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.

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

Pretty girl. Very sad for her family. Don’t do drugs, kids.
(Yes, I’ll jump to that conclusion. It’s the Hamptons. It’s the summer. It’s on boat. She looks like a party girl. If she was NOT doing drugs, *that* would be shocking).

Mitchell: ‘Well, you know...skulls... the connotations are pretty much all negative: death, cannibals, beheading... erm... pirates...’

Webb: ‘Pirates are fun!’

Mitchell: ‘I didn’t say we weren’t fun, but fun or not, pirates are still the baddies.’

That see-through design might have been the last straw for somebody.
