Michelle Trachtenberg’s Boyfriend Jay Cohen Makes Shocking Revelation About Her Death
New York, NY – February 27, 2025
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Jay Cohen, the longtime boyfriend of actress Michelle Trachtenberg, has broken his silence following her unexpected passing. In an emotional statement released earlier today, Cohen revealed that Trachtenberg had been privately battling severe health complications for the past year—struggles she largely kept hidden from the public.
“Michelle was a fighter,” Cohen said. “She didn’t want people to worry about her. She always put on a brave face, but behind closed doors, she was dealing with unimaginable pain.”
According to Cohen, Trachtenberg had undergone a liver transplant last year, a procedure she had hoped would give her a new lease on life. However, complications from the surgery persisted, and her health reportedly took a turn for the worse in recent months. Cohen’s revelation confirms speculation that the actress had been struggling with undisclosed medical issues, despite maintaining an active presence on social media.
Perhaps the most shocking part of Cohen’s statement was his admission that Trachtenberg had confided in him about feeling “afraid of what was coming.” He recalled a recent conversation in which she expressed concern over her declining health. “She told me, ‘I don’t want people to see me like this,’ but I never imagined we’d lose her so soon.”
Cohen’s statement has left fans and friends devastated, many of whom took to social media to share their condolences. Ed Westwick, her Gossip Girl co-star, posted a heartfelt tribute, writing, “Michelle was one of a kind. She brought so much light into every room she entered. I can’t believe she’s gone.”
Trachtenberg’s family has yet to comment on Cohen’s revelation, but sources close to them have confirmed that they were aware of her health struggles.
As Hollywood mourns the loss of a beloved actress, Cohen’s words serve as a poignant reminder of the private battles many celebrities face behind the scenes.
