KylieJenner is still processing Jesus Guerrero‘s death.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder opened up about the difficult time she’s been having in grieving her longtime hairstylist—who also worked with Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry—two months after his sudden passing at the age of 34.
Kylie posted a video of Jesus from October 2024 onto her Instagram Stories April 26, writing, “Found this video from that day. I thought I could get through today without crying, but the ache of missing you hit all over again.”
“Grief isn’t getting easier,” the 27-year-old added. “It’s just getting lonelier.”
Kylie—who quietly stepped in to cover Jesus’ funeral expenses for his family—went on to express her sorrow over not having him in her life anymore.
“I miss you so much,” she wrote. “Why aren’t you here. Every first without you hurts sm.”
This wasn’t the first time that Kylie has looked back at her memories with her friend and collaborator—whose cause of death is still unknown—in the wake of his untimely death.
The Khy founder shared behind-the-scenes content from a recent campaign for her brand’s Poster Girl collaboration, which was one of her final times working with Jesus.
“It was hard for me to let go of these photos because it was one of the last few times @jesushair touched my hair,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories in March. “We had such a fun work day and then went out to dinner after as we do. Ughh I miss u sm my angel.”
The month prior, Kylie had penned a lengthy tribute to her late friend in the days following his death.
“Jesus was more than my friend – he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support,” she captioned a Feb. 25 Instagram post containing photos and videos of them together over the years. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.”
“Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend,” Kylie continued. “The pain of losing you is just unbearable and i don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. and I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.”
The reality star concluded by sharing how she intended to keep his memory alive by remembering all of the positive things he offered.
“Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever,” Kylie wrote. “I’ll cherish all our moments together. every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again. I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I’m going to miss you so much. more than any words can say. 222 my angel.”
