Cori Broadus Marks Late Daughter Codi’s First Birthday With Intimate Tribute

The tribute extends a public grieving process following Codi’s January death after a premature birth.

Overview

  • Broadus shared an Instagram video Tuesday that recapped a graveside balloon release and a small boat gathering to honor what would have been Codi’s first birthday.
  • Her daughter died in late January at 10 months old after being born three months early and spending months in the neonatal intensive care unit, which treats very sick newborns.
  • Codi had briefly come home in January before her death, based on earlier posts where Broadus thanked supporters and said her baby was finally out of the hospital.
  • The family also held a memorial service in early February, as Broadus and fiancé Wayne Deuce posted photos and messages, and Snoop Dogg signaled support with a family photo on Instagram.
  • People and Us Weekly focused on the birthday tribute and memorial images, while WBLS emphasized the medical timeline, reflecting how a celebrity family’s Instagram posts are shaping public mourning.
