Playboy model and reality TV personality Ariane Bellamar has passed away at the age of 46. TMZ has learned that Bellamar died in December 2024, with reports confirming her passing on December 20.
The Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner in Nevada acknowledged receiving the report of her death, but since they did not have jurisdiction over the case, no further details were provided.
Her cause of death was later revealed to be a heart attack, according to a GoFundMe campaign set up by her ex-husband, Tanner Slaught, who was raising funds for her funeral expenses.
Born in Florida and raised in Toronto, Canada, Bellamar made a name for herself in the entertainment world, primarily as a Playboy model. However, she also gained recognition through her appearances on reality television and in Hollywood films.
She starred in Beverly Hills Nannies, an ABC Family reality show that followed the lives of elite nannies working for wealthy families in Los Angeles. Bellamar also appeared on The Millionaire Matchmaker, Bravo’s former dating show that sought to pair successful, wealthy individuals with potential romantic partners.
Beyond reality television, she had small roles in major motion pictures, including Suicide Squad and The Hangover Part III, both of which were box office hits. While her film roles were minor, they contributed to her growing public profile.
She was also briefly involved with HBO’s hit series Entourage, appearing as an extra on the show. However, in 2017, Bellamar made headlines when she publicly accused Entourage star Jeremy Piven of sexual harassment.
She alleged that Piven had groped her on the set of the show as well as at the Playboy Mansion. Piven denied the allegations, and the controversy became a widely discussed topic at the time.
Despite the challenges she faced, Bellamar remained a public figure who was known for her glamorous image and outspoken personality.
Her sudden passing at 46 has shocked many who followed her career, particularly within the Playboy and reality TV communities.
While details surrounding her final days remain unclear, her ex-husband’s fundraising efforts suggest that her passing may have been unexpected and that her family is seeking support in covering the costs of her funeral.
Bellamar’s death is a reminder of the unpredictable nature of life, and her contributions to the entertainment world will not be forgotten. As a model, actress, and reality TV personality, she left an impression on those who followed her career.
She is survived by her loved ones, who are mourning her loss and remembering the life she lived.
Rest in peace, Ariane Bellamar.
