Reality television personality Chloe Lewis has shared a heartfelt tribute following the death of her former partner, Jake Hall, who passed away in Spain earlier this month.
Getty ImagesLewis and Hall, both 35, first met as teenagers and later gained public recognition through their appearances on the popular reality series *The Only Way Is Essex* in 2015. Hall was discovered deceased on May 6th at a villa in Santa Margarita, Mallorca, with reports indicating head injuries.
In a touching Instagram post, Lewis memorialized her ex-boyfriend, stating he was “such a massive and special part of my life.” She reflected on their relationship, noting that loving him “taught me so much about life and myself.” The tribute included a video montage of past photographs and clips of the couple, set to John Legend’s poignant song “Ordinary People.”
“My first love, my childhood sweetheart,” Lewis wrote. “A love that taught me so much about life and myself, and even more so now your presence is no longer here. You touched so many lives and meant well in everything you did.”
Getty ImagesHall, who had a background as a model and fashion designer, had recently transitioned to a career as an artist. He is survived by his eight-year-old daughter, River, whom he had with former *Real Housewives of Cheshire* cast member Missé Beqiri.
Lewis further elaborated on Hall’s dedication to fatherhood, writing that being a parent was “the most important thing” to him and commending his ability to make parenthood appear “so easy and effortless.” She also described the preceding weeks as feeling “very surreal.”
“You were such a massive and special part of my life, and I truly hoped that we would grow old, that I’d see you one day, happy and at peace with life,” Lewis expressed, concluding with a poignant apology: “I’m sorry I couldn’t have saved you.”
