Trina Braxton received a substantial amount of support from family and friends after losing her ex-husband Gabe Solis on Thursday.
Solis, 43, died December 20 in Texas after battling cancer. His passing came as a shock to many of Solis’ loved ones. He reportedly kept his cancer diagnosis a secret from those closest to him. However, Tmz reported that he was surrounded by family and friends amid his death.

Braxton and Solis tied the knot in 2003, but officially divorced in 2015 after infidelity issues. The two remained off-and-on again even after ending their marriage and were featured on “Iyanla: Fix My Life” earlier this year to work out issues in their complex relationship.
The “Braxton Family Values” actress has yet to make a public statement about her ex-husband’s shocking death, but she appeared to be in mourning after taking to Instagram on Friday and seemingly asking for comfort.
“I need a HUG … E bottle of wine,” Braxton’s post read.
