Jock Zonfrillo’s widow Lauren Fried has revealed that their daughter Isla has been sleeping with her late father’s clothes in a heartbreaking post.
“Little Isla has started sleeping with Papa’s clothes, keeps him close. lz,” she captioned the photo of their daughter, two and a half snuggled up with Jock’s jumper.
Earlier this week, Fried opened up about how she’s helping their children deal with the death of their father.
Zonfrillo died suddenly on April 30 and he is survived by his wife and children Alfie, 5, and Isla, 2, as well as two older daughters, Ava and Sophia, from his first two marriages.
Fried has been open on social media about her struggle with Zonfrillo’s shock passing and took to the platform to share that she’s using books to help Alfie and Isla understand their dad’s death.
“Books have been a bridge to help me explain to our little ones what has happened, what they are feeling, and that love is always around them,” She wrote on Instagram below photos of books titled The Invisible String, The Goodbye Book and Beginnings and Endings with Lifetimes in Between.
“These are the top three (of many purchases) that the kids have connected with. lz,” she concluded the post.
Lauren Fried speaks out following Jock Zonfrillo’s death
After a lengthy break, Fried took to Zonfrillo’s account addressing his passing.
In the most recent, she posted a beautiful selection of photos of her and the couple’s children at the beach.
“Time together. Being close, letting them wander. lz,” she captioned the series of images.
A month after the MasterChef host’s death, Fried shared an Instagram video thanking fans for their support.
“It’s been a month now since we lost Jock and I put a line in the sand thinking that at the one-month mark, I would turn some sort of a corner, obviously that hasn’t happened,” Lauren said in the clip.
“There’s no time that I could allocate to say thank you to everyone. I just am overwhelmed by the messages that came in from people all over the world who knew him or didn’t know him.
“I wish he knew how loved he was and he knew the impact that he had on so many people.”
