This is the first time Rochelle has posted about her late friend.
However, at the beginning of 2022, Rochelle discussed "finding her feet" after losing a "loved one".
During a family holiday the former singer, who shares three children with her husband Marvin Humes, revealed she was grieving someone.
Opening up to her Instagram followers Rochelle, who is mum to Alaia-Mai, nine, Valentina, six, and two-year-old Blake, wrote: "I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year.. Thank you for all of your messages, I know I’ve been quiet. Losing a loved one is never easy, so I’m trying to find my feet whilst holding my little family close and making some more memories."
She then shared a heartfelt quote about losing someone special.
It read: "Although the world keeps turning and the sun comes up each day. Life has never been the same, since you were called away.

"You were such a special person, so gentle, good and kind and have left the sweetest memories and thoughts of you behind. I only wish there was a way, that I could see you one more time, to thank you for the joy you bought, into this life of mine."
Rochelle's tattoo post comes after she candidly discussed her difficulties over not having a relationship with her biological father.

"She was more than two parents in one. It taught me what I want in a partner and who I want for a dad for my children.
"It gave me more clarity."
Rochelle confessed she finds it hard when JLS singer Marvin, 37, is praised – because good mums should be recognised too.
She added: "I’m so grateful – but in all honestly I have a weird relationship with that. My mum will say to me, 'Oh my God you’re so lucky... He’s such a good dad'."
