Kylie Jenner is still mourning her late hairstylist, Jesus Guerrero, two months after his sudden death at 34.
“Found this video from [October 2024]. I thought I could get through today without crying, but the ache of missing you hit all over again,” Jenner, 27, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, April 26, captioning a throwback video of the twosome. “Grief isn’t getting easier.”
According to Jenner, she’s only “getting lonelier” as the days pass following Guerrero’s death.
“I miss you so much,” the Kardashians star wrote on Saturday, addressing her late glam team member directly. “Why aren’t you here? Every first without you hurts [so much].”
News broke in February that Guerrero had died. (He regularly worked for celebrity clients including Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and more.)
“Jesus was more than my friend — he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love and unwavering support,” Jenner wrote in a lengthy Instagram tribute at the time. “I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter.”
She added, “Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. The pain of losing you is just unbearable and I don’t know how to move forward without you, but I know great grief is born only of great love. I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.”
Jenner further noted that Guerrero’s “words, laughter, kindness [and] beautiful spirit” will always live in her heart moving forward.
“I’ll cherish all our moments together, every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again,” she concluded at the time. “I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I’m going to miss you so much. More than any words can say.”
While a cause of death has yet to be confirmed, a source previously told Us Weekly that Guerrero was battling an undisclosed illness when he traveled with client Lopez, 55, to Dubai earlier this year.

“Everyone on his team did everything they could to get him to the doctors because he was not well,” Guerrero’s sister, Gris, exclusively told Us in February. “They told him he was not going to work, he should see a doctor and rest. And he wanted to come home.”
Gris continued, “We have his paperwork from the hospital [in Dubai] and it was a very long flight and a lot in between and going on [to] the hospital [in the United States]. That’s part of why we are looking into his health more with what happened. As soon as he showed up [in Dubai], he was told you don’t look well, to sit down and rest. And if he didn’t get well, to go back to the hospital. [They told him], ‘We want you to take care [of] yourself.’”
Guerrero was laid to rest in an intimate funeral in March.
