He was right by her side the whole way. - by Chanelle Mansour

Camilla Franks has been through a lot in her life. From battling cancer to removing her ovaries, the fashion designer has been dealt more heartache than most, but standing by her side through it all was her devoted partner JP Jones.

When Camilla was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in January 2018, it was just months after she welcomed her daughter Luna Gypsy Jones with her musician partner JP.

"As you know, my beautiful daughter Luna arrived a few months ago, and it is her smile and warmth that remind me this is a challenge I will embark on with courage – for her and my fiancé as well as myself," Camilla said at the time.

JP also took to Instagram as a show of support and wrote: "I'm so proud of my beautiful fiancée who has battled 5 months of chemotherapy. Today was her last day. She is a warrior. Onwards and upwards from here on in my love."

The couple first met more than 25 years ago at a nightclub in London, and after two decades and several relationships in between, the pair finally reunited and became engaged in 2016.

And while they planned to get married in 2017, the two put their wedding plans on hold when Camilla found out she was pregnant two months ahead of their scheduled wedding in India.

The pair decided to postpone the wedding to November last year, however, Camilla's cancer diagnosis in 2018 put their plans on hold once more.

The couple share their three-year-old daughter Luna together, and Camilla has previously spoken about how it brought her and JP even closer.

“Luna's arrival was wild and incredible,” Camilla told marie claire.

“From the moment we met Luna she brought unparalleled happiness – and she’s deepened the love between JP and I," she said.

Camilla has previously spoken about her desire to have another child with JP, but was dealt with more heartache when she had to have surgery to remove her ovaries.

"I resent cancer in some regards for stealing the opportunity to have another child and I didn't realise how much I wanted another one until I was told I probably can’t have another one," she revealed on Studio 10.

“But I also realise how bloody blessed I am to have one," she added.
