TikTok star Haley Odlozil dies from terminal cancer aged just 30 years old

A TikTok star has sadly died five years after being diagnosed with cancer.

Haley Odlozil was diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer back in 2015, shortly before she tied the knot with partner Taylor.

Since then, the 30-year-old has been incredibly open about her illness, documenting her journey on social media.

But her husband has now confirmed the tragic news that Hayley has sadly passed away.

Taking to TikTok, Taylor said he and her family, including her little boy Weston, were utterly devastated by her death, and couldn't comprehend life without her

Taylor said: "It is with unbelievable sadness that I tell all of you my sweet Haley has passed away.

"I cannot begin to describe the amount of heartache & grief myself & our entire family is experiencing."

"I never knew my heart could physically hurt. I've never seen someone fight so hard to live. Her love for me, Weston, her family, & her friends is what has kept her going for so many years, especially the last 8 months.

"I'm so blessed to have had Haley a part of my life for 16 years. It has been my true honor to take care of her."

Haley and Taylor began dating in 2008, having met at high school.

However, their relationship was rocked when, a few years later, Haley was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

A year after her diagnosis, and now married, the couple welcomed their first child, Weston, into the world through surrogacy.

Over the past few years, Haley's story has been an inspiration to the millions who've seen her posts and videos.
