Brave content creator Tanner Martin has said goodbye to his followers on social media just days after becoming a dad, saying he was excited to see what new adventures the afterlife had in store for him

The arrival of a first baby should be one of the happiest times in a couple’s life. But when Tanner Martin and Shay Wright welcomed their daughter AmyLou the moment was surely bittersweet, for the influencer was nearing the end of his five year journey with colorectal cancer.

Tanner, 30, died just over a month after the arrival of his bundle of joy and in an unusual step, he delivered the news of his passing himself in a pre-recorded video. Smiling at the camera in the footage posted by wife Shay, the content creator said: “Hey, it’s me, Tanner. If you’re watching this, I am dead.”

With a laugh to soften the news, Tanner bravely added: “I had a heck of a life. I decided to make this video announcing my death because I saw someone did that, like, a year or so ago, and I think it’s a good opportunity to get all your thoughts out.

Signs of Tanner’s condition were evident in the video, with his voice weak and raspy. But his words were filled with positivity, with the influencer saying: “You guys, life was awesome. I really enjoyed it while I was here.

“Hopefully, I believe there’s something after this,” he continued. “I’m excited to meet those people, and hopefully we’re hanging out now and making fun of all you nerds. There’s just a lot of people that for the afterlife, I’m excited to see them, and excited to see them not in pain and just happy.”

Knowing that the end was approaching, Tanner spent his final days soldiering through treat

ment and spending precious moments with his newborn.

On May 11, he told his Instagram followers: “Just thought I’d hop on here and give you guys a quick update,” he began in the clip.

“The chemo makes me really hoarse, so I sound like a different me. But I’m doing okay, just tired. Guess what’s happening. Guess who arrives in six days,” he said, grabbing two little baby slippers alluding to the birth of his daughter.

“Anyway, that’s what I wanted to share. I stop my chemo for a week tomorrow because it’s three weeks on, one week off. Very excited for that… anyways, that’s my update. Love you.”

Tanner was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer after he began experiencing stomach aches in 2020 and had trouble going to the bathroom. The disease had already spread to his liver by the time it was discovered and after battling sepsis for eight months in 2023, it spread to his lungs and he was given between two and five years to live.

Announcing Shay’s pregnancy in November 2024, the couple acknowledged concerns about Tanner’s imminent passing.

AmyLou arrived as a result of IVF on May 15 and a video showed the influencer meeting his daughter, whispering: “Sweetheart, I’ve been so excited to meet you. I love you so much… I’ve been waiting for this for so long.”

In his posthumous video, he thanked fans for their support and “helping to make the last years of my life here on earth like fun and enjoyable and helping me be comfortable”. Movingly, Tanner added that he had come to terms with his death.

Dolce &amp, Gabbana fragrance shoppers are calling “perfect for everyday” at 50% off, but only for a limited time.

Finding a distinctive fragrance that is both long-lasting and impactful is a challenge. However, Dolce & Gabbana’s L’Imperatrice Eau de Toilette Spray makes consumers believe they have found the ultimate daily fragrance.

And we’ve discovered a 50% off store where you can purchase it. This one of their best deals, which knocked down the EDT from £66 to £33, is one that LookFantastic always has.

This perfume will be perfect for you if you enjoy fresh scents like citrus. This summer-in-a-bottle fragrance strikes the perfect balance between fruity and floral notes, with notes of kiwi, watermelon, red currant, and kiwi giving it a sharp, summery twist.

Sandalwood, soft musk, and grapefruit are the next three notes added to these notes, giving the scent a warmer, muskier note. The outcome ? A feminine and assured scent that works just as well on a daily basis, especially in the summer.

This Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader-approved setting spray will maintain your makeup throughout this heatwave.

Customers have been raving about this purchase and praising the “fresh and clean” scent. This fragrance has quickly grown to be one of my favorites, according to a happy customer. You’re greeted with a lively burst of juicy kiwi, crisp rhubarb, and watery watermelon right away. It’s fresh, playful, and instantly upbeat.

While a second added, “Watermelon is my favorite perfume for everyday wear and to layer up with other people,”

However, some customers claimed its lasting power wasn’t the best, which was what caused the most negative feedback. It has a pleasant scent and a hint of watermelon, according to one customer. Although it’s not as long as an eau de parfum, the scent is pleasant for the summer. The duration is not quite as long as this Eau De Toilette fragrance, which is an Eau De Parfum, as previously mentioned.

The Cinnabar Eau De Parfum from Estée Lauder is currently reduced on Amazon as part of a limited time offer if you’re looking for more fragrance offers. It has received praise from customers as being “delectably oriental and enchanting.”

Following surgery, Jessica J posted a positive update. Jessica recently revealed that she had “early breast cancer” and that she would be having surgery, but in a recent post, she revealed that all of her “cancer is gone” as she sat down and recuperated from the operation.

She stated in her Instagram Stories, “Cancer has vanished.” My nipple is still present. Without feeling guilty, I can watch Love Island. More than ever, I’m settling in and talking to friends because my mother lives in our (My) Sky, which is also known as Sky.

Chanan making me feel secure and the massages are 10/10 for connecting with other people who are going through the same time and supporting each other. Various other things in abundance.

She then went on to share her sincere thoughts about her recent surgery and diagnosis, revealing that she “does not like sitting down.”

Cons (Some of these are very real, and some are silly): I’m not able to be the person I’m used to being or the person I’m used to being. Never do I sit down. She continued, “lol.

The mentality behind this is [foggy face emoji] “The fear of not knowing if the cancer is completely gone.” The discomfort and pain are normal but annoying when I try to fall asleep. Snoeezing is a myth because it hurts. Not urinating after taking the painkillers and an anaesthetic. I simply want to poooooo.

In her next Instagram posts, Jessie continued to discuss being “backed up” and wrote, “I’ve only been on paracetamol and ibuprofen because my blood pressure is too low for anything higher, and even they have caused me to be backed up like an old chimney.”

Your girl has 20% leg and 80% [poo emoji], according to the statement “I have had laxatives, a good fresh diet, prunes, juices, and laxatives.” Please make any recommendations.

Jessie told the 80, 000 audience at the Summertime Ball that this would be her final performance before her surgery a few weekends ago when she gave a speech at the event. She stated, “This is my final show before I go to breast cancer.” You have no idea, so it’s so special to me. Being honest and expressing my feelings makes me feel so special to be from the UK.

This is my final appearance before going to bed, and all the other things make me feel so special. I’m so grateful for my son, my career, and this life. My parents and my spouse. My crew, my band, and family.

She continued, “We are so lucky, we have so much to live for, so much joy, so much to do,” adding: “We are so lucky.”

In a video that was shared with online fans, Jessie made the announcement about her diagnosis. I was diagnosed with early breast cancer, she said. I’m holding on to the word “early” because cancer stinks in any way.
