LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: RJ Mitte’s mother, Dyna Mitte, has addressed rumors surrounding her late son and his fiancre, Kennedy Suarez, who was absent from his celebration of life ceremony.

The ‘Breaking Bad’ actor died at the age of 34 on October 14. A ceremony honoring him was held on October 16 in Brownsville, Texas. Many of his family members and close friends attended, but Suarez was not present.

Later, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Dyna clarified that she “can share certain things, but some things are private and are not my story to tell. I don’t know all of the conversations between the two of them.”

“I can say there were struggles, but those conversations were private between RJ and me and between him and his friends,” she explained.

The disability rights activist’s mother further revealed that Suarez, whom her son proposed to in October last year after five years of dating, “moved in December.”

“They had only seen each other three or four times since then. I don’t know what those conversations were after she moved. I had not spoken with her about not coming to the funeral. She had asked one of RJ’s friends on the day I found my son, but at that point we didn’t even know what was happening. No plans had been made. That’s all I can share about it,” Dyna added.

The grieving mother also addressed a TMZ report claiming that Suarez wanted RJ to choose between her and Dyna.

The ‘Triumph’ star’s mother confirmed the claim in an interview with NBC News, saying, “I will tell you there was some of that going on. That was part of the struggle. I’m not going to lie about that.”

“We’re a very tight, close-knit family, and that was weighing on him heavily. And I’m not going to go into the details why that ultimatum was being given, because it’s, again, not anything I could control,” she stated.

Meanwhile, speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Dyna called RJ “the light of my life”.

She shared, “He was always an achiever, and he lit up a room with his big smile. He was also laid-back and incredibly giving. If another child wanted his toy, he would give it to them. If a child got hurt and started crying, he would go check on them. He was passionate and caring from an early age.”
