You didn’t even need to know Nicole personally to see how excited her and Boga were to be parents. You could just tell they were soul mates. Such sad news man. RIP Nicole Thea and baby Reign 🙏🏾🤍

I’ve been thinking about Nicole Thea so much. She just looked so happy to start her new chapter with Boga. It’s so unfair she didn’t get to see it. It’s unfair Reign didn’t get to experience life as we know it. It’s so unfair Boga has had his family ripped away from him. Man 💔
