Misse Beqiri has paid tribute to the "deeply loved" reality TV star Jake Hall following his death at the age of 35.
The Albanian model, who shares eight-year-old daughter River with Hall, said she would keep their child "safe, loved, and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly".
Beqiri shared the message on Instagram alongside a carousel of photos of Hall with her and their daughter.
Hall, who was best known for appearing on The Only Way Is Essex, died in Majorca earlier this week.
In her tribute, Beqiri wrote: "I never thought I would ever have to write this, and the pain of even putting these words down feels unbearable.
"There was no way you were ever supposed to go. My heart is shattered, and so is our daughter's.
"You lit up every room you walked into – your smile, your charm, your energy that filled the air. The way you loved music, how deeply you felt every sound, your creativity, your mind, your spirit.
"You were so deeply loved by so many people, and seeing the love everyone has for you is both heartbreaking and beautiful all at once."
She added: "Your constant mission to stop me from taking naps still makes me smile."
Beqiri, who appeared on The Real Housewives of Cheshire, said she loved Hall from "the very first moment I saw you".
"Together we created the most beautiful girl, the one you loved more than anything in this world, beyond words," she wrote.
"She adored you – her favourite person, her daddy.
"You will be missed. I promise to keep River safe, loved, and wrapped in the kind of love you gave so effortlessly. You are at peace now."
Beqiri ended the post by saying she imagined Hall "laughing together" with her brother, who died in 2022.
"You left behind your mini version, our River, and for that we are forever grateful," she wrote. "You will always live on through her, and you will forever be with us."
Hall joined the cast of The Only Way Is Essex in 2015 and was previously in a relationship with his co-star Chloe Lewis. He later ran the menswear brand By Jake Hall.
Tributes have been shared by friends and former co-stars in recent days.
Former TOWIE cast member Vas J Morgan wrote on Instagram that Hall’s death was a "deeply difficult loss" and said he wished they had more time together.
Former Made In Chelsea star Akin Solanke also shared a photo with Hall and wrote: "If I never told you how much you inspired me, I hope you knew regardless."
Celebrity DJ Fat Tony also paid tribute, writing: "Devastating news we love you @jakehall such an awful loss to the world you beautiful man x."
