Lorna Luxe Returns on Social Media After Loss

Lorna Luxe has returned to social media where she shared an update with fans following the death of her husband John.

The businessman, who was 21 years Lorna's senior, battled stage four adrenal after being diagnosed in April 2023.

Lorna announced his death on February 12. The couple had been married for 16 years. 

After taking time away from social media, Lorna has now returned where she posted an update to her legion of fans.

The 43-year-old said: 'I'm checking in I've been quiet on here but i promise I'm reading your messages and comments daily. They're a real comfort.

'Thank you for being so kind and taking time to message me, it means more than you will ever know.'

Lorna's update was posted to her Instagram stories with a black background.

Announcing John's death, Lorna shared a heartbreaking tribute, writing: 'My beautiful, brave John died yesterday. I am heartbroken.

'We were together to the very end, at home, in our own bed and holding hands which is exactly what he wanted.

'The last conversation we had I asked him how he was feeling and he replied “rough but in love” and that was so him, to the point and choosing to put aside his fears to make me feel cherished and loved.

'John and I were so grateful to the district nurses who came daily to support us and make him comfortable.

'Anna was his favourite nurse and the kindness she showed him was beyond, she was a real-life angel.

'We couldn’t have had those last few days together at home without that care and my mum who has been with us keeping me strong when I needed to stay strong for John.

'John you are a class act and I will love you forever.'

The couple had kept followers updated throughout his treatment, after she said they were there for her when John went into remission in November 2023.

But in a tragic turn of events, the former banker's cancer returned in May 2024 and spread to his brain.  

Before Christmas, John was rushed back to hospital with organ failure following a complication with his chemotherapy and fell ill with sepsis.

Lorna was told to 'prepare for the worst' in December 2025, but she said at the time that she knew he would recover. The ever-determined John was home in time for Christmas.

She told Fabulous magazine: 'It's been quite scary because we don't know how long we've got... We don't know how long John is going to feel up for doing things so we're running at a million miles an hour at the minute. We know we're on a timeline.'

Lorna and John had been treating themselves to nice experiences to make the most of the time they have together, and said they were taking each day as it comes.

'I don't make long-term plans,' she said. 'Fundamentally, I'm probably going to be a widow at some point in my 40s and that's a bit of a scary place to be for any woman.'

After John's last stint in hospital, he told Lorna they needed to get their 'ducks in a row' financially, in case he's not here, but she said: 'We certainly aren't discussing funerals or anything like that, though. We are just not in that space.'
