Tributes for the model have poured in from friends on social media, with musician NayNay writing: "What a light u were, Your outer exterior matched your insides, so beautiful. I'm genuinely shocked and saddened you're gone. Rest in eternal peace Tabby." Former The Only Way Is Essex star Vas J Morgan wrote: "My heart is broken."
Tabby also appeared on Channel 5's 'The Bachelor', had a masters degree in marketing and was well known in the music industry, making appearances in music videos for for the likes of Snoop Dogg, B.O.B and Dizzee Rascal. According the the Mirror, Brown is said to have met Balotelli at a nightclub in 2011 before they went on to find love.
However, their romance was short-lived and they split seven months later. Later she was spotted with Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling in 2016.
While both Sterling and Tabby kept quiet about their relationship, she previously opened up to the Mirror about her love life with Balotelli.
Speaking in 2013, she told the paper: "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 realised 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."
