Skateboarder and actor RJ Mitte was reportedly dealing with relationship problems before his death at 34.
Sources close to his family say his fiancée, Kennedy Suarez, wanted him to choose between her and his mother, Dyna.
Kennedy reportedly felt Dyna was too involved in their relationship, leading to growing tension between them.
RJ was very close to his mom and sister, Lacianne, and was unwilling to cut ties with his family.
RJ and Kennedy had been friends for 10 years before they started dating in 2020.
They got engaged in October 2025 and were reportedly still together a week before his death. It remains unclear if they separated in the days that followed.
According to the sources, the relationship had been weighing heavily on RJ in the weeks before he died.
