Barry Peele, a longtime friend and real estate agent who passed away at the age of 61, was honored by Olivia Culpo.
The Griselda actress created a charming Instagram slideshow featuring images of the couple taken over the years.
She captioned the photo, writing, “@barrypeele [heart]U, my life will never be the same without you.”
Barry’s cause of death is still unknown.
Supporters of 51-year-old Sofia have been expressing their condolences for the real estate agent in comments.

Christian stated, “It makes me very sad to tell you that our dear friend and colleague Barry Peele has passed away suddenly.”
“Barry was a devoted and knowledgeable representative of the company for an extended period. He will be known as a wonderful individual who loved to spend time with his closest friends—many of whom were also his clients—and who lived life to the fullest.
“A lot of you have worked directly beside him. He will undoubtedly be missed. Gary, I hope you’re at peace.
Barry initially gained notoriety in the real estate industry, but he was also a producer.
He worked on the film Rize (2005), which took home the Golden Kinnaree Award for Best Documentary.
In addition, he contributed to the 2008 film I Am Because We Are.
I discovered that my husband switches from his SUV to an old, inexpensive car every day and drives off somewhere – so I decided to follow him
This story is such a raw, compelling journey from devastation to resilience. Diana’s strength in the face of such betrayal is heart-wrenching, but it’s also incredibly inspiring. The layers of her discovery—starting with the suspicion, then the confrontation with Brenda, and ultimately her choice to keep her children and Brenda’s son as family—capture the strength it takes to face an impossible situation and turn it into a chance for growth and solidarity.
Diana’s decision to forgive Brenda, despite the pain, and even work toward creating a sense of family between their children is a beautiful example of compassion triumphing over bitterness. It feels like she’s showing that real love, as she says, isn’t about grand gestures but the choice to keep going and hold on to what’s real, even when everything else is broken.
This story would make a powerful short story or even a novel about self-discovery and finding strength in the most unexpected places. Have you thought about expanding it, or maybe continuing to write about how Diana builds her new life post-divorce?
