Jon Hill, ex-husband of Jaclyn Hill, has died at the age of 33
On Thursday, ex-wife Jaclyn Hill revealed her former husband, Jon Hill, had passed away.
Makeup artist turned internet sensation because her family “wanted her to share the news”
“I was asked by Jon’s family to post this next slide …” she posted via Instagram Stories . “It is with profound remorse and sorrow that we must report that our beloved Andrew Jonathan Hill passed away on August 10, 2022.
“We are all devastated by the sudden tragedy. The Hill family request privacy during this overtly difficult time. VR, Hill Family.”
The cause of the drummer’s untimely demise is still a mystery.
The 32-year-old entrepreneur and her husband Jon founded Jaclyn Hill Cosmetics in 2009.
It was announced in 2018 that the couple would be divorcing; Jaclyn claimed they had difficulty communicating as a married couple but that they could “always make good friends.”
Before disclosing in 2019 that his drug addiction was the reason he and Jaclyn had broken up, Jon had been upfront about his struggles with addiction in the past.
“During our third year of marriage, it got to a point where I was having seizures because I was on so much stuff,” he informed. “I started breaking out in hives. So it became noticeable that something was wrong.”
After Jon became sober, Jaclyn “decided she did not want to be” with him anymore, he said.
“That was a huge shock to me,” he told. “We were married for nine years. For some reason, I was thinking about how amazing it would be to enjoy Christmas with her while being clean. She often said, ‘You don’t love me because you never want to do things with me.’ But it was because I kept having to hide [my addiction] from her all the time.”
“So coming home to see all my stuff gone and not knowing who she’s with, I was just devastated,” he continued. “Within two months, I was back on drugs.”
During the conversation, Jon stated that he had not used drugs in over a year.
In a question and answer session on Instagram last month, Jaclyn said,“has not been doing well for a very long time. He hasn’t had a phone in months & no one has contact with him.”
