Just days before she died, Hampson posted images of her and Mann, along with the 6-month-old son Bowie,
Dani also had posted a video of Tom — a member of the group Stereo Kicks — singing Elton John and Dua Lipa’s song, “Cold Heart.”
Tom and Dani were actually supposed to get married Sept. 25, 2020, but the pandemic got in the way. At the time she posted, “I can’t wait to marry you, but the world has other plans.”
Via TMZ:
“Happy 6 months my darling boy.” She wrote, “I played this song almost every day of my 3rd trimester, it was in my labour playlist & it was number 1 the day Bowie was born… determined for it to be “our song” & for it always remind us of life’s good bits.”
Tom announced Dani’s death Monday, calling her the “brightest light in any room,” adding he will miss her forever. He told his followers, “I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June. On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak.”
He went on to say, “I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy.”
Tom auditioned as a solo singer for ‘X Factor’ back in 2014, but producers created the group, Stereo Kicks, of which he was a member.

I can’t believe I am writing these words but my darling Dani – my best friend, my everything and more, the love of my life – passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18th June.
On what was supposed to be the happiest day of our lives ended in irreversible heartbreak. I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle. I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.
I am completely broken trying to process this and I honestly don’t know where to go from here, but I do know I need to use any strength I can muster for our little boy. I will not be a mark on the parent that you had already become but I promise I will do my everything to raise Bowie just the way we always wanted. I promise you he will know how amazing his mummy was. I promise to make you so so proud.
The most beautiful person inside and out. The most incredible soul. We have lost such a special person and I am sure we are about to see an abundant outpouring of love that reflects that. I will try to find peace in your messages and comments, but right now I am grieving and I will be for a very, very long time.
My darling Dani, the brightest light in any room, my world is nothing but darkness without you. I will miss you forever.
