I turned 27 yesterday, actually," he told People. "I was holding her hand all day and that’s all I needed." The late social media star had found fame on TikTok, where she had more than 440,000 followers and had collaborated with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and Twilight star Taylor Lautner.

She shared some photos of the special occasion to her Instagram page, where she wrote: "The best night of my life! @gordongram thank you endlessly for giving me the biggest yes, Chef." Responding to the post, Gordan commented: "What an absolute pleasure, I’m so glad you had a great time @fruitsnackmaddy also it’s the first time I’ve ever danced in my kitchen thx" And in February she shared that she had ticked guest-starring on a podcast off of her bucket list, when she appeared on The Squeeze Podcast with Taylor Lautner and his wife Taylor Dome.
