Was Ryan Channing’s Cause of Sudden Death Due to COVID-19?

We were informed on May 11, 2022, that the skincare entrepreneur who was an ex-partner of Australian swimming legend Ian Thorpe had passed away. It’s believed that Ryan Channing’s cause of death was due to health issues.

Must be noted that the US day News does not confirm nor reject any of this information. Just in case you read incorrect details, please, allow us to know.

Born in 1990, in Sydney, Ryan Channing was a successful Skintrepeneur and web star. The popular American model and creator of the skincare brand Blaq attracted much attention as the ex-boyfriend of Ian Thorpe.

They split in 2019 after considering having a child together, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Ryan shared he was filming a pilot for a new reality TV show, called The Skintrepeneurs, with Netflix in LA in July last year.

The 39-year-old Thorpe dated Channing for four years. He’s known to be Thorpe’s first public boyfriend after he came out as gay. Before breaking up, Channing once shared that becoming parents is something that they both would love to make happen.

What stands in their way was that the laws in Australia are difficult for same-sex males in regards to surrogacy as California state law has really progressed in this space which makes it the best option legally.

He expressed: Something I would love to see progress further in Australia so same-sex couples don’t have to travel abroad to achieve their family goals.” It took almost a year after their split when Channing revealed he was engaged to engineer Leevon Baptiste.

For those who may wonder, Ryan had an estimated net worth of $10 million. As it’s told, he was trained as a lawyer before becoming a model. Also, he campaigned for marriage equality in Australia with Thorpe.
