Charlbi Dean’s fiancé Luke Volker is thanking fans for their condolences after the 32-year-old actress/model’s sudden death.
Dean passed away Monday from an unexpected illness. On Wednesday, her model/artist fiancé shared a short video on his Instagram to show appreciation for messages he received after the news.
“Hi, everyone. I wanted to just post a picture of Charlbi, but it’s a bit hard,” began Volker, 26. “And just wanted to let you know I see all your messages, all the love, and I appreciate it. I really do. It’s just I can’t really reply to them right now. But thank you, guys. I appreciate it. I love you.”
In an April 8 Instagram post, Dean revealed that she and Volker got engaged in New York City. She wrote alongside photos from the proposal, which happened at the spot where they shared their first kiss.
When Dean had her breakout performance in the movie ‘Triangle of Sadness’, which won the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Volker expressed how proud he was of Dean on Instagram: “3 years later!! Against all odds, almost impossible obstacles, they pulled it off! The film is a masterpiece from top to bottom everyone did a spectacularly job getting it done. I couldn’t be more proud of you my love.”
For a birthday tribute to Volker back in January 2020, Dean called him “my favorite boyfriend ever hands down.” Later, for his birthday the following year, she wrote, “You’re my guy, thanks for the fun, adventures and the now. Also there are many fish in the sea but that could lead to ceviche plus only one dolphin as there is only one horse with a sword on its head,” including other inside jokes and personal photos and videos.
