We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but we have ANOTHER disappearance to report!
Gospel singer Kelly Price has now been officially listed as a missing person with the National Crime Information Center. And once again, the last person known to have seen her was… her boyfriend.

The Georgia native revealed back on July 29 that she had contracted COVID, writing alongside a video addressing fans:
“I Am COVID Positive. I’m following Dr’s orders. I’m quarantined. Feeling really drained. Splitting headache but I’m not in the hospital. I’m grateful and expecting to have a quick recovery.”
Unfortunately, as it has for many, Kelly’s battle with coronavirus took a turn for the worse. Her family told TMZ that about a week after publishing that video she was hospitalized and eventually moved to the ICU to deal with her symptoms. There she was in contact with her family; her children say they visited her multiple times in early August.
Then something odd happened.
Three weeks after she was admitted, her family found she was unexpectedly gone from the hospital. The kids got a call telling them she had been discharged, which came as a shock — because she was still pretty sick last they saw her.
What’s worse is they haven’t heard from her since. (Nor has anyone else, as she has not posted on social media since that video in July.)

They explained to TMZ that her boyfriend is not allowing anyone to visit her at home either. If that isn’t suspicious af, we don’t know what is. Officials in Cobb County told the outlet a welfare check was performed last Saturday which led to Kelly being listed as a missing person. Which we guess means the BF didn’t let them see her either??
Kelly’s last publicly known boyfriend was a personal trainer named Terrell Babers. But the new boyfriend is someone else. And something else. As in, not her boyfriend but rather her fiancé as of earlier this year.
In an interview with Madame Noire in March, the Friend Of Mine singer teased that she was keeping her new man private — but confirmed they were moving to the next step:
“I’m actually engaged right now. I haven’t said anything much publicly yet but I’ve been with someone for about two years now… I intentionally kept it quiet because I told myself when it comes time to let the world know, I’ll let the world know exactly who that individual is.”
Well, now is the second-best time, gurl!
Hopefully someone will come forward with information soon. We just hope she’s OK.
