The couple was previously rumored to have had together one-year-old daughter, Krishna, who was born in February 2010. However, intense media speculation surrounding her birth eventually revealed that venture capitalist Adam Dell was indeed the father and not Forstmann.

In the past Forstmann was also linked by some media outlets as in a relationship with Britain’s Princess Diana, however, those reports were never confirmed.

Forstmann will be remembered as an astute businessman, being connected with companies such as Dr. Pepper and Gulfstream Aerospace.

He leaves behind two sons, Siya and Everest.
