Kylie Jenner vows to perpetuate the legacy of Jesus Guerrero, her cherished longtime friend and hairstylist. Six months following his untimely demise at the tender age of 34, the Kardashian clan's glamorous star marked what would have been his 35th birthday with a poignant tribute on social media, her heart heavy with emotion. "Not a single day passes without our thoughts drifting to you, @jesushair," Kylie penned on her Instagram Stories on August 23, accompanied by an image of a cake adorned with five flickering candles. "Happy heavenly birthday; you are eternally cherished and deeply missed."
In the immediate aftermath of the tragic news in February, Kylie shared a heart-wrenching message to pay homage to the late hairstylist, whose clientele also included luminaries such as Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, and Katy Perry, while reflecting on the profound impact their friendship had on her life. "Jesus was more than merely my friend; he was a beacon in my life, a font of laughter, solace, love, and unwavering support," she penned on Instagram on February 25, accompanied by an array of photos and videos chronicling their years-long bond. "I cannot fathom how I would have navigated the past nearly decade without his constant presence by my side. He had a magical way of transforming even the darkest days into something lighter."
The 28-year-old mother of two, who shares Stormi, aged 7, and Aire, aged 3, with her ex-partner Travis Scott, also addressed a poignant segment of her note directly to her beloved friend. "Thank you, Jesus, for always being my rock, for lifting my spirits, for being my cherished friend," she continued. "The anguish of losing you is insurmountable, and I am at a loss as to how to proceed without you by my side. Yet, I understand that profound grief stems only from immense love, and my love for you knew no bounds."
Two months hence, Kylie, who generously stepped forward to cover the funeral expenses for Jesus' family, opened up about the immense challenge she faced in grappling with her grief. Alongside a video of Jesus from October 2024, Kylie penned on her Instagram Stories, "I stumbled upon this video from that fateful day. I had hoped to get through today without shedding tears, but the ache of your absence struck me anew."
"Grief shows no signs of easing," she continued in the April 26 post. "It only intensifies the loneliness. I miss you beyond measure. Why aren't you here with us? Each first without you brings a fresh wave of pain."
