💔 90 Day Fiancé Star Kobe Blaise Mourns the Death of His Father: “Being His Son Is Something I’ll Forever Be Proud Of”

Kobe Blaise, known to millions of TLC viewers for his appearance on 90 Day Fiancé, is grieving an immeasurable loss. The Cameroonian reality star revealed that his father passed away just three days ago, sharing an emotional tribute that has touched fans worldwide.

“It’s hard to put into words the complexity of this loss,” Kobe began in his heartfelt statement. “In the silence of my grief, I’ve found myself reflecting on so many things.”

A Complicated Relationship, Transformed by Time

Kobe candidly admitted that in his younger years, he wasn’t always proud to be his father’s son. He resented the sacrifices his dad made and didn’t understand the quiet strength it took to carry the weight of a family. But, as life often does, perspective came with time.

“As I grew older, started a family of my own, and began walking in the very shoes he once wore, I finally began to see my dad in myself,” Kobe shared. “I now understand how deeply he loved us—not through words or praise, but through sacrifice, through presence, through choosing us over and over again, even when it cost him.”

A Cherished Final Visit

Exactly two years ago, Kobe and his wife, Emily, traveled to Cameroon with their children, Koban and Scarlett, along with his in-laws. That visit turned into one of the most treasured moments of Kobe’s life.

“Watching him smile at my kids, hold them, laugh with them—that moment was a gift,” Kobe recalled. “It was the first time my dad saw me as both a husband and a father. I’m so grateful he got to feel the legacy of his love before he left this world.”

A Father’s Lasting Wisdom

Kobe also shared one of his father’s most powerful lessons: “Never forget where you come from. You are African, and that is your strength.” These words, he said, will echo in him for the rest of his life.

“I’m heartbroken, but I’m also filled with gratitude,” Kobe wrote. “Being his son is something I’ll forever be proud of. He lives on in me, in my children, in everything good I try to pass forward.”

A Message to Others

In closing, Kobe urged his followers not to take their loved ones for granted.

“Please, don’t wait. Call them, visit them, appreciate them now because life is too short and tomorrow is not promised,” he advised. “There is no perfect family—we all disagree sometimes—but in the end, let love lead.”

Kobe’s fans and fellow 90 Day Fiancé cast members have flooded social media with messages of support during this difficult time.
