Inside Tori Kelly And André Murillo's Love Story

The soon-to-be parents have a love story that dates back almost a decade. Kelly and Murillo reportedly began dating in 2016, and later that year, in September, they confirmed their engagement.
Two years later, the lovebirds walked down the aisle in a private ceremony. The "Paper Hearts" singer, who donned a custom pale ivory bridal gown by Galia Lahav for her big day, gushed about her nuptials, per People Magazine.
"To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known & not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known & truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God," she wrote, referencing a quote from theologian Tim Keller.
Kelly and Murillo often keep a low profile, rarely posting about their romance.

The pregnancy news comes nearly two years after Kelly was hospitalized for life-threatening blood clots. In July 2023, the "American Idol" alum collapsed during a Sunday dinner outing with friends in downtown Los Angeles.
Witnesses revealed that the singer complained about feeling uneasy, and within minutes, her heartbeat reportedly quickened, causing her to faint and be "out for a while."
Luckily, a car was standing by and rushed Kelly to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, where doctors discovered clots in her lungs and legs. There were also concerns about possible clots around her heart.

The athlete also uploaded a video featuring Kelly's verse from her collaboration with singer Justin Bieber on the 2021 track, "Where Do I Fit In."
