Lara reportedly passed away after a brief illness, barely two weeks after she and Teddy celebrated the arrival of their first child together.
Her family announced the heartbreaking news in a statement shared on her official Instagram page, describing her death as a devastating loss to her loved ones.
“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, Lara Kudayisi Don-Momoh.
“After a brief illness, Coach Lara passed away peacefully.”
The family appealed for privacy as they navigate the painful period, while also asking for prayers for strength and comfort.

Lara and Teddy had recently welcomed their child, a moment that brought joy to their family and attracted congratulatory messages from friends, colleagues and well-wishers on social media. Her sudden passing has turned what was a season of celebration into one of grief.
Teddy Don-Momoh was previously married to popular gospel singer Kefee, who died in June 2014 after complications from a lung-related illness. Kefee, known for her powerful voice and inspirational songs, was one of Nigeria’s most celebrated gospel artistes before her untimely death.
