Hamilton also said she doesn’t know what will be next for her and their son. “I’m no stranger to loss, but this loss brings something beyond pain,” she wrote. “I’m now missing a major part of myself and that void seems to grow more and more every second. I can’t bring myself to figure out Davin’s and my next step, because there shouldn’t be a need for one.”

According to Today, the designer from Memphis, Tennessee, frequently featured Marcus on her social media platform, highlighting their Black love.
