In the months before her death aboard a yacht in Montauk, New York, swimwear designer Martha Nolan-O'Slatarra had recently finalized a divorce and previously resolved a legal dispute tied to her business dealings.

According to documents processed by the New York County Supreme Court, viewed by Fox News Digital, the 33-year-old designer was in the midst of an uncontested divorce from her husband, Sam Ryan, as recently as April 8, 2025.

The filings include a separation agreement, affidavits from both parties, and a certificate of dissolution, signaling that the couple’s marriage had officially ended just months prior to her untimely death on Aug. 5.

Nolan-O'Slatarra was found dead aboard a docked yacht in the early hours of Tuesday. Despite efforts by good Samaritans to perform CPR, she was pronounced dead on the yacht.

The fashion entrepreneur, originally from Ireland, known for her high-end bikini brand and infectious social media presence, was in a new romantic relationship, according to Extra.ie. She was reportedly engaged to marry her boyfriend.

Her boyfriend, as reported by the Irish Independent, was not on board the 54-foot SeaRay named Ripple on the night of her death and she had texted him that she would "Uber home" following what was described as a business outing.

The boat’s owner, described by Extra.ie as being in his 60s, was reportedly found alone and naked with Nolan-O'Slatarra when authorities responded.

How hard is it to design a bikini? You have two boobs and a penis.

For wimmin, two band-aids and a cork would um, cover all the bases...

You know, sometimes you can just look at them and see they are trouble.

Like that would stop you, or me...

Could very well be. Combined with prior alcohol drinking.

What the hell are they posing in front of? A wall full of bronze skulls and a portrait of a cyclops?

And what is dude wearing on his left wrist? A Taylor Swift friendship bracelet?

I can’t find the video, but I saw Bill O’Reilly reacting to the SBC/Eminem MTV video. He was in tears, laughing.

“Irish Bikini Designer”

As an Irishman and Norwegian, Have to say this is probably the first and only time I’ll ever see that phrase.

Up there with “German Humorist and Poet”, “Scottish Philanthropist”, “renowned English dentist,” and “Michelin Starred Welsh Chef”, and “Norwegian relationship expert”.

Why hasn’t this guy been identified?

“...based in Manhattan, New York.”

That alone tells us all we need to know. Hot as she was, she was an idiot.

What’s with the skulls?

That would be a red flag for me.

I guess I’m an intolerant philistine when it comes to “art”.

So was Natalie Wood.

She also most likely fell off her boat anchored off Catalina Island because she was drunk.
Either that or Robert Wagner killed her.
However, considering there was NO proof, she most likely slipped and fell into the water and drowned. Same as this bimbo.

News Flash, DRUNK people fall off boats in the summer ALL THE TIME. It happened to a buddy of my father in law in Camden, ME. In the harbor less than 30’ from shore. On a clear summer night in August. He stayed at the bar for ONE more drink. The other two guys went back to the boat. He was found floating in the water in the morning. They figured he slipped getting into the dingy tied to the dock.
