The father of Sahara Ray’s daughter has reportedly been identified just days after the model’s shocking death at age 34.
The birth certificate of Snow Ray Dow, whom Ray welcomed in January, lists Michael Bradley Dow, 38, as his father, TMZ reported Tuesday, citing the document.
The Australian swimsuit entrepreneur had never publicly revealed the identity of her daughter’s father before his death on Sunday.
Snow was born at 12:19 a.m. Jan. 27 in a Los Angeles hospital, according to the outlet.
Ray, who was romantically involved with Justin Bieber in 2016, died Friday in a Los Angeles hospital surrounded by friends and relatives after suffering a fentanyl overdose, the Daily Mail reported.
She was rushed to hospital and placed on life support before her family finally decided to take her off on Sunday.
The official cause of death has not yet been released and it remains unclear whether the reported overdose was accidental.
The model introduced Snow to her social media followers in April, sharing a photo of her alongside Bieber’s 2025 hit “Everything Hallelujah.”
“Snow baby hallelujah,” she captioned the post.
Ray’s last social media post, shared in July, featured a series of photos of his daughter.
“All my heart 🤍 baby Snow,” she wrote.
Ray’s mother, Gretchen Bach, paid tribute to her daughter in a statement, remembering her as a “kind young lady.”
“Sahara was an incredibly passionate and kind young woman who loved her family, fashion, her daughter Snow and surfing,” Bach told the outlet.
“We feel the love pouring in from her dear friends, her fans and the many communities she was a part of around the world,” she added.
His younger sister, Ruby Ray, also paid tribute to her late brother on Tuesday, sharing a carousel of throwback photos on Instagram.
The daughter of legendary surfer Tony Ray had largely stayed out of the public eye in recent years.
His last known public appearance was in November 2023 at the Ashton Michael RTW+ 10-Year Anniversary Show, “Punk Tsugi”, in Los Angeles.
She attended the event alongside then-boyfriend Mod Sun and musician SIIICKBRAIN.
In April 2024, she revealed that she had been diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome after being hit by a car.
The autoimmune disease left her partially paralyzed and wheelchair-bound.
