Dave Hollis, the ex-husband of lifestyle influence Rachel Hollis, died over the weekend at the age of 47.
Hollis’ departure was publicly announced yesterday. Although no official cause of death has been announced, Hollis was hospitalized after struggling with heart problems. He died at his home in Texas.
Rachel Hollis acknowledged her ex-husband’s passing on Instagram yesterday. She did not explicitly state her departure but detailed how she and the four children she shares with Dave, are faring.
“We are devastated,” Hollis, 40, wrote in a text post. “I have no words and my heart is too broken to find one. Please wrap the children in prayer as we try and navigate through the unthinkable.”
The couple divorced in 2020 after 16 years of marriage.
Dave And Rachel Hollis’ Marriage Is In Focus, Right Before Divorce
The Hollises produce lifestyle-oriented content; Dave’s role will increase in his ex-wife’s brand as the two rebrand Rachel’s lifestyle company, founded in 2013, to further reflect Dave’s role in their content.
Dave and Rachel will produce marriage-related podcasts and hold weekend conferences tailored for those interested in improving their marriages. Admission to the couple’s “Rise Together” conference cost nearly $2,000, with a price tag of $1,795.
Rachel’s books, “Girl, Wash Your Face,” and “Girl, Stop Apologizing,” have received criticism for their perceived messages; critics will call out Hollis for her desire to convey the idea that anyone can rise from adversity with nothing more than sheer determination, as well as her insistence that women, especially mothers, are responsible for their own happiness.
He would also receive widespread criticism after posting a TikTok satirizing him and his unrelatable lifestyle. Hollis would also take heat for reducing her housekeeper’s duties to “cleaning toilets.”
When called out for his perceived sense of privilege by a follower, Hollis replied, “No, bro, literally everything I’ve done in my life is to live a life that most people can’t relate to. Literally every woman I admire in history is unrelatable, “including Harriet Tubman, and Oprah Winfrey for example.” He would later apologize for TikTok, after losing a large number of followers on his once booming Instagram platform.

Dave is the author of two self-help books, and most recently a children’s book.
Hollis Instagram Followers Condolences on Dave’s Passing
Hollis’ Instagram comments for her post commemorating her ex-husband’s death are now muted; fans would send a text message Hollis made in December to offer condolences on Dave’s passing.
“Thinking of you and your kids- so sorry about Dave,” one fan wrote, “Sending you soft hugs and lots of love as you navigate your grief and new reality.”
“Praying for you and your beautiful children,” another fan commented.
“So very sorry for your loss. I watch you and Dave every morning on IG,” one fan wrote to Hollis, “I started my affirmations and journaling because of you- this was after my Ovarian Cancer surgery. What a journey you two have been on. Hug the babies tightly, mother. So sorry for the loss.”
“Rest Dave, what a loss these kids are,” another follower commented.
“Speaking of your ex, I’m so sorry to hear about Dave Hollis’ passing. May he rest in peace. My condolences to you and your beautiful children. Praying for you all,” one follower told Hollis.
Hollis will commemorate the couple’s 2020 divorce with an Instagram post.
“We started as best friends 18 years ago and the truth is, our core friendship and the part of us that works well, has been a band aid for the part of us that doesn’t,” Hollis wrote in the post. . “We have worked non-stop for the past three years to make this work and have come to the conclusion that it is healthier and more respectful for us to choose this as the end of our journey as a married couple. We remain dear friends as we raise our family as co-parents and run our company as partners. We chose joy- even though, I’ll be honest, the last month was one of the most horrible of our lives. I want to be strong and brave and optimistic for you right now, but every ounce of my energy is to be that for my kids…” Hollis continued.
Hollis is about to release a third book, published three months after announcing her divorce, called “Didn’t See It Coming.”
