Jock Zonfrillo’s heartbroken widow Lauren Fried is doing her best to keep the celebrity chef’s memory alive for the sake of their children.
The MasterChef Australia judge was found dead in his hotel room in Melbourne on April 30, and was laid to rest at an intimate funeral in Sydney in May.
On Monday, Lauren took their young son Alife, six, to the barber to get a haircut followed by a gelato, a routine Jock usually shared with his young son.
Lauren, who shares little Alife and Isla, two, with Jock, said their son requested a day out to do ‘papa activities’.
Underneath a collage of pictures shared on Jock’s Instagram account, Lauren wrote: ‘Alfie has asked me to do some of his Papa activities with him – making crepes and doing hours of Lego were in his requests.’

‘I went with the easiest option of a trip to the barber, which the boys used to do together, followed by gelato.
‘It put a smile on his face, which was beautiful.’
Underneath, fans and friends were quick to praise Lauren for being so strong through such a difficult time.

Last month, Lauren shared a heartbreaking post from the time Jock proposed to her in the Scottish Highlands.
‘This week seven years ago, up in the Scottish Highlands, Jock asked me to marry him,’ she wrote at the time.
‘He took me on a 4WD adventure from Loch Lomond, up some hectic winding roads, to the top of a windy mountain.

‘Down on one knee he asked that we give our future children the opportunity to love and enjoy Scotland as we did, he also proclaimed that he loved me more than Tunnocks Caramel Logs (which is a lot!)’.
Jock died in his hotel room at Zagame’s House on Lygon Street in Carlton, Melbourne on April 30 and was found by police at about 2am on Monday, May 1 – the same day Channel Ten was meant to premiere the fifteenth season of MasterChef Australia.
He is survived by his third wife Lauren, and his four children: grown-up daughters Ava and Sophia from his first two marriages and Alfie and Isla with Lauren.
The media personality was scheduled for several publicity engagements for season 15 of MasterChef when he died suddenly.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that when the police entered the hotel room to conduct a welfare check, officers believed that Jock had died of natural causes and didn’t find anything that suggested otherwise.
There was also no drug paraphernalia found in the hotel room, sources said.
A heartbroken Lauren said at his funeral: ‘We were two halves that found each other in the exact right moment in life when we were ready.’
‘We were ready for that big love, to live a life of adventure, to become parents together, to imagine things and to actually make them happen.’
