Who is Tori Kelly married to?

Tori was born on December 14, 1992, in Wildomar, California, United States to parents Allwyn Kelly, and Laura Kelly.

Breaking onto the scene around 2013 with her track “Fill a Heart,” Tori quickly rose through the ranks of the industry and became a bonafide star (with Grammy wins to boot!). However, for as much as fans may know about Tori the musician, her private life often remains just that: private. So, who is Tori married to, and what are the other details of her personal life? Keep reading to find out!

Who is Tori Kelly’s husband? The singer-songwriter has been married to André Murillo for more than 5 years. They tied the knot on May 20, 2018, and they have been happily married ever since.

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known & not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known & truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God,” Kelly captioned a wedding portrait, quoting the American theologian Tim Keller.

Kelly, who wore a custom pale ivory bridal gown by Galia Lahav, added, “thank you to everyone who made this the most magical day ever. i’m floating. brb.”

The couple began dating in 2016 and have been notoriously quiet about their love lives ever since, but that doesn’t mean their relationship isn’t going strong! André’s proposal to Tori was picturesque, and even their wedding, on the sun-soaked cliffs of California, was something out of a fairytale.

A huge fan of Lord of the Rings and a fervent follower of his religion, he and Tori have built a relationship based on trust and a mutual understanding of faith.

Who is André Murillo?

André Murillo is a basketball player by profession but best known as the spouse of singer, actress, and songwriter, Tori Kelly.

He was born on May 18, 1990, in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Despite being a German, he attended school in the United States. After graduating in 2008, he attended college at Concordia University Irvine, before attending Biola University, a private Christian university located in Southern California. Per his bio on the school’s website, he majored in Biblical studies “with the goal of entering a career in ministry and playing professional basketball.” 

Murillo played varsity on his high school’s basketball team, where he was named the team MVP and Sea View League MVP, per his bio on Biola University’s website. After playing basketball in college, he played for the Hamburg Towers and the Rostock Seawolves in Germany. 

Following an injury that prevented him from playing the sport, he announced his retirement from basketball in 2019. 

He’s super supportive of Tori Kelly’s career 

Upon the release of her single “missin u” in March, Kelly spoke to PEOPLE about her relationship with Murillo. “He’s the best. He’s the most supportive,” she said of her husband. “It’s been awesome to have him.”

She also opened up about how he’s been championing her latest foray into a Y2K-inspired sound: “I’ll ask him what he thinks about things and get his opinion on stuff. He grew up on ’90s R&B, so he’s super stoked about all the new stuff.”

Does Tori Kelly have any children? Surprisingly, Tori and her husband Andre do not have any kids together (yet!).

Although they’ve been happily married for going on six years now, Tori and André are very happy taking things slow, and that applies to the notion of having children as well.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the duo spoke to People about how quarantining together brought them closer to each other and shared their thoughts on potentially having kids in the future.

“We’ve talked about kids, of course. And it’s something that would be, I think so special at some point, whenever we decide,” she explained to the publication. “But we’re not in any rush. I think we’re just enjoying being together as a couple and we have our two little dog babies. So that’s keeping us busy for now.”

Tori Kelly thanks her fans and family for their prayers as she announces she’s doing well since being treated for blood clots at a Los Angeles hospital after collapsing while at dinner with friends.

The “Nobody Love” singer has taken to Instagram to share how she is doing after being admitted to a Los Angeles hospital for blood clots on July 23.

“As you may have heard, I’m dealing with some unexpected health challenges,” Tori began her July 27 message. “It’s been a scary few days but I can feel your prayers & can’t stop thinking about you. I’m feeling stronger now & hopeful but unfortunately there are still some things to uncover.”

She went on to note that she’s grateful for the doctors and nurses that are looking after her.

“Of course I’m heartbroken about all of the things I had planned this week of releasing my EP, but I know my health must come first,” the artist, who is set to drop tori on July 28, continued. “Until I see you again, I still want you to enjoy a project that represents the happy place I’ve been in the last few years. I won’t let this hurdle prevent the music from being yours on Friday!”

Tori concluded her post by thanking her supporters for all of the love she’s received in the last few days.

A day before Tori’s comments, her husband André Murillo also updated followers on the 30-year-old’s health.

“Tori is smiling again and feeling stronger,” he said on his Instagram Story on July 26. “Not fully out of the woods but we see the sun. Just waiting on a few more answers.”

Giving a nod to Tori’s fans, André added, “Your love and kindness has been overwhelming. Thank you so much!”

After news broke of his wife’s medical emergency, André, 33, posted a clip on his Instagram Story of Kelly singing “Where Do I Fit In,” the 2021 track she recorded with Justin Bieber and Chandler Moore.

In the clip, Tori belts the lyrics, “When I’m all alone and fear is all I see / Sitting in the silence with these insecurities. And then you remind me, you’re holding me tight / And you love me completely, you’re always by my side.”
