Irish influencer Niamh Cullen is opening up about life without her late husband, Jamie Gill, following his untimely death at age 33.
“Our home has never not been empty,” Cullet wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, November 29, over a black-and-white photo of her late husband holding a dog while pictured in their home.
“I cannot even find the words to explain my unwavering support and love from my friends and family,” she continued.
In previous Instagram Stories, Cullen shared tributes to her husband from those who knew him.
“I feel so lucky to have known Jamie, and so grateful to Niamh for bringing him into our lives as he has left such a mark on it,” one family friend wrote. “The care Niamh gave Jamie this year was one of the deepest displays of true love I’ve ever seen, and while I’ve always been so proud to call Niamh my friend, this year has unlocked a new level of unconditional love and respect for her.”
Hours earlier, Cullen announced her husband’s death after a year’s long battle with cancer.
“The unimaginable has happened. Our worst nightmare. My beautiful husband has been taken from us,” she wrote via Instagram. “The light of my life. I was the luckiest to be loved and adored by you Jamie. I love you endlessly, not just now, but eternally.”
Alongside her social media tribute, the “Unveiled” podcaster shared footage of Gill twirling her around while standing atop an ottoman.
“This video for me shows our unconditional love, fun and laughter ❤️🩹,” Cullen concluded. “I’m broken.”
The pair had just said “I do” one year prior, in November 2024, days before Gill was diagnosed with cancer.
“Last weekend marked one year of our marriage. Nothing could have prepared us for the journey that was ahead,” Cullen wrote via Instagram in celebration of the pair’s one-year wedding anniversary. “One day 3 of our wedding, Jamie became seriously unwell. What was meant to be a minimoon in Rome turned into 10 days in the hospital.”
After returning to their home country of Ireland, doctors discovered Gill was suffering from a malignant tumor.
“Just two weeks before Christmas, Jamie underwent major surgery, where doctors discovered a cancerous tumor,” she explained at the time. “Our world shattered in an instant, but we stayed strong. Jamie bravely faced 10 rounds of chemotherapy. There were ups and downs along the way, but nothing could have prepared us for what followed after his 10th session.”
TikTok star Kaelin Bradshaw died on Monday, October 27. She was 29. Bradshaw’s family confirmed on Wednesday, October 29, that she died following a battle with stage 4 Cholangiocarcinoma.

After 10 rounds of chemotherapy, Gill developed pneumonia and sepsis, a dangerous and often fatal infection. It was then that the pair were informed his cancer had returned.
“My world feels broken, my blood still runs cold, but I know this: My husband is a fighter,” Cullen wrote in an update on November 14, less than two weeks before her husband’s death. “We will not give up.”
She continued, “I don’t think I’ll ever be able to articulate Jamie’s strength throughout this entire journey. He never ceases to amaze me with his incredible positive outlook and mindset, even in the darkest moments. It’s been unimaginably tough seeing the person you love suffer and to feel so helpless. I get these waves of guilt daily because all I want to do is just swap places or take it away, but I can’t.”
