A newlywed, mum-of-four influencer has died from a suspected cardiac arrest aged just 35.
Instagram star Mila de Jesus passed away on Friday (January 12). She'd only tied the knot with her husband, George Kowszik, four months ago. She leaves behind four children from a previous relationship. She'd been dealing with psoriasis since July.
She posted in October: "It's been three months dealing with this situation, 80 percent of my body is affected. Juggling doctors, medications, ointments, and taking a deep breath." And in November, she celebrated six years since her weight loss surgery with two snaps side by side showing her remarkable transformation.
She wrote: "Thirteen years between one photo and another. Six years since a decision that changed my life in various aspects. On one side, the 22-year-old Mila, and on the other, the 35-year-old Mila. Look at how much we've changed, how we've grown, and what we've learned. Proud, girl, proud."
