In David’s original tribute post to his ex-husband, he shared his love for The Vivienne even though they had been divorced a while.
“My heart literally sank when I got the call!!” he wrote, “My heart is shattered!!! Never in a million years did I think I’d ever be writing anything like this about @thevivienne_.”
David continued: “This man changed my life so much from the day we first met in August 2017 in Gran Canaria!! We literally clicked straight away and we knew we was going to be together for along time!! He made me feel love and shown me what it was really like to love someone.”
He wrote: “I’m so happy to say I not only met you but we was together, we was husbands and you was the biggest part of my left for such a long time! 6 years is such a long time to spend 24/7 with you will always always have a place in my heart.”
The tribute post ended: “Going to miss you more than people will ever know sleep tight angel.”
