Christian Oliver’s ex-wife grateful for ‘outpouring of love’ after death of actor, their young daughters
Jessica Klepser, the ex-wife of late actor Christian Oliver, has said that the “outpouring of love” she’s received after the tragic death of her ex-husband and their two young daughters last week has been “beyond words.”
The 51-year-old “Hunters” and “Speed Racer” actor died Thursday when the small plane they were in crashed into the ocean off a Caribbean island.
Oliver, whose real name is Christian Klepser, was with daughters Madita, 12, and Annik, 10, when they died alongside their pilot, Robert Sachs.
Taking to Instagram Monday, Klepser said her ex-husband and daughters are “all watching” her as she navigates the tragic loss.
“From those closest to my heart, from my community, from people far away, from complete strangers… I see the messages, I hear the words and it gives me so much strength,” her statement read.
“I also deeply feel Madita’s, Annik’s, and Christian’s love! They are here with me for every step and they are watching us.”
Klepser, who divorced Oliver in 2022, went on to urge her followers to “keep spreading love.”
“Hug your loved ones, tell them you love them, be kind to each other,” she continued. “And stop arguing and worrying about the small stuff. It’s not worth it. Life is too precious and we are all in this together.”
Last week, Klepser’s emotional statement was shared on Instagram by Wundabar Pilates’ page by Amy Jordan, the company’s owner.
Klepser serves as the regional manager of the company’s California branch.
Her poignant statement touched on how Oliver and his daughters were loved by their family, friends, and community members.
“I am blessed to have had Madita and Annik in our lives for many years, and cherish the memories of pool parties, sleepovers, school performances, and Disneyland trips to hold in my heart,” the statement read, in part.
“The deep bond, infectious laughter, and adventurous spirit shared by Madita and Annik will be profoundly missed in their communities.”
Oliver and his kids were being flown from the island of Bequia to St. Lucia when their single-engine plane “experienced difficulties and plummeted into the ocean.”
The Coast Guard recovered the bodies from the debris that fell into 70 feet of water.
