Country Ever After star Criscilla Anderson has died at 45.
Anderson died of colon cancer — a diagnosis she had been publicly open about since 2018 — her photographer announced Tuesday in an emotional Instagram post sharing the hip-hop dancer’s final statement.
“If you’re reading this, I’ve finally slipped into the arms of Jesus — peacefully and surrounded by love,” Anderson said in a statement shared to her social media accounts. “Please don’t stay in the darkness of this moment. I fought hard and I loved deeply. I am not gone… I’m Home.”
She is survived by the three children she shared with her ex-husband, country star Coffey Anderson. The former couple was married in 2009 and Coffey filed for divorce in 2022.
Coffey paid tribute to his ex-wife in a social media post, saying she “defined strength and fighter like no other person on the planet.”
“We miss you already. Our hearts are shattered. Our minds are jumbled. Our lives will never be the same. The house is quieter because you’re missing. The babies are resilient and strong as ever. We did good with them.So, dance your heart out on the beach in heaven,” Coffey wrote.
