Misse Beqiri Honors Ex Jake Hall After Tragic Death in Spain

When a former partner passes suddenly, the grief doesn’t follow a script—especially when children are caught in the middle. That’s the reality Misse Beqiri is navigating after the death of her ex, British reality star Jake Hall, who died at age 35 following a house party accident in Majorca, Spain.

On Saturday, May 9, the Ladies of London: The New Reign star, 39, shared an emotional Instagram tribute that cuts to the heart of what made Hall matter to the people who knew him. She didn’t shy away from the weight of the moment:“I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable.”But she also painted a vivid picture of the man she once loved—someone whose presence had gravity, whose creativity ran deep, whose love for their 8-year-old daughter, River, was almost frightening in its intensity.

Beqiri and Hall had a complicated relationship by the time of his death. They weren’t romantically involved anymore, but they remained tethered through River, whom they welcomed in November 2017. The couple got engaged in May 2018 but split shortly after. Still, in her tribute, Beqiri was clear:“Your love for her was so strong it almost scared me because I knew you would go to the ends of the earth for her.”That kind of devotion doesn’t disappear just because a romance does.

The circumstances of Hall’s death are still being investigated. According to reports, he was found in a villa following a house party, having sustained fatal head wounds—authorities believe he may have struck his head on a glass door. Police questioned four men and two women at the property, though no arrests were made at the time. An autopsy was scheduled. In the days before his death, Hall had posted something cryptic to Instagram:“Life is bollocks sometimes but I’m gonna try to remember the good things.”The message now reads differently—a whisper we can’t unhear.

Hall’s work on the British series The Only Way Is Essex, where he appeared from 2015 to 2016, introduced him to reality TV audiences. The show released a statement:“Jake was a part of the TOWIE family for a number of years and we send our very deepest sympathies to his family and friends following today’s very sad news.”

But perhaps the most telling measure of a person’s impact isn’t their credits or their public profile. It’s what gets said about them after they’re gone—and what Beqiri said about Hall speaks volumes. She promised River that she would“keep her safe, loved and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly.”In other words: his legacy isn’t over. It lives on in a child who will grow up knowing the weight and warmth of a father’s love, even in his absence.
