Popular bodybuilder Jeff Nippard sadly announced Friday that his fianc\u00e9e, Stephanie Buttermore, has died. She was only 36 years old.<\/p>\n
Nippard, who has over 3.7 million followers on Instagram, released a statement about his fianc\u00e9e’s passing. As you’d imagine, he’s asking for privacy during this incredibly difficult time.<\/p>\n
“It is with profound sorrow that we share the sudden passing of Jeff’s fianc\u00e9e and partner of ten years, Stephanie. As many of you know, Stephanie meant the world to Jeff. She will be remembered for her warmth and compassion, her love for her family, and her PhD research on ovarian cancer,” a statement from Nippard’s team read<\/a>.<\/p>\n “We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this tragic loss. Thank you for your understanding and support during this difficult time.”<\/p>\n Buttermore’s cause of death has not been shared with the public at this time.<\/p>\n Nippard and Buttermore went public with their engagement in November 2022. They shared a few photos from that special day in their lives.<\/p>\n “6 years ago I slid in @stephanie_buttermore\u2019s DMs and we immediately formed a friendship. We started Skyping for 3-4 hours every day for about a month (no joke) until I went to visit her in Florida from Canada. Our first date was a shoulder workout and I will never forget it. We got along like best friends right away because we established a foundation of shared interests and values from the beginning,” Nippard wrote<\/a>. “Last month, I asked Steph to marry me and she said yes! It\u2019s been an amazing journey of growth and love. Can\u2019t wait for the next chapter together.”<\/p>\n We’re certainly keeping Buttermore’s loved ones in our thoughts.<\/p>\n This story was originally published by The Spun<\/a> on Mar 7, 2026, where it first appeared in the Trending<\/a> section.
