According to Billy’s mom Nonnie’s Facebook post, Billy and Natalie encountered a dangerous virus after eating raw oysters at a restaurant.
She posted,
Just want to take a moment to thank everyone for all the prayers for My family for the pat 2 weeks Been a very hard time. Natalie lost her life and Billy was very close to d*ath. In ICU for 8 days.
The duo was sick for over two weeks, and reportedly, Natalie lost her battle with the virus on July 2 or July 3, as evidenced by the condolences expressed by her friends.

Billy Leblanc Had Three Children From His Ex-Wife, Katie Leblanc
Billy met Katie while working at the Blockbuster store, and he proposed to her to be his future wife.
They were married for nearly 18 years and had three children: two daughters, Jules and Haylay, and a son, Caleb.
Caleb was born in July 2002, which means that the couple tied the knot sometime before this, most likely in 2001.
Caleb had gained fame as one of the oldest siblings who ran the YouTube channel Bratayley. Unfortunately, he passed away in 2015 at the young age of 13.
His loss scarred both Billy and Katie, and ultimately, they officially divorced after 4 years in 2019.
