Samantha is known to keep her 476,000 Instagram followers in the loop with behind-the-scenes snaps of her family life.

In her latest story, Samantha wrote: “Morning breakfast with Daddy.

“She wakes up every day tells him how her sleep was, what she’s doing today and asks if he’s having fun in heaven.”

In the pic, their daughter, Lennix, is sat at the kitchen counter opposite two framed photos of her late dad.

Samantha – who married Kyle in 2010 – has been very open as she navigates heartbreak and grief while continuing to parent.

In her latest post with a carousel of photos of the kids, Samantha wrote: “I lost the love of my life, my person, and my best friend.

“But I’m still Mom. Grief doesn’t stop parenting. The morning still comes.

Samantha has been navigating her heartbreak while parenting on socials

“There are questions to answer, tears to wipe away, races to get to, bedtime stories to read, and two kids trying to make sense of a loss that no child should ever have to face.

“People keep asking me how I stay so strong. The truth is, I don’t feel strong most days. I miss Kyle every second of every day.

“I want to curl up in a ball and cry. When your children are hurting, something inside of you just takes over.

“You get up early, have a good cry, and then go make the pancakes.

“You answer the questions the best you can when you still have so many of your own.

“You smile for them when you’re in physical pain because you miss him so much.

“You do everything you can so they can keep being kids and not carry the full weight of all this.

“As a mom, all you want is for your children to feel safe, loved, and protected, even when your own world has fallen apart.

“They are the reason I keep putting one foot in front of the other. For Brexton. For Lennix. For him.”
