Singer Ran Danker Mourns Death of Partner's Mother

Singer Ran Danker announced the death of Miri, the mother of his partner Itay Weiser, on Thursday night. Danker shared his grief in an Instagram story, remembering Miri as the woman who brought his partner into the world. "My beloved Miri, the woman who brought the greatest gift in the universe into the world, the mother of my Itay. You left for your world today and I already miss you so much and can't believe we won't see each other again in this lifetime," Danker wrote. He added, "I will always remember your gaze and the sound of your laughter, I am sad, confused, and grateful for everything. Rest in peace, beautiful woman."

Danker and Weiser have been in a long-term relationship. Danker first revealed in 2015 that he was in a relationship with a man and that he was attracted to both men and women, stating at the time that he had been with Weiser for three years. The couple married in an intimate ceremony in December 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Danker announcing it with a photo of their ringed hands and the caption "I Do." Three years later, in September 2023, Danker and Weiser had a formal wedding ceremony in New York, with Danker sharing that they had officially become husband and husband.
