00:00Life hasn't always been easy for Kelly Monaco.
00:03The former General Hospital star has been through everything from getting fired to heartbreaks
00:08that could break anyone's spirit.
00:11But what really hits hard is that she's lost not one, but two of the most important
00:15men in her life.
00:17So let's take a closer look at these tough moments and how she's powered through it all.
00:22Hey everyone, welcome to Trend Street.
00:26Kelly Monaco has been a famous face in the soap industry for decades.
00:31She kicked off her daytime drama journey back in 1999 on Port Charles, but it was in October
00:372003 when she stepped into the role of Samantha McCall on General Hospital that really put
00:43her on the map.
00:45She was an instant hit with fans, to the point she even got her first Daytime Emmy nomination
00:50for the Best Supporting Actress that very same year.
00:54For 21 years, Monaco brought Sam to life, but then came November 2024 when the show
01:00decided to fire Monaco and kill off Sam.
01:02Worst part?
01:03It wasn't her call and even Monaco was blindsided by the news.
01:07Fans were furious and even launched a petition to save her.
01:11Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to change the outcome and fans were left reeling.
01:16But as heartbreaking as her firing was, it doesn't compare to the pain of losing not
01:20one, but two of her exes.
01:24Kelly Monaco's life hasn't been short on heartbreak and losing Heath Freeman was one
01:29of the hardest blows.
01:31Known for keeping her personal life under wraps, Monaco never publicly confirmed their
01:35relationship, but their red carpet appearances and countless outings together told a different
01:40story.
01:41The two were reportedly a couple from 2010 to 2014 and even after their split, they stayed
01:47close.
01:48In fact, in 2020, Freeman wished Monaco a heartfelt happy birthday on Instagram, calling
01:54her his best friend on planet Earth.
01:57But tragedy struck just a year later.
02:00On November 14, 2021, Freeman, best known for his roles on Bones and NCIS, passed away
02:06from an accidental overdose.
02:08The news came as a shock to everyone.
02:11While Monaco remained silent publicly, insiders shared that she was deeply devastated by the
02:15loss.
02:18Julie Miller is a name forever linked to Monaco, both on and off the screen.
02:23Like her relationship with Freeman, Monaco never officially confirmed a romance with
02:27her General Hospital co-star, but fans couldn't help but speculate.
02:31The rumors really picked up after the two were spotted laughing and playing together
02:35on a beach in 2015.
02:38Their close bond began in 2014 when Miller stepped in to play Jason Morgan, Sam McCall's
02:43love interest.
02:45But their on-screen chemistry wasn't enough to save Miller's place on the show.
02:50He left GH in 2019, leaving fans, and Monaco, heartbroken.
02:54She even addressed his exit in a now-deleted tweet, saying,
03:03Then on September 15, 2023, Miller, who had been battling bipolar disorder, tragically
03:09died by suicide.
03:11The soap world was absolutely devastated, and Monaco, once again, kept quiet.
03:16However, a year later, she broke her silence with an emotional Instagram post, which is
03:22now deleted, saying she missed him and promising to one day tell our story.
03:27She ended the post with,
03:31Losing two people so close to her heart in just two years is a heartbreak beyond words.
03:36She barely had time to grieve Heath's loss before the pain of Miller's passing hit.
03:41Yet, through it all, Kelly keeps moving forward with grace, and that's exactly why we love
03:45her.
03:46So, let's all share some love for the amazing actress in the comments down below.
