The father of 34-year-old Sahara Ray has been confirmed just days after her daughter’s shocking death, according to reports.
Snow Ray Dow, who was born in January, was listed as Michael Bradley Dow, 38, TMZ reported on Tuesday, citing the document.
The Australian swimwear entrepreneur had never publicly revealed the identity of her daughter’s father before his death on Sunday.
According to reports, Snow was born at 12:19 a.m. on January 27 in a Los Angeles hospital.
Ray, who was romantically involved with Justin Bieber in 2016, died of a fentanyl overdose in a Los Angeles hospital on Friday, surrounded by friends and loved ones, the Daily Mail reported.
She was rushed to hospital and placed on life support until her family finally decided to take her off life support on Sunday.
The official cause of death has not yet been announced, and it is unclear whether the reported overdose was accidental.
In April, the model introduced Snow to her social media followers and shared a photo of herself with Bieber’s 2025 hit “Everything Hallelujah.”
“Baby snow hallelujah,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
Rae’s last social media post in July featured a series of photos of her daughter.
“My whole heart 🤍baby Snow,” she wrote.
Ray’s mother, Gretchen Bach, paid tribute to her daughter in a statement, recalling her as a “kind young woman.”
“Sahara was a very passionate and kind young woman who loved her family, fashion, her daughter Snow and surfing,” Bach told the outlet.
“We feel the outpouring of love from her cherished friends, fans and her many communities around the world,” she added.
Her sister Ruby Ray also shared a series of throwback photos on Instagram on Tuesday in honor of her late brother.
The daughter of legendary surfer Tony Ray has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years.
Her last public appearance was in November 2023 at the Ashton Michael RTW+ 10th Anniversary Show “Punk Tsugi” in Los Angeles.
She attended the event with her then-boyfriend Mod Sun and musician SIIICKBRAIN.
In April 2024, she revealed that she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome after being hit by a car.
The autoimmune disease left her partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.
