Although Yeison Jiménez had achieved international fame, his family life — made up of his three children and his wife Sonia Restrepo — was kept completely private. His partner stayed away from the spotlight and the entertainment world, although the singer frequently shared photos with her. However, following the death of the Colombian artist, the woman who is now his widow appeared publicly on social media to say goodbye with deeply moving words.

Sonia dedicated several posts on her Instagram profile to bid farewell to the man she said was the love of her life. In her most recent post, alongside a video of the two of them together, she stated that although Yeison has left this world, his love will remain planted in her forever. She thanked him for the time they shared, especially for the moments filled with laughter, but also for his unconditional support and the way he cared for and protected her.

“Today I have to say goodbye to you, even though my heart refuses to accept it. You leave this world, but not my life, because your love remains planted in me forever. Thank you for every moment we shared, for the laughter, for the unconditional support, for your unique way of loving me and taking care of me.”

Sonia expressed that although his absence hurts deeply, she finds comfort in knowing that she loved him and was truly loved in return. Before ending her post, she made him a promise: that she would carry him with her in every step she takes until they meet again.

“I promise to carry you with me in every step I take, in every memory, in every heartbeat. Rest in peace, my love. Until life allows us to meet again, you will continue living in my heart.”

Sonia dedicated these emotional words to the father of her children and thanked him for the time they spent together.
