Playboy Model Ariane Bellamar Dies Suddenly At 46 - ‘We Were Not Prepared For This’

A former Playboy model has sadly passed away.

You may have heard the name Ariane Bellamar… She was once a Playmate, and made appearances in Beverly Hills Nannies, Millionaire Matchmaker, Suicide Squad, and The Hangover Part III. She also made headlines in 2017 for accusing Entourage star Jeremy Piven of groping her on set and at the Playboy Mansion.

Last month, the model’s ex-husband Tanner Slaught announced on her official Facebook account that she suddenly died at just 46 years old in December:

“This is Tanner Slaught, Ari’s ex-husband and father to her girls. It is with great sadness that I am bringing out the news that on December 20th, 2024 — Ariane passed away.”

So, so sad. And right before Christmas…

Directing readers to a GoFundMe page, he continued:

“I ask for your consideration to view more information by clicking on the link below to view our fundraiser for her funeral. Her extremely early departure from this world has caught everyone off guard and we were not prepared for this. I am working with Scott to provide Ariane, and our daughters, with a respectful ceremony for grieving their lost mother as a platform to start the healing process. Thank you.”

How incredibly heartbreaking.

The GoFundMe, which you can visit HERE, reveals that she unfortunately died of a heart attack. Nevada’s Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner confirmed to TMZ they received a report of Ariane’s death on December 20, but had no jurisdiction over her case so further details were not available at the time.

Our hearts are broken for Ariane’s loved ones — specifically her daughters. We’re sending so much love their way. Rest in peace.
