This past July, Knight hanged himself because of his breakup with McDonnell. On the night of his death he text McDonnell saying: “Are you going to say goodbye to me before I go?” His last text read: “I’m sorry for everyone.” Knight’s mother found him hanging from a tree in their yard.
McDonnell had to attend an inquest into the death of Knight.
Ferrell and McDonnell began dating two months after she broke up with Knight. Reports say that McDonnell is three months pregnant with their child.
