Michelle Trachtenberg’s boyfriend is speaking out.
It’s hard to believe it’s already been more than four months since the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum passed away at just 39 years old. She left behind a generation of admirers and a huge host of loved ones, all with broken hearts. And few were closer to her than her longtime boyfriend Jay Cohen.
Since her sudden passing, he’s kept quiet on social media. But he just broke his silence with the sweetest message.

According to Us Weekly, the film producer took to his private Instagram account on Wednesday to mark the 26-year anniversary of receiving a kidney transplant. In the comments, one fan reportedly asked Jay to speak about his late love Michelle. According to the outlet, he responded:
“One day soon! Im very sorry”
Aw… He still can’t quite get there. So understandable. A second follower noted it was “not cool” to ask him about her, to which the talent agent responded sweetly:
“Thank you, it’s OK comes from the right place. Michelle was loved by so many.”
Awww. She truly was.
Jay didn’t directly address Michelle’s death in his lengthy post, but he did reflect overall on the value of life:
“We as human beings need to find a way to love and help all people in need. The divide must stop. Innocent lives should not be part of status quo war casualties, or politics, all people deserve the right to live In Peace.”
He also admitted to grappling with “pain” and “grief” in the wake of the Ice Princess star’s death:
“I am so grateful to all of you who are in my life sharing our common joys, helping me with tragedies and healing from pain and grief. I’m sure many of you know what I mean when I write that.”
He also gave an update on where he’s at physically:
“As always, I’m still in the gym keeping my mind and body in shape, healthy and calm. Yes I’ve added some very personal tattoos, when I look in the mirror as I wake and get ready for bed I remind myself of who I am, who I need to be and why I am. An extremely important rule in my life, never do anything that I will not want to see when I look in the mirror and ask myself was I true today.”
He reminded followers that “life and aging are humbling” and to live life with empathy,” before concluding:
“Believe in love, believe in faith and spirituality, care about others!”
Our hearts remain with Jay and all of Michelle’s loved ones!
