As longtime Hallmark star Brennan Elliott marked his first Father’s Day as a single dad, following the passing of his wife, Camilla Row, fans flooded him with compliments and encouragement on June 15, 2025.
After a brave eight-year battle with gastric cancer, Row died on March 22, leaving behind Elliott and their kids, 12-year-old Liam and 10-year-old Luna. The family is slowly adjusting to their new normal, and Elliott is beginning to explore returning to the work he loves.
Ahead of Father’s Day weekend, Elliott shared an Instagram selfie celebrating fatherhood and men who are committed to being good dads. In his June 13 post, he wrote, “Huge shout out to all the dads out there!!! Hardest job in the world boys but kudos to YOU! #happyfathersday love your babies and so proud of any dad who puts in the effort! U deserve your day!! THANKYOU for being you and giving love as a dad!! 🍻”
Andrew Walker Calls Brennan Elliott ‘Super Dad’ in Sweet Comment
Elliott, who’s starred in more than 20 Hallmark movies and the Hallmark series “Cedar Cove,” heard from many followers who flooded his June 13 post with thoughtfulness as he navigates his first Father’s Day as a single dad.
One wrote, “I keep you and your kids in my prayers! I know that your beautiful wife is smiling down on you and your kids! I wish you a very blessed Happy Father’s Day to a beautiful human being! ❤️🙏🏻”
Another commented, “How are you doing? It must have given Cami such peace knowing what a great dad you would always be to your sweet children.”
“God bless you Brennan,” someone else wrote. “Know she is close♥️”
Even fellow Hallmark star Andrew Walker weighed in, writing, “Happy Father’s Day brother. You’re super dad. 💙”
Brennan Elliott Hopes to Make ‘Many, Many More’ Movies With Hallmark As He Adjusts to New Normal

Nearly three months after Row’s passing, Elliott and his kids are slowly adjusting to their new normal. He has periodically shared updates, including a since-deleted photo of himself smiling with his arms around Liam and Luna, which he captioned, “Happy place! Period! Happy Saturday everyone!”
He also told fans in late May that he was prioritizing self-care, working out weekly with a trainer.
Elliott is also dipping his toe back into work, committing to two upcoming fan conventions in December. He’ll join many of his Hallmark colleagues at Christmas Con in New Jersey and was just announced as one of the stars to appear during the second weekend of the Hallmark Christmas Experience in Kansas City.
Meanwhile, when a fan asked him on Instagram whether he has any new Hallmark movies planned, Brennan answered on June 2, “that’s up to @hallmarkchannel but would love too. Always love making movies for them and would love to make many many more”
