When did Tom Mann get engaged to Danielle Hampson? X-Factor alum remembers losing late fiancée on wedding day

Former X-Factor contestant Tom Mann remembered his late fiancée Danielle Hampson one year after her death, which happened to be their wedding day. The former took to Instagram on Sunday, June 18, 2023, to honor the love of his life and express his emotions dealing with life after she was gone.

Tom Mann, who got engaged to Danielle Hampson in December 2019, took to Instagram to share a picture of his late fiancée and their son Bowie.

"1 year, somehow...1 year ago, I put on my suit expecting to meet you at that town hall & tell you ‘I do'. I ended up wearing it in a hospital waiting room," he said.

He continued to reflect on the "unbearable" pain he had to endure after her passing away, not knowing that a year ago, he'd woken beside her for one last time.

"No answers to how or why, and no words to articulate any of these feelings. Nothing makes any sense & everything has changed. I don't know why you couldn't stay."
