AceShowbiz - Floyd Mayweather, Jr. has broken his silence on his ex Josie Harris' death. Four days after her sudden passing, the former welterweight champion took to Instagram on Friday, March 13 to pay tribute to the mother of his three children.
The 43-year-old boxing promoter flooded his page with throwback pictures of him with the late Josie. In the captions, he called her "My Angel," "My Heart," "My Love," "My Rock," "My Friend," "My Sunshine" and "My Kiss." Two photos feature Jossie with her kids, which Floyd simply captioned with "My Family."
A day prior, Floyd and Josie's three kids, Koraun Mayweather, Zion Mayweather and Jirah Mayweather, paid tribute to their mother by changing their profile picture on Instagram to one of Josie and changing their bio to reflect her passing.
Koraun added a black heart emoji to express his feelings, while his profile photo shows his younger self with his late mother. Zion simply left a broken heart emoji on his bio and changed his profile picture to a photo of smiling Josie. Jirah also shared a photo of her with her late mother on her profile picture and wrote "01/17/80~03/10/20", which is the birth date and the passing date of Josie, on her bio.
Each of them also shared a throwback photo of them with their parents, adding a broken heart emoji. The photo was initially posted by Zion in 2014, where fans and followers have left messages of condolences.
Floyd's other ex Melissia Rene, who shares daughter YaYa Mayweather with the retired professional boxer, has also reacted to Josie's passing. "This one hurt .... I'm typing this with tears in my eyes," she wrote on her own Instagram page along with the same picture shared by Floyd and Josie's kids. "Josie I want you to know you've done such a great job with the kids."
She continued, "You've always loved YaYa like she was one of your own. I'll never forget the last message you sent YaYa about us coming to visit you. You have my word to always be there for the kids if they need ANYTHING. My heart hurts for the kids right now, but I know you will watch over & protect them. May God bless your soul RIP #josielharris."
Josie was found dead in a car at her home in Valencia, California on Monday evening, March 9. She was 40. Authorities are still investigating her death, but believe no foul play is involved.
