Paul Teal’s loved ones are sharing more about his tragic passing.
According to the late One Tree Hill alum’s partner Emilia Torello, Paul died at the age of 35 seven months after being diagnosed with stage 4 neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer in April, she told TMZ.
“He was the most talented man I’ve ever met,” Emilia added to the outlet, which notes her as Paul’s fiancée. “When he set his mind to something, there was no stopping him. He was the most diligent and dedicated person. I truly believed with all of my heart that he would come out the other side of this because of those traits. That’s what makes this loss even more tragic.”
Emilia also shared that Paul had filmed a new series for Starz amid his cancer battle, titled The Hunting Wives, noting being with the cast and crew helped encourage him amid his health challenges.
Emilia confirmed Paul had died in a Nov. 17 message, writing of her late love, “Paul, you were my soulmate, my soon-to-be-husband, my rock, and my future. You filled my lungs with laughter, my stomach with butterflies, and my heart with love. You were taken too soon, in a battle that you fought bravely without fail.”
