members, for a memorial service held in honor of Paris Jackson’s father, King of Pop Michael Jackson.
