A weight loss influencer who had recently got married has sadly died aged 35, leaving behind her husband and four children.
Brazilian-born influencer Mila De Jesus candidly shared her battle with psoriasis, a challenging skin condition causing itchy, scaly patches, months before her passing.
In an October Instagram post addressed to her nearly 60,000 followers, she revealed: "It’s been three months dealing with this situation, 80% of my body is affected. Juggling doctors, medications, ointments, and taking a deep breath."
De Jesus had previously undergone a significant weight loss surgery six years ago, commemorating the life-changing decision in a poignant November Instagram post where she shared side-by-side pictures of herself before and after the procedure.
"Six years since a decision that changed my life in various aspects," she captioned the post.
Sadly, De Jesus passed away due to a suspected cardiac arrest on Friday, just four months after exchanging vows with her husband, George Kowszik, as reported by the New York Post.
De Jesus is survived by four children from a previous marriage, leaving her fans and followers mourning the untimely loss of a beloved figure.
On her Instagram page, a tribute was paid to the influence that read: "I, Anna Clara, am posting this condolence note. We are very sad to hear of the passing of our beautiful mother. We appreciate all the prayers and condolences. Continue to pray for us Thank you."
The influencer's unexpected passing has left her followers, friends, and family devastated.
Heartfelt messages poured in from her dedicated fanbase, with one follower expressing: "I got extremely sad today. I haven't stopped thinking about all of you since then. May God comfort you all."
A second added: "I can't believe it My condolences to you and your brothers, the whole family. Can't believe we won't see her around here anymore. God give strength to the whole family, she will be missed dearly."
A third said: "Your departure is so sad, girl. My Sincere Condolences to all the family at this very delicate time, and may God comfort us all!"
A fourth added: "Your mother was a being of very light and very loved. May you feel the love of all followers, friends and acquaintances who love her and whose lives have been touched by her joy and words of encouragement."
Among those paying tribute to Mila was her son Pedro Marçal, who penned a heartfelt message: "Rest, mom. I love you so much, and no one will ever love me like you. God bless you."
Eduarda Gaia, a close friend and businesswoman, shared her grief, stating: "I will remember our last conversation on the phone forever! I love you so much, friend."
De Jesus, renowned for her makeup tutorials, had amassed over 100,000 followers on YouTube, leaving a lasting impact on her community.
Just a week before her passing, she had uploaded a picture to Instagram where she was sitting in the snow looking content on a sled - signifying how sudden her passing was.
