Keo Motsepe mourns the death of his beloved mother.

Professional dancer The Dancing With The stars took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal his personal tragedy.

I’m going to miss you mama, the South African native wrote, along with a red heart emoji. ‘I love you #RIP.’

Earlier in the day, Motsepe broke down in tears when he briefly told about his loss during an Instagram Live.

‘[I] woke up this morning to the most painful news ever, ‘the 31-year-old said before adding,’ I lost the queen of my heart. ‘

So far, there is no word on an official cause of death.

Motsepe’s mother’s death comes just days after him reflected on the highs and lows of 2020 with an Instagram collage, including meeting new girlfriend and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause, and completing a new season of DWTS with partner Anne Heche and his mother.

“ While there are no words to describe the many challenges 2020 had in store for us, I am inspired not only by those close to my heart, but also by humanity, ” he wrote with clear emotion.

“This year more than ever I have seen people come together like never before, and while there is still uncertainty in the air, I hope we stick around for each other.”

Motsepe ended by looking ahead to the year ahead.

‘Thank you all for your kindness and love, and May 2021 will bring you joy, health and light,’ he added, along with the hashtags: love, family, friends and Happy New Year. ‘

Motsepe is the first black professional dancer on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars.
