On Tuesday, Murillo took to his Instagram Story to post a video from Kelly’s 2021 collaboration with Justin Bieber titled “Where Do I Fit In.” Featuring Judah Smith and Chandler Moore, “Where Do I Fit In” appeared on Bieber’s gospel-inspired album EP “Freedom.”
In the video that Murrillo shared, Kelly sang verses about overcoming times of fear and loneliness by leaning on God.
“When I’m all alone and fear is all I see / Sittin’ in the silence with these insecurities / And then you remind me, you’re holdin’ me tight / And you love me completely, you’re always by my side,” Kelly sang.
Kelly and Murillo began dating in 2016 before announcing their engagement a year later. The pair tied the knot in May 2018.

“He’s the best,” Kelly told People magazine of Murillo in June 2019. “Once you have your person, it’s like, we’re together for real now. Then you just get to learn about each other and see the not so pretty parts of a person.”
She continued, “I think I’ve learned a lot about myself too, and what I need to work on. It has forced me to look inward, so it’s overall just growth.”
