The 17-year-old star - who is the daughter of the late Michael Jackson - is said to be in love with her 18-year-old boyfriend despite having been advised by her family to take things slow.

A source shared: "The Jackson family actually really, really like Chester and they have done a thorough check on him and his family. They are not going to let just anyone steal the heart of their precious baby girl.

"Everyone around Paris is telling her to take it slow with Chester, but she has no interest in taking it any slower than it already is going.

"Chester is not only her boyfriend but also her best friend and the one person that she confides in with everything."

Paris is currently under the co-guardianship of her grandmother Katherine and her cousin Tito following the death of her father.

And in June 2013 the brunette beauty was sent to a treatment centre in Utah to deal with personal issues relating to the King of Pop's sudden death.

However, she now appears to be happier than ever with her new love.

The source told gossip site RadarOnline.com: "Chester is a really good influence on her and he keeps her healthy, sober and away from the Hollywood drama.

"He is a regular at the Jackson home and has totally won her over, as well as Katherine, Michael's sisters and her younger brother, Blanket.

"She says he is her first true love and it is just great to see her happy. This guy's intentions seem pure with her and he comes from wealth and a powerful family of his own, so he is not in it for any other reason than love."
