Jackson provoked immediate backlash on July 5 when he criticized Palmer for wearing a sheer thong dress to an Usher concert on Twitter. Shortly after, he deleted his Instagram account. He restored it a day later, per People, but appeared to delete all of his pictures of Palmer.
On Aug. 16, a source told People that Jackson had "moved on" from their relationship. The insider also added that, at the time, the pair were just trying to focus on co-parenting. "You don't have to be in the same household to be good parents," they said, also claiming that Jackson isn't interested in drama and wants to focus on his acting career.
Two weeks later, though, Palmer and Jacksons sent fans into a frenzy again when the pair celebrated the former's birthday together on Instagram Live. At one point during the Live, Palmer asked Jackson to tell fans what he said about Virgos (her zodiac sign), to which he responded, "Virgos don't believe the hype, they are one of the biggest spokesperson for themselves." Palmer then replied, "Don't believe the hype — but you are really into the Virgos though, so what are you talking about," to which Jackson said his mom, brother, and other family members are also Virgos. He also added hesitantly, "My partner in crime is a Virgo," gesturing to Palmer, which led some fans to believe the two are still together.
