It is never easy to work through grief and loss — especially as major as losing multiple loved ones. But, having a strong partner by your side supporting you can make a huge difference.
Todd Fisher, brother to the late Carrie Fisher, said that Taylor Lauter is doing just that in being a "spectacular" partner to Billie Lourd in the wake of her mother and grandmother's deaths. He called Lautner's support "amazing" in an interview with E! News Monday.
Fisher admitted he was skeptical of Lautner when they initially began dating, but that seeing how Lautner has been there for Lourd like "a husband would," has showed him Lautner's true colors.
"The truth of the matter is, the guy is pretty spectacular," Fisher told E!. "He's a really deep person, and he has supported her amazingly. He's stepped up and acted like a husband would act. Not that that's what's going on, but it's just an amazing support system for her, and I'm glad he's in her life. That's not easy for me to say, if you think about it!"
Fisher also shared that Lourd's grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, left behind letters for he and Carrie Fisher to open in the event of her passing. He said that he passed Carrie's letters onto Lourd to read and that they're special mementos for both of them.
"She and I are the last of the Mohicans, so to speak, so we've been exchanging a lot of things like that," he told E!.
"The cool thing is I can turn it around and say, 'Here, Billie, look at this beautiful note from your grandmother,'" Fisher said. "So there's a beautiful side to life. It is part of life, but it's also heartbreaking at the same time."
