But she failed to pull through and died from her injuries on Wednesday (10 Apr) night.

Gabriel also sustained serious injuries in the collision.

He is still being treated in the ICU of the same hospital.

The motorcycle the pair were on was destroyed in the crash, as reported on Need to Know.

The Jeep driver was within the speed limit and was driving in the correct lane at the time of the smash.

He told local media: “It was a terrible scene. I was returning home and was surprised by a motorcycle in front of me.”

It wasn’t the first bike accident the couple had been involved in.

A video shared with Natieli’s 6,000-plus Instagram followers on 18 March, shows her filming as Gabriel performs a wheelie at speed.

The clip cuts to the motorbike lying damaged on the road later on.

It then cuts again to Natieli and Gabriel resting in a living room with nasty scrapes all over their limbs.

Gabriel wrote to his 36,500 Instagram followers on Saturday (13 Apr): “I love you, my love.

“Our year together was amazing. What we went through was incredible.

“We never fought. It was all love and affection. I always did my best to make sure you were happy.

“Know that I will always love you and that your baby here did nothing intentionally, I swear. I love you.”
