"It is with great sadness that my brother John and I announce the passing of our Mother Nancy Dow. She was 79 years old and passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends after enduring a long illness. We ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we grieve our loss.”

Jennifer previously admitted that she had a difficult relationship with her mother, but in recent years the pair have become close again:

"She was critical. She was very critical of me. Because she was a model, she was gorgeous, stunning. I wasn’t. I never was. But what’s the point of holding on to [anger]? That’s so toxic."

We hope Jennifer and her family are OK.
