” Due to health issues, Katia and I are not able to continue,” Windsor wrote on Instagram in February. “I desire to take this opportunity to wish Katia all the very best in the future and a fast recovery.”

The quantity we had achieved throughout our partnership is something I can never forget and will always hold near to my heart. This news is something you can never get ready for. Rest In Peace Katia.”
