Tom Mann Says He's 'Completely Broken'
On Monday, June 20, Mann took to Instagram to mourn the passing of his fiancée, with whom he also shares a 7-month-old son, Bowie. They were to marry in 2020, but Covid pushed the wedding back multiple times, and they became parents to Bowie in October 2021.
Mann started off by writing, "I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani - my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life - passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June."
The singer went on to reveal that she died on what was supposed to be their wedding day, writing, "On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak. I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the altar; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle."
Mann also promised to wear his wedding ring, as a sign of his unconditional love for Danielle. As a father, he also spoke about their boy and how he would do his utmost to give Bowie a good life.

I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud."
