‘Heartbroken.' A Ton Of Hallmark Stars (And Some GAF Stars Too) Reach Out After The Crossword Mysteries' Brennan Elliott Confirms His Wife Has Died

The Hallmark family has suffered a heartbreaking loss, as Brennan Elliott, star of the Crossword Mysteries movies and other TV rom-coms at the network, announced that his wife Camilla Row passed away on March 22 following a long battle with cancer. In light of the news, several of Elliott's Hallmark brethren — as well as actors from their rival network, Great American Family — came together to send their condolences.
Camilla Row was diagnosed with gastric cancer in 2018, but Brennan Elliott first spoke publicly about it in April 2022, after the cancer came back and she received a Stage 4 diagnosis. Elliott announced her passing in a lengthy, emotional post on Instagram that showed his wife smiling on a beach:
Many of Brennan Elliott's friends and fans were familiar with the struggle his family has been through over the years, and fellow Hallmark star Marcus Rosner — who also appeared with Elliott on the series UnREAL (available to stream with a Netflix subscription) — praised his friend for how open he was to helping others, even in the face of his own family's turmoil. Rosner said:
I'll never forget watching you bravely meet fan after fan at the Hallmark Christmas Experience with full presence and an open heart. So many shared their own tragic stories, and you stayed there for hours, really connecting. It was incredible. I watched it take so much out of you. It said everything about how deeply you're committed to honouring her and everything your family's been through. I hope you all can rest.
The Hallmark Channel and many of its actors also added their comments, writing:
Hallmark: We are heartbroken for you and your family. We are so sorry.
Tamera Mowry: Oh Gosh, I'm so so sorry Brennan. My heart is breaking for you and your family. 😢💔
Nikki DeLoach: I'm so so sorry, my friend. Absolutely gutted for you and the kids. Wrapping you up in all my love and prayers. ❤️🩹
Holly Robinson Peete: 💔💔💔💔🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
Will Kemp: Mate, sending you and the family all the love & strength there is in the world. My arms are flying across seas to hug you tight my friend. ♥️
Cindy Busby: Brennan, my friend, ugh, there are no words! This is so heartbreaking for you and your beautiful family. Your love & care for Cami has always been absolutely inspiring! What an immense loss. Sending love & healing!!!! 🕊️🙏💔
Victor Webster: Sending you and the family tons of love my friend. I know how heavy your heart is and I'm so sorry for your loss.
Ashley Williams: Oh my sweet friend I love you so much. This is the nightmare. Please know I am right here for you and the kids and holding you so tight in my heart right now.
Brennan Elliott most recently reunited with frequent co-star Lacey Chabert on Hallmark for His & Hers in 2024. In 2023, he was part of the Countdown to Christmas with Ms. Christmas Comes to Town, in which the titular character is diagnosed with a terminal illness.
Despite the fact that Brennan Elliott remained at Hallmark when many of the actors jumped ship to GAF, a couple of those former colleagues also sent their love following Camilla Row's passing:
Cameron Mathison: This brought me to tears my beautiful friend. We've talked many times through her journey and I just love you all so much. I'm so so sorry for your loss and may you hold onto her beautiful memories for a lifetime
Jen Lilley: Oh my goodness Brennan, I am so sorry and heartbroken for you all to read this. I will be keeping you all in my prayers constantly. This is a wonderful tribute and I know Cami and Jesus are proud of you and the kids and how much love you share then, now, and for all eternity.
Of course, loyalty to one network or the other doesn't and shouldn't mean anything in the face of what Brennan Elliott and his family have been through and are still going through. It's sweet to see so many Hallmark stars and GAF alums reaching out.
We at CinemaBlend also send our condolences to the actor, and while we want to see him back on the Hallmark movie schedule soon, hopefully he takes as much time as he needs for himself and his family.

From Braids to Bows, These Dads Love Doing Their Daughters' Hair
Strider Patton says there's one moment that makes all the hours of perfecting braids and bows and high ponies worth it. "Someone leans down to my daughter and says, 'Wow, your hair looks great today! Did your mommy do it?'" Patton, who teaches fathers how to style kids' hair on his popular @ Instagram account, tells His daughter Imogen was 2 years old at the time. "She turns around and points at me. She says, 'Dad braids.' And I was like, 'Yes! That's it!'" In the three years since that moment, Patton's hair styling skills have improved dramatically. Now he can do lace braids, bubble braids and even a double French high pony. And he has brought almost 250,000 followers on Instagram along for the ride. Patton is one of the many fathers who are taking on hairstyling duties and loving every brushstroke. The growing number of dads who do their daughters' hair with pride speaks to a change in the way fathers view their roles in the family, he says. He doesn't aim for perfection. He aims for presence. "It doesn't matter how bad your hair (styling) is," Patton says. "Your daughter's just going to love that you're there with her." When he was first struggling with his Imogen's hair, Patton searched for hair tutorials online but most featured moms doing their daughters' hair. They sailed too quickly through the basic steps that Patton still needed to learn. So Patton started an Instagram account for dads who didn't know where to begin. He set up a camera and shared videos of him doing Imogen's hair every morning. As a professional artist, he had a more flexible schedule than his wife, who owns a children's theater. "It's just so fun to not be an expert and just be like, 'Hey, I'm just a dad trying to learn how to do this, just like you guys.'" Patton certainly isn't alone on his journey. chatted with several dads who have surpassed their wives' hairstyling skills. And they're not just tooting their own horn — their wives volunteered them for interviews. Shounak Shah, who says his daughter Arya is "6 going on 15," shares that if he lets Arya choose a parent to style her hair, "she would pick me, 100 percent." He jokes, "Mommy is not the styling type." Shah, a physical therapist, will call out to Arya, "It's salon time!" and she sits at a little desk and watches a show while Shah adds product and styles her hair. Dad Jon Studham plays 'Baby Alive' for his 5-year-old while he styles her hair every morning. "I was terrible at first, but she didn't care," he says. "It isn't about getting every strand in place. It's about showing up, being part of her rhythm, building the moments in life that matter and showing she can count on me." He continues, 'One day, she won't need or want me to do her hair. But until then, I'll be there — with a brush, a bow, and all the time she needs.' "I love finding ways to bond with my kids in so many different ways, and doing hair was just one of those creative outlets," says Scott Wormser, who heads up the marketing department at a print shop. He is so adept at doing his 10-year-old daughter Marni's hair that he's even in charge of her styles for dance competitions, which are often difficult and specific ... and must stay intact throughout an energetic routine. "My wife would always try to do a braid on my daughter's hair, and she just wouldn't get it as tight as I could." Wormser laughs, "And I definitely have much more patience than my wife." Patton points out that the sheer number of dads who have taken on hair duty suggests a change in our outlook on modern fatherhood. "For quarter of a million dads out there, it's saying that I care enough to try something new," he says. "It's hard, but it's fun, and it means something. And it gives me a moment, every day, with my girl." Patton sums it up by adding, "At the heart of this, it's really simple: dads want to connect with their daughters, but a lot of us don't always know how. We're better with tools than tea parties, better with our hands than with our feelings. Learning to braid brings those two worlds together." This article was originally published on

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Were Seated with the Same Last Name at a Special Table at Recent Wedding — All the Details
The seating placards for a recent wedding that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attended were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce" The wedding planner behind the Tennessee nuptials revealed the seat assignments on Instagram The news comes amid the recent success of Swift buying back her mastersThe wedding planner behind the Tennessee wedding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce recently attended dropped an Easter egg of her own — that the couple's seat assignments were addressed to "Taylor and Travis Kelce." The photo of the seat assignment, shared by wedding planner Ellie Nottoli on Instagram Monday, June 9, also revealed that the couple was placed at table 13 — famously Swift's lucky number, which she used to paint on her hand for live performances during her early touring years. Other photos offered a behind-the-scenes look at the sky blue and butter yellow spring wedding color palette, as well as the setup of the whimsical outdoor wedding, including the blue hydrangea centerpieces. PEOPLE reached out to Nottoli for comment, but did not immediately hear back. The couple stepped out for the wedding in Tennessee on Friday, June 6. Photos and videos quickly circulated online after one attendee posted a snap of Swift talking to fellow wedding attendees with the caption, 'not taylor swift being at my friends friends cousins wedding." In additional photos and videos shared by guests at the ceremony, Swift, 35, wore a blue floral midi dress paired with brown platform sandals and her natural blonde waves. Kelce, 35, wore a striped button-down shirt, brown slacks, and black shoes. The "Fortnight" singer was seen spending time outdoors with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end and their fellow wedding guests. Fans took to social media after Nottoli shared wedding details on social media — including the seat assignments for Swift and Kelce. One reposted an image of the invitation to X, and wrote: "TABLE 13????? TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE????😭😭😭 THIS IS SO SERIOUS😭😭." Another added, "TAYLOR AND TRAVIS KELCE?!????? EXUSE ME." While a third wondered, "should i say congratulations? 🤫💍" Swift and Kelce's appearance at the wedding came shortly after the news of Swift acquiring her first six masters from Shamrock Capital after they were previously purchased by Scooter Braun.

The 14-time Grammy winner announced in an Instagram post that she regained control of her first six albums, directing fans to a handwritten letter posted to her website. "Hi. I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow," Swift wrote in the opening of the letter. "A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now," she continued. Read the original article on People
