The up-and-coming YouTuber’s family shared the heartbreaking news in an Instagram post just hours ago, revealing that Thea and her unborn son had both died. The cause of death was not immediately clear.
Writing about the passing in a statement within the IG post, the family and boyfriend Global Boga wrote (below):
“To all Nicole’s friends and supporters it is with great sadness that I have to inform you that Nicole and her son she and Boga named Reign sadly passed away on Saturday morning. As a family we ask that you give us privacy because our hearts are truly broken and we are struggling to cope with what has happened.”
So, so sad.
The family also noted that Nicole had “prescheduled a few YouTube videos” in the days ahead of her death, and Boga had made the decision to allow them to be aired after her passing. The most recent video featured on her channel as of Sunday featured the pregnant young star doing a maternity photoshoot in a bath full of milk.
Up and coming in her channel at the time of her passing, Thea had nearly 80,000 subscribers on her page as of Sunday afternoon.
Our hearts go out to Thea’s family, friends, and loved ones as they cope with this sudden and unimaginable loss.
Rest in peace…
