TikTok star Kaitlin Reagan reveals her boyfriend, Francesco LoPresti, has died of cancer at age 24

TikTok star Francesco LoPresti has died at the age of 24 after a seven-year battle with testicular cancer.

His girlfriend, fellow TikTok star Kaitlin Reagan, 24, tearfully shared the heartbreaking news on their preferred social media platform on March 30, telling her 3.1 million followers that he died on March 21.

LoPresti had been diagnosed with stage 3B testicular cancer at age 17, and it spread to his lymph nodes, neck, liver, spinal cord, and right hip, requiring years of surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy.

His condition had recently worsened, and earlier this month, Reagan revealed that he was in hospice care.

In yesterday's video, a crying Reagan told followers, 'My goal was for you guys to watch him ring the bell [celebrating being in remission]. But the cancer took his life and Francesco passed away on Monday, March 21.'

'And he loved everything that you guys did for him and just watching our videos and standing with us. And I thank you for that.

'It's gonna to take some time for us to really comprehend that he's not here anymore and to heal. But what I do ask is that you take the time to watch all of our amazing videos that we made in the past because that's what we have now, ‘cause they were so special. 

'And I'm going to be back. I'm just going to need some time. And everything that I do moving forward will be for him. So thank you for being here and don't forget me. I'll be back,' she concluded.
