Australian-American model and swimwear designer Sahara Ray lost her life at the young age of 34. Her family confirmed her death to TMZ on October 18, 2026. Tragically, Sahara passed away just a few months after she became the mother of a baby girl, Snow. When it comes to Sahara’s dating life, Justin Bieber is her most well-known ex-boyfriend, though she found love several more times.
One of Sahara Ray’s exes, Chris Miles, expressed grief over her passing with a heartfelt note. The duo was known for their wild relationship. From topless photos of her with him to the presence of nitrous oxide in their room, several controversial details about them have surfaced. Her final message to him before her death have also emerged.
Sahara Ray’s controversial topless photos with Chris Miles, featuring nitrous oxide, resurfaced after her death
Sahara Ray had a hard-partying lifestyle, and scrutiny over it, along with her life in general, may have led her to step away from the spotlight since late 2023. Earlier that year, in March, Sahara sparked a major controversy after she uploaded several Instagram photos of herself posing topless in bed while holding a prop assault rifle. Her rapper ex-boyfriend, Chris Miles, was seen squeezing her chin and cheeks while she posed unclothed.
What made the picture even more concerning was the presence of what appeared to be a canister of nitrous oxide, known as a ‘nang’ in Australia and a ‘whippet’ in the United States, in the room. The canister was spotted on a table by the bed. In another photo, Chris was seen licking the chin of the LA-based model. The photos concerned Sahara’s fans, who commented on the post to check if everything was fine with her.
One of them asked, “Girl…. u okay?” Another wrote, “This is weird,” and a third stated, “darling we can do better.” Some others wrote, “What in the Law & Order: SVU is happening here?!”, “CRINGE” and “Playing with guns isn’t sexy or fun or anything it’s just mental.” Another one inquired, “What happen to you?!” Besides the pictures, Sahara and Chris’ final text exchange has also surfaced.

Chris himself posted a screenshot of his last conversation with Sahara, but deleted it shortly after. They exchanged the texts just weeks before her death, on September 23, 2026. The message showcased an unusual conversation between lovers, who expressed how much they miss each other. He wrote, “thinkin bout u. hope u have a gr8 day ur doing amazing.”
She replied, “Thinking bout you too. I’m proud of the music your making. I hope have a great day.” Sahara’s message showed her supportive partner side towards Chris Miles. After her death, he shared the post in his Instagram Story and penned a poignant message for the deceased. He said that she had a kind heart but a “broken brain.” He added that she didn’t deserve “so much pain” and he apologized for her tragic fate. In his words:
“Damn bae. You were doing so good @Sahara_Ray. I love you in ever life. I can’t believe it wow WTF. Your soul was so pure but God gave you a broken brain. u didnt deserve to go thru so much pain. im so sorry. im so so so sorry. im sorry. damn bro wtf.”
Regarding Chris Miles (real name Christopher Miles Marshak), he rose to fame after his America’s Got Talent video went viral. The rapper was born on May 3, 1999, in Long Island, New York. While little is known about his personal life, he is known for tracks such as Dial Tone, 80 Bars, Nothing Feels the Same, and Miss Me.
Chris Miles and Sahara had coordinated tattoos. His tattoo read, “Sahara killed me,” while hers read, “Chris saved me.” Looking at their Instagram handle, it can be alleged that they were together around 2023. However, it seemed like they had ended things, as Sahara Ray went on to have a child with a mysterious man named Michael Bradley Dow in January 2026.
