TV STAR Brennan Elliott has shared that his wife, Camilla Row, sadly passed away after her fight with cancer.

Brennan opened up about the loss in a post on Instagram. Here’s what we know about Camilla and her journey.

Who was Brennan Elliott's wife?

Camilla “Cami” Row was a Korean-American clinical psychologist.

A California native, she grew up around Orange County and lived in Los Angeles with her family.

Sadly, the 49-year-old actor said his wife of 14 years had died of stage four gastric cancer on March 22 at 5:28 am.

Brennan took to Instagram to reveal the tragic news.

“There is no easy way to say this but I know my wife @camilla_row would have wanted me to thank every person from all over the world who prayed for her over the last 8 years she suffered immeasurably trying to survive,”; he wrote alongside a picture of Row on the beach.

Elliott continued: “Our babies and I lost our rock, a person who not only was the love of my life, my soulmate, my best friend and lover but the toughest strongest fearless person I have ever met in my life and the greatest mother to her babies.”;

Cami and the Hallmark star tied the knot on September 10, 2011.

Despite being in a high-profile relationship, Cami stayed out of the spotlight as much as possible and kept her social media pages private.

According to her Instagram biography, Cami described herself as a mom, patient advocate, and said she was living her best life with stage 4 stomach cancer.

She was also a budding philanthropist, and dedicated to volunteering with and raising funds for cancer-related charities.

On May 20, 2024, Cami and Brennan spent a “date night” attending a fundraising event for City of Hope.

The organization is a “national cancer institute-designated comprehensive cancer center for cancer, diabetes, and other life-threatening diseases,” according to its social media page.

Brennan also affectionately called her his “warrior queen,” according to several Instagram posts.

Following her death, the Crossword Mysteries star told his followers, friends, and family that Cami is finally “at peace”; now and no longer in pain.

“You are free! Heaven is a far better place with you in it, my love,”; he said, speaking to his wife.

“THANK YOU for being the best wife, mother, and friend I’ve ever known.

“What you did for the #gastriccancer community was immeasurable, but what you did for me as a man will last forever,”; Elliot continued.

“For any of you who met or knew her your life was blessed because of her presence. I love and am in love and will always be in love with you my baby!

“I know u r dancing and are on vacation in heaven and free from the grips of cancer.

“When the lord calls me and it’s my time I will c u in heaven and we will start dancing again.!!

“I will always be your hot mess! Missing you on this plane forever but will c u soon! THANKYOU Cami for being YOU!”;

Camilla Elliott’s cancer journey

Cami received her initial cancer diagnosis in 2018, after years of suffering from reflux pain.

“I thought I was so healthy. I didn’t smoke. I ate well. So it came as a real shock to me. I didn’t even know stomach cancer was a thing,” she recalled, as reported by Orange Coast Magazine.

“I’m a clinical psychologist by trade, but through this experience, I found this new calling to advocate for patients to receive personalized care,” she added, revealing that she finally went public with her diagnosis in 2022.

In April 2022, Brennan took to social media where he updated his fans on his wife, revealing that she had been diagnosed with stomach cancer.

“Those closest to me know that my Wife Cami has had several bouts with cancer in the past but now she embarks on a new journey as a Stage IV metastatic gastric cancer patient,” Brennan wrote on Instagram.

“There is no one I consider braver, stronger, more Fearless even when you’re Faced with a sinister opponent who never plays fair. Even after countless surgeries and chemotherapy rounds.”

On Friday, June 7, Cami shared a post to her private Instagram account, featuring her sleeping in a hospital bed with Brennan by her side.

She underwent a “mass excision surgery,” which involved “the removal of her belly button to help fight her gastric cancer,” as reported by People.

“Brennan has been pulling double duty, prepping for a movie & coming to see me daily, making the best of a makeshift office in my hospital room as I nap,” Cami shared.

According to Healthline, a stage 4 stomach cancer diagnosis means that the disease has spread through tissue, the bloodstream, or the lymph system.

Stage 4 is reportedly harder to treat than earlier stage stomach cancer and while it is not curable, it is treatable.

Some of the most common treatment options include laser therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

There are also some forms of target drug therapy that can be used to treat the advanced stage.

Do Brennan and Cami have any children together?

Since tying the knot in 2011, Brennan and Cami have welcomed two children, a son and a daughter.

Their son, Liam, was born on July 26, 2012.

The couple's daughter, Luna, was born on August 30, 2014.

“I have always said being a father is my most challenging yet most fulfilling role. It was nice to wake up to these two thumbs upping me all morning,” the actor captioned a photo of his children on Father's Day 2021.

Brennan's children often make appearances on his social media accounts.
