The mother of reality star Jake Hall’s daughter has spoken of their “devastating loss” after the TV star died at the age of 35.
Hall, a former cast member on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), was found dead with head injuries at a holiday villa in Majorca, according to The Sun.
He had a daughter, River, eight, with 39-year-old model and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Misse Beqiri.
A statement shared by her talent agent said: “At this time, Misse’s focus is on supporting and protecting their child as they come to terms with this devastating loss.
“The family are asking for privacy, compassion and respect while they grieve privately.”
Hall joined TOWIE in 2015, and dated co-star Chloe Lewis before leaving the programme in 2024.
He also ran a menswear brand called By Jake Hall.
Tributes have been paid to the TV star, including from celebrity DJ Fat Tony, who said on Instagram: “Devastating news we love you @jakehall such an awful loss to the world you beautiful man x.”
The Only Way Is Essex also paid tribute in a statement, saying: “Jake was a part of the Towie family for a number of years and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today’s very sad news.”
