It is with great sadness that we report the passing of Married at First Sight star, Jephte Pierre, who lost his courageous battle with cancer on Tuesday. He was 37 years old.
Jephte, who appeared on Season 7 of the show, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer just months after filming wrapped. Despite undergoing extensive treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, the cancer had spread to his brain and lungs.
Jephte’s passing has sent shockwaves through the Married at First Sight community, with fans and fellow contestants taking to social media to pay tribute to his memory.
“I’m heartbroken to hear about Jephte’s passing,” wrote his fellow contestant and friend, Shawniece Jackson. “He was an incredible person, with a heart of gold and a spirit that inspired us all. I’ll miss him every day.”
Jephte’s wife, Shawniece, whom he met and married on the show, was by his side until the very end. The couple’s love story was one of the most memorable in the show’s history, and their bond only grew stronger as they faced Jephte’s illness together.
“Jephte was my everything,” Shawniece said in a statement. “He was my rock, my partner, and my best friend. I’m so grateful for the time we had together, and I’ll carry his memory with me always.”
Jephte’s passing has also sparked a wider conversation about the importance of cancer research and awareness. Fans and fellow contestants are encouraging everyone to donate to cancer research organizations in Jephte’s name.
“Jephte’s passing is a reminder that cancer can affect anyone, at any time,” wrote one fan. “Let’s honor his memory by supporting cancer research and awareness. We can make a difference, one donation at a time.”
As the news of Jephte’s passing continues to sink in, one thing is clear: he will be deeply missed by the Married at First Sight community, and his memory will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
Rest in peace, Jephte. Your love, light, and legacy will never be forgotten.
