Tabby Brown, the ex-girlfriend of Chelsea footballer Raheem Sterling and former Playboy model, has passed away at the age of 38.
The model and dancer, who was raised in South London, was also romantically involved with footballer Mario Balotelli.
Prior to her demise, she was associated with Playboy and appeared on Channel 5’s reality dating show, The Bachelor. She also featured in major ad campaigns for Canon, Virgin Atlantic, Lynx, and AXE.
Reportedly, Brown had a luxurious stay at a hotel in Manchester with Raheem Sterling, who is now in a relationship with Paige Milian, back in March 2016.
The model had a seven-month relationship with Italian footballer Mario Balotelli after their initial meeting in 2011.
Speaking to The Mirror in 2013, she stated: ‘I really fell for Mario – against my better judgment.
‘He told me he wanted us to settle down and have a family. Then I found out he was having a baby with his ex, there were constant stories about him partying with other women, and all the “she’s just a friend” texts.
‘So I ended it in November. Mario couldn’t believe it and thought he could sweet-talk me into going back to him.
‘When he realized there was no chance, he took it very badly. But that’s because Mario has never been dumped by a woman before. He’s used to getting exactly what he wants.’
