Teen Mom star Lane Fernandez has died at the age of 28 — just three weeks after the birth of his youngest son.
The tragic news was confirmed by his wife Kylee Rose Fernandez in a Facebook post on Monday.
“I’m so lost without you babe,” she captioned a picture of the new dad proudly cradling baby Nolyn. “I love you to the moon and back and I know you’re watching out for us.”
“I will forever miss you. It’s always been you. Nolyn, Emerson, and I love you so much and you were an amazing father, dog dad, and husband. You’ll forever be my rock, and my best friend. I miss you more than anything baby.”
The cause of death has not yet been revealed.
Lane and his ex-girlfriend Malorie Beaver appeared on season 2 and 3 of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, between 2020 and 2021.
While they had their ups and downs, his ex posted a touching tribute to her Instagram Stories on Tuesday, sharing a joyous clip of Lane with the daughter they share, Emerson.
“This is how I want everyone to remember him,” she wrote. “A happy father & a guy who tried his hardest to overcome all the demons he faced.”
“He deserved so much more life.”
Malorie’s sister Rachel also posted condolences, alongside a pic of Lane swimming with her niece.
“I can’t even begin to express the pain I feel right now,” she wrote. “Gone too soon … Rest easy Lane.”
Among Lane’s final Facebook posts was one expressing excitement ahead of baby Nolyn’s May 22 arrival — and another apparently frustrated at his access to Emerson.
“Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children & start asking mothers why he had to fight at all,” the repost read.
