Los Angeles, CA – The murder of Celeste Rivas Hernandez has shaken Hollywood and beyond. The discovery of the 17-year-old’s body in the trunk of rising music star D4vd’s car has ignited a storm of horror, speculation, and outrage. But perhaps the most haunting reaction came from her teenage ex-boyfriend, who admits his first thought upon hearing the news was: “It has to be her.”
In an exclusive interview with TMZ, 15-year-old Damien Hernandez—a California teen who dated Celeste before she ran away to Los Angeles—recounted the moment he realized his ex-girlfriend’s name was splashed across national headlines.
“I saw the news that a body was found in his car,” Damien said, his voice trembling. “The first thing I thought was… what if it’s Celeste? And then, when I found out it really was… it broke me.”
Damien described Celeste as a vibrant, joking, happy girl when they were together in middle school. “She was kind, she was funny. We started talking when I was in eighth grade and she was in seventh,” he recalled. “We were serious, even if people thought it was just kids’ stuff.”
But behind the laughter, he said, Celeste was carrying pain. “She told me a lot about her family problems,” Damien revealed. “She said her parents didn’t really treat her well, like they didn’t care. She was unhappy at home. I think she was running away from her family as much as running to her new boyfriend.”
That “new boyfriend” was none other than D4vd, the much older internet music sensation whose rapid rise in the industry drew Celeste into his world of fame, fortune, and, ultimately, scandal.
Friends say Celeste’s relationship with D4vd was intoxicating at first—a golden ticket to escape the turmoil of her home life. But critics now argue it may have been the beginning of her downfall.
Damien remembers the last time he saw Celeste clearly: gym class at school. “She told me she was running away. I thought she was joking. She was laughing, smiling, like she always did. But now… I think she meant it.”
Then came the breaking news: police had discovered a body in D4vd’s car. Damien’s stomach sank. “Right away I felt it was her. I didn’t want to believe it, but deep down I knew.”
Hours later, his worst fears were confirmed. The body was Celeste’s. She would have turned 16 this September.
The shocking revelation has left her community in disbelief. Parents are questioning how a teenager slipped so far out of reach, while critics demand answers about the music industry’s responsibility when minors become entangled with older stars.
For Damien, though, the tragedy is deeply personal. “She deserved better,” he said quietly. “She just wanted to be happy. And now she’s gone.”
As investigators unravel how Celeste’s bright young life ended inside the trunk of a car, the world is left with one devastating truth: her dreams of escape ended in the darkest way imaginable.
