Melanie Martinez is remembering her ex-boyfriend Oliver Tree.
The musician, whose legal name was Oliver Tree Nickell, died at the age of 32 on Sunday, June 14 following a helicopter crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Shortly after the news broke, Martinez took to her Instagram Story to pay tribute to her ex and longtime friend.
"Been an absolute wreck today. It's really hard to understand how someone who you once shared such a specific and formative time of your life with can all of a sudden be gone," the Voice alum wrote. "He was so dedicated to his art which I admired and respected so deeply."
"I think everyone who knew him will look back at those moments of laughter and joy he so easily sparked," she continued. "His laugh was so contagious and warm. His ability to lead creatively and take action while also maintaining a sense of childlike wonder and awe was so inspiring. He had such a soft heart and was a true artist in every way."
Martinez concluded, "Rest in peace Oliver. I know you're making the angels giggle. I'll be here wondering what stunt and creative project you're scheming up in heaven."

Prior to confirming their romantic relationship in September 2019, Martinez and Tree were friends who frequently interacted with each other on social media.
By mid-2020, signs of a split began to surface. In July of that year, Martinez unfollowed Tree on Instagram, and both artists deleted photos of each other from their profiles, fueling breakup speculation among fans.
In May 2021, Martinez addressed the situation directly in an Instagram Story, confirming that she and Tree had ended their relationship but remained on good terms. In August 2023, Martinez posted a statement on her Story asking her fans to stop sending hate towards Tree.
“Can you guys do me a favor and leave @olivertree alone… we ended things mutually years ago and on good terms,” Martinez wrote at the time. "Please be nice, and stop spreading false information. I already told you guys we ended things mutually years ago and on good terms. I've said before how much it upsets me when you guys bully people on the internet. please stay positive and be kind toward one another ?."
Tree was best known for his hit songs like “Life Goes On” and “Miss You." His 2020 album Ugly Is Beautiful reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums charts, and he received Kids’ Choice Award nominations for Favorite Social Music Star in both 2022 and 2023.
