According to People, Mann posted a photo of him and Hampson on Instagram stories Thursday, writing, “Nearly 3 weeks on from what will always remain the worst day of my life. Still in shock & still no words – my beautiful Dani is an indescribable loss.”

“Nothing can be said or done,” Mann went on, “but I need to acknowledge the immense amount of love, kindness & support that [our son] Bowie, Dan’s family, my family & I have received. It has overwhelmed us.”

Mann called this the “darkest of times,” but said he’s “found glimpses of feeling that union of love that has come from far & wide for our Dani.” He called Hampson “the best of the best.” Mann followed this message with another photo, this time of Hampson and their son Bowie.
