The 27-year-old was crowned at the 2023 competition, just days before she found out her father was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer. Taking to social media this morning, the model shared a carousel of photographs with the caption: 'Rest in Peace Dad.'

'You've taught me strength, determination, and the meaning of hard work-not just through words but by living it every day. 'You are the kind of man I only pray to find again in this world. I'll spend my life looking for pieces of you in every corner, in every moment and in myself. 'All I want is to make you proud. That will always be enough for me,' she said. 'I adore you dad happy Father's day.' Jasmine previously told the Irish Mirror her father was given 'three to six months to live' following his diagnosis. 'He's doing really, really well,' she said in July 2024. 'He made a decision to stop chemo there a month ago and he's taken a different route with it. He's changed his diet, he's gone very organic… it seems to be working,' she added. The Law graduate was due to appear at the Miss Ireland 2025 final this weekend to hand over her tiara to the winner, Caoimhe Kenny, but she was not in attendance. Rudolf Gerhardt and his wife Sharon own Rudy's Restaurant in Blanchardstown. His funeral details are yet to be confirmed.
