Jake Hall’s ex Misse Beqiri has given her first interview since the devastating loss of the former The Only Way Is Essex star, as she revealed how her daughter River is coping
Jake Hall’s ex Misse Beqiri says her daughter River is having therapy following his death.
Misse, who dated the Only Way Is Essex star in the past and shares daughter River, eight, with him, has opened up about the tragic death of Jake. The reality star died at the age of 35 after crashing through a glass door at his rental apartment in Spain.
Following Jake’s death, Misse had the devastating task of telling her daughter that she wouldn’t be seeing her dad again.
“It was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. I know I keep saying this, but it didn’t feel like it was real for me to have to tell my child that her dad had passed. She was really upset, of course,” she said.
“We’re trying to keep her in her routine, but when I took her back to school, she said: ‘Do people know I don’t have a dad now?’ It’s so much for her little brain to process. She’s having therapy. She’s got her grandparents and all the rest of Jake’s family and friends, as well as my family.” Misse also says River has the support of her brother in Denmark too.
In a heartbreaking twist of fate, Misse was actually in Mallorca when she got the news about Jake and rushed home to be with her family. She insists she knows no more about what happened that night than the police report says.
“What was most bizarre about it was that I was also in Spain when it happened. I have never lost my passport in my life. I was flying back from working in Ibiza, and I got to the airport, and my passport was gone,” she told The Sun.
“To get an emergency one, you have to go to Mallorca. So I was in Mallorca the day he died, and I didn’t realise. I got the call while I was there sorting it out, and I flew straight home in a blur. I don’t know any more about what happened that night. I know as much as everyone else knows. All we know is what we know from the police report – that it was a terrible accident.
Jake was laid to rest earlier this month at a funeral and unconventional wake. In attendance was James Argent and David Beckham’s mum and sister, Sandra and Joanne Beckham, as well as Misse and Jake’s other ex Chloe Lewis.
Defending the decision for them to have the unconventional wake, on behalf of Jake’s family, his brother Sonny said: “We wanted to give Jake a send-off that matched who he was – not a quiet room, not a conventional goodbye.
“He lived out loud. He built things. He made people feel something. Last night was our way of saying: we saw you. We’re proud of you. And we’re not done yet. The art, the foundation, everything we’re building in his name – that’s the mission continuing.”
