As reported by Kim Renner of Us Weekly, Niamh Cullen announced the death of her husband Jamie Gill on social media on November 29, 2025. Cullen expressed her grief poignantly, calling Jamie “the light of my life” and revealed the couple had been married for almost a year. “The unimaginable has happened. Our worst fear. My beautiful husband has been taken from us,” she wrote. Cullen shared memories of love, saying, “I was the luckiest to be loved and cherished by you, Jamie.

The couple wed in Italy in November 2024, just days before Jamie was diagnosed with cancer.

Despite his illness, Jamie remained positive and inspiring throughout his treatment, enduring ten chemotherapy sessions and several hospitalisations over the course of the year. Cullen recounted his resilience and the emotional toll it took on her. She said, “It has been incredibly challenging to witness the person you love in pain…and to feel so powerless”.
In the months following diagnosis, Gill was admitted to hospital multiple times due to complications including pneumonia and sepsis that were linked to the progression of his cancer. Cullen shared that the cancer had returned earlier this autumn, further intensifying the struggle.
