Nessa Barrett Is Heartbroken over the Death of Her ‘Angel’ Cooper Noriega
Rest in Peace, Cooper Noriega!
The whole TikTok community is currently mourning the death of Cooper Noriega.
Noriega, age 19, was pronounced dead after being found in the parking lot of Burbank, California, on Thursday evening; June 9, 2022.
On the next day, a Los Angeles Medical Examiner-Coroner spokesperson told People Magazine that Noriega’s cause of death has been deferred. Explaining what it meant, they said;
“It means that after an autopsy, a cause of death has not been determined and the medical examiner is requesting more investigation. Once the tests/studies come back, the doctor evaluates the case again and makes the cause of death determination.”
BFFs Podcast was the first to announce the news on social media. “Devastating news. RIP Cooper Noriega. Life is fragile. Enjoy every minute,” they wrote on Twitter. And when the news was confirmed, friends and followers have been pouring very heartfelt tributes.
Jaden Hossler, Travis Barker, Cynthia Parker, Morgan Cohen, and many more internet personalities have given tributes. And the same has been done by Noriega’s ex-girlfriend, Sabrina Quesada — the couple had only parted ways on April 21, 2022.
Now, Nessa Barrett has finally stepped forward to give tribute to the late TikTok star whom she regarded as “my angel.” Barrett initially was speechless when she learned the news about Noriega’s death. She took to her Instagram story and wrote this;
“I’m too heartbroken to talk about the situation rn but please enjoy every second with your loved ones. Nobody knows what’s gonna happen the next minute, life is unfair. I am asking all of you to please not ask cooper’s family and friends about what happened.”
“They must be super broken right now, they only need some support and PRIVACY,” she added and then asked her friends and followers to send a message to their loved ones and tell them “how much you love them.”
Around a day after posting that, on Saturday, June 11, Barrett took to her Instagram handle to share a very heartfelt tribute to her fallen angel. She posted multiple pictures, one clip, and one screenshot of her text with Noriega.
In the caption, she first wrote, “I’ve spent the past two days trying to comprehend how this could be real. There’s simply no way of processing the loss of ur best friend. I’ve been trying to understand how life could possibly still have meaning with u gone.”
“A part of me died with u. But what’s left of me is going to live for u. I’ll spend the rest of my life finishing everything we’ve ever dreamed of. I want to make u proud. U had the biggest heart I’ve ever encountered on this earth. A heart way too big for u to even carry.”
She continued, “for so long it was u and me just simply keeping each other alive. our bond was like no other. no one understood me the way u did. u saved me. u saved so many people. it broke my heart knowing how much pain u carried when u were such a light to this world.”
“I’ve always been so amazed by ur strength and how u carried urself. even in ur darkest times, u were nothing but the kindest and most caring human being. u were heaven-sent cooper. I’m convinced god sends angels to walk this earth to help heal people and u were one of them.”
As Barrett concluded her heart-wrenching tribute, she mentioned that Noriega was always her guardian angel and she is living every day for him. “It’s all for u. I can’t wait to see u again my sweet boy. My best friend forever, Rest in peace. 444.”
In the screenshot of her text message to Noriega, she had sent, “I love u, Cooper. I don’t deserve you. Thank you.” In reply, Noriega had written, “u do deserve me. God literally has his reasonings.”
Barrett has also shared multiple screenshots of the messages she sent to Noriega after his passing — which clearly showed how much Noriega meant to her and how much heartbroken she is at the moment.
Furthermore, she had posted a couple of screenshots of the text messages that Noriega had sent to her, in which the late TikTok star showed his care and affection towards Barrett as a best friend.
All of this shows that Barrett and Noriega were very close, and Noriega’s death has been mourned by Barrett and the whole TikTok community. Once again, Rest in Peace Cooper!

The Bachelor’s Aly Jacobs Gets Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend
The duo has been dating since early 2023.
Congratulations to Alyssa Danielle Jacobs, also known as Aly Jacobs, who recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, whose identity is yet to be revealed.
The 28-year-old former contestant of The Bachelor revealed her engagement to her boyfriend in a romantic Instagram post on Monday, August 5, 2024. She shared a series of pictures alongside her future husband while flaunting her engagement ring.
In the first picture, she was seen sitting in her fiance’s lap, as her partner delivered a sweet kiss on her cheeks. Jacobs seemed to be donning a red outfit; however, it isn’t clear as she had covered herself with her fiance’s coat.
On the other hand, her mystery fiance wore a white shirt with a navy blue suit. The second picture showed the newly engaged couple passionately kissing each other on the lips, as Jacobs upheld her hand to flaunt her stunning diamond engagement ring.

Similarly, the third and last picture she added was a selfie her now-fiance took on their first date at Bones Restaurant in Atlanta. To accompany those memorable images, she wrote, “from first dates to forever, the easiest yes.”
Moments after she made the big engagement announcement, her Instagram post was filled with congratulatory messages from friends and well-wishers. For instance, one Instagram user and a friend of the couple wrote, “I knew it!! Congrats, Aly!! So happy for you two.”
“OMG!!! Yay Aly!! You deserve it all. So happy for you!” wrote another friend of the former Bachelor contestant, with one Instagram user following up with, “Congratulations!!! Such an incredible couple, so so happy for y’all!”

Likewise, one Instagram user commented, “Over the moon elated for you both!!! So happy you found your person, and above all, to see you receive the love you are so worthy and deserving of. Congratulations lovey!!!”
Jacobs and her boyfriend-turned-fiance officially began dating on February 3, 2023. However, the exact details of how they met as well as all the details about her future husband currently remains unknown, as the reality star prefers to keep them under the limelight.
That said, the first time she featured her then-boyfriend on her Instagram handle was on June 21, 2023. She shared a series of pictures with her partner from their vacation in Amelia Island and captioned it by writing, “keeping this one to myself.”
Since then, she has frequently featured her boyfriend on her social media handles. In December 2023, they spent Christmas together, and a couple of months later, on February 3, 2024, they marked their first dating anniversary.
Fast forward to August 2024, Jacobs and her partner have taken a big step in their relationship and gotten engaged. Once again, congratulations to the love birds!

Jenn Tran Responds to Hurtful Racist Message She Received over Instagram
“You’ll have to try a little harder.”
Jenn Tran, the first Asian American Bachelorette, recently addressed a racist message she received, expressing her dismay and resilience. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of racism and the importance of standing against hate.
As The Bachelorette Season 21 – featuring Tran – continues to air weekly, Tran has been taking to her Instagram handle to bond with her fans, by asking them to send her which Taylor Swift song they believe applies to that week’s episode.
After going through all the suggestions, she picks one and officially names the one song as the “song of the week” after the episode airs. Some of Swift’s songs that have been picked during the past few weeks are ‘Sparks Fly,’ ‘Karma,’ ‘State of Grace,’ and ‘Jump Then Fall.’
On Monday, August 5, 2024, the fifth episode of The Bachelorette Season 21 aired, and as custom, Tran took to her Instagram story to ask her fans which Taylor Swift song applies to this week’s episode. However, one particular response wasn’t what Tran was expecting.

It’s because that response was targeted toward Tran’s ethnicity. This hateful and racist response targeted the reality star’s Asian roots, mentioning the shape of her eyes and her ability to “see” if they are “barely open.”
Tran immediately decided to shut down this racist message and clapped back via her Instagram story. First, she wrote, “First of all, not on Taylor Swift song day!!! How rude!” She then followed up with, “Second of all, if you’re gonna make a racist comment to hurt me, you’ll have to try a little harder than with something I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.”
Despite the hurtful message, she remains focused on her journey as the Bachelorette. She continues to approach her role with positivity and determination, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
As the first Asian American Bachelorette, Tran has faced unique pressures and responsibilities. In an earlier interview with Bachelor Nation, she discussed the significance of her role, expressing her desire to be a positive role model.
In the interview, she shared her thoughts on the pressures of being the first Asian American Bachelorette. She acknowledged the weight of expectations but emphasized her commitment to staying true to herself and her story. Jenn expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent her ethnicity and inspire others.
She stated, “Of course I feel pressure. A lot of it actually comes from me wanting to be a good role model and do it ‘right,’ whatever that means. At the end of the day, I tell myself that it’s just about being myself and telling my story the best that I can.”
Her journey as the Bachelorette is not only about finding love but also about breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity. Her grace and strength continue to inspire many, and her stance against racism sets a powerful example for her audience and beyond.

Shanae Ankney and Future Husband Nate Ebner Celebrate Second Anniversary
Congratulations to the two!
Shanae Ankney is relishing all the days before she officially becomes a wife to her boyfriend-turned-fiance Nate Ebner.
One such day was Ankney and Ebner’s second dating anniversary. On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, the Bachelor in Paradise alum took to her Instagram handle to mark the special occasion.
She posted a PDA-filled picture of herself and her partner, where they were sweetly kissing each other. The image was taken on the sidewalk, in front of what seems to be a small restaurant or a diner.
It means that the love birds went to get some alone time and celebrate their special milestone. Alongside the picture, she wrote a sweet caption, reading, “Love is spelled T-I-M-E. Happy two years my love. I can’t wait to share your last name.”
Some moments later, friends and well-wishers took to the comment section to pour congratulatory messages. One Instagram user wrote, “You were our favorite ever from the bachelor franchise, sooo happy to see you found your happily ever after!!!”
“So happy for y’all. May God bless you and your little family,” wrote another Instagram user. Similarly, a friend of the engaged duo commented, “Yay!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!”
Likewise, one doubter, who didn’t believe Ankney and Ebner’s relationship would last this long, took to the comment section and wrote, “I can’t believe it lasted this long. I was wrong. I thought he would leave within 3 months.”
Well, while there might have been some doubts about Ankney and her boyfriend’s relationship during its initial phase, those doubts went away as their bond strengthened. One of the main reasons behind their relationship’s strength was when they welcomed a baby.
Speaking from the start, the 32-year-old Ankney – whose birth name is Shanae Irene Ankney – officially began dating Ebner on July 30, 2022. However, she initially kept their relationship a secret and also didn’t feature him on her socials.

On November 11, 2022, she soft-launched her relationship with the former NFL player. She had posted the same picture as the one in her second dating anniversary post, except only Ebner’s arm was visible in the 2022 Instagram post.
On April 10, 2023, she officially hard-launched their relationship via Instagram. Less than a year later, on October 23, 2023, Ankney took to her Instagram handle to announce that she was pregnant with a baby girl and her due date was April 2024.
On April 11, 2024, she gave birth to an adorable daughter, whom the couple named Maven Jane. She publicly announced the good news on April 15, captioning her post, “Maven Jane 🤍 4•11•2024 🤍 you were worth the wait my sweet girl.”
A month after welcoming their baby girl, the boyfriend-girlfriend duo got engaged. On May 16, 2024, The Bachelor alum revealed that Ebner went down on his knee and proposed to her, to which she gladly accepted.

She shared a picture of her holding her baby girl, while flaunting her engagement ring, and wrote, “I can’t wait to do it all with you Nate, you make me the happiest girl alive. Here’s to FOREVER. I love you!”
As mentioned earlier, Ankney and her partner have been together for a little over two years. In the time they have spent together, they have welcomed a baby and gotten engaged. And the wedding bells might also be ringing soon. We wish the couple nothing but the best!
