Ricki Lake's Ex-Husband and "Soulmate" Christian Evans Has Died
Ricki Lake's ex-husband and "beloved soulmate," Christian Evans, has died.
"It is with a heavy heart that I share that my beloved soulmate, Christian Evans has passed," Lake wrote in an emotional Instagram post. "The world didn't understand this man, but I did. He succumbed to his lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder."
"For anyone who has ever lost a family member or friend to mental illness, my heart goes out to you," Lake continued. "I am a greater person for having known him and spent the past six and a half years of my life with him. He was a man of love and what mends my broken heart today is knowing that he is finally at peace and his spirit is free. Rest in peace, my love."
Lake and Evans began dating in 2009, and were married in April of 2012. Lake first filed for divorce in October of 2014, but the proceedings were put on hold later that year, before the divorce was eventually finalized in 2015. Evans died yesterday (February 14, 2017).
