John reflected further on her legacy and shared that he is taking some time for his family after her passing. “Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered. I will be taking some time to be there for my children who have lost their mother, so forgive me in advance if you don’t hear from us for a while,” he wrote. “But please know that I will feel your outpouring of love in the weeks and months ahead as we heal.”

Kelly and John share two children together, 20-year-old Ella and 9-year-old Benjamin. Their oldest child, Jett, passed away at age 16 while on vacation in the Bahamas with his family in 2009.

In her final Instagram post, Kelly posted a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute to John, writing “Happy Father’s Day to the best one I know, we love you,” alongside some sweet pictures of the family, including a sweet photo of John with Jett.
