US singer Kelis’ husband Mike Mora has passed away at the age of 37 after a battle with stage 4 stomach cancer.
Kelis’ management confirmed the news in a statement to ET.
“Sadly, it’s true that Mike Mora has passed away. We would ask all to respect Kelis and her family’s privacy as of right now. Thank you.”
Kelis and Mike got married in 2014 and have been living on a remote farm in LA since 2020.
The couple’s first child, a boy, was born in 2015, and their secondborn, a baby girl, was born in 2021.
Mora revealed publicly in September 2021 about his diagnosis. Taking to Instagram, he said he wanted to help those also experiencing a life-altering disease.
“I am posting this because life is full of the most unexpected situations. I never thought this could happen to me. At just 36, with 3 kiddos, and a wife that loves me.
“I want to be able to help those that might be experiencing something like this- a life altering disease full of questions and doubt- maybe, hopefully. By showing that it’s possible to make it through,” he wrote.
“You always see people post about how life is too short. How you should reach out to those you love no matter where life has taken you. It is the truth. Don’t take your time here, your time with friends, family, for granted. Sh..t can be over just like that!”
