Jake Hall’s former partner discloses heartbreaking method she explained his demise to daughter, 8

Missé Beqiri on Telling Daughter About Jake Hall

Missé Beqiri once shared her life with Jake Hall. Now she speaks of a moment no parent should face. Breaking the news to their child felt heavier than anything else. The words about his passing weighed on her like stone. A father gone. Her voice cracks when recalling it. That conversation left marks that nothing can erase.
Weeks back, Jake died in a rental home on Majorca—thirty-five, gone too soon. For her, mother to young River—now eight—the ache doesn’t fade. Time moves forward, yet sorrow holds tight. That kid ties together two worlds: one lit up by a spotlight and the other walking through grief without noise. Only once did she speak out loud about it all after everything fell apart.

At thirty-nine, carrying both Swedish and Albanian roots, she admitted confusion still clouds her thoughts. Reality faded when he left. What lingers feels unreal.

Missé Beqiri Recalls Devastating Call About Jake Hall

She told The Sun: “Right now, still, my mind wonders, can this be real?” Hearing from his relatives brought a moment where time froze; right after they spoke, words spilled out—” No, impossible”—before silence took over. Memory stops there. Nothing comes back. Belief refused to settle in. Questions piled up fast. Details stayed missing. His actions? A blur.

Never felt anything like it before. What came next hit hard.

Missé Beqiri Calls Daughter’s Conversation ‘The Worst’

The Real Housewives of Cheshire cast member found herself in Majorca the very day Jake passed—yet had no clue about the details surrounding his death.

Back at the start of the month, details emerged during an inquest—Jake’s remains had been sent back to the UK. Over at East Ham Mortuary, though, doctors couldn’t pin down how he died after examining him.

It wasn’t just hard. It hollowed her out. Talking about it later, she paused more than once. The memory is clearly still raw. A mother facing something no words could soften. That silence between sentences said much. Her hands moved nervously as she recalled the scene. Not dramatic. Just true.

Missé Beqiri on Helping Daughter Through Grief

The truth of saying those words still sits heavily. Telling her daughter felt unreal, like something that happens to others, never us. “Of course,” the girl cried, holding tight to my arm. Keeping routines steady matters now, even if everything feels off. Walking into school yesterday, she looked up, her voice small. Wondering whether her classmates could see the change written on her. A question so simple, yet carrying such weight. Little hearts notice what adults sometimes miss. “She’s doing therapy. She’s got her grandparents and other Jake’s family and friends, as well as my family, on her side. Her brother is also a great support since they are very close. He lives in Denmark, but their love is incredible.” Missé, who also shares a son, Julian, 11, with her Danish footballer ex-husband Anders Lindegaard, revealed how her children have been a support to her in “navigating the grief” as she had to be strong for them.

Missé Beqiri Praises Jake Hall as a Dad

Back when Jake was still alive, the model went through a different kind of heartbreak—her brother, Flamur ‘Alex’ Beqiri, was shot near his house in Battersea.

Two times inside six years. The dark hours drag on, never bringing real rest.
Conversations came easily, nearly always circling back to River—the thread tying us. Messages popped up like clockwork, sometimes voices stretching late into hours. What sits here now is empty air, thick with what’s missing. Quiet isn’t still. It shouts.

It hurts because she knows how deep his love was for River. A quiet moment passes when thinking about their bond. What stays with her is how much joy they brought each other. The sadness comes from knowing he’d never choose to go away from that. His happiness mattered most to her. Losing him feels wrong in a way only those who loved them both can understand.
“He will live on in her. She will always have his family. What I’d really love is if Jake were remembered as an incredible father, a person who was full of creativity, and really a lot of fun. When he’s in my mind, the image of him is that of dancing and laughing with his giant mouth.”
