As a devoted admirer, I’m deeply saddened to share that Eden Blackman, beloved from Celebs Go Dating, passed away at the tender age of 57 following a prolonged illness. His family has confirmed this heartbreaking news.

Blackman gained prominence as one of the initial dating consultants featured on the E4 reality show, where he worked alongside relationship experts Nadia Essex and Tom Read-Wilson.

I was deeply saddened to learn of his passing, as shared through a heartfelt post on his official Instagram account, written by his loved ones.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our cherished Eden, who left us on June 21st, 2025, following a lengthy battle with illness. She displayed remarkable courage and dignity throughout her struggle.

Eden sparkled his way through life, combining wit, playfulness, and an unmatched personal flame, radiating charisma, fashion-forward, quick-witted, breathtakingly attractive, and constantly ready for excitement. The narrative went on.

He advocated for individuals with genuine warmth, humor, and motivation, constantly aiming to make others feel recognized at their finest moments.

Experiencing Eden was like getting drawn into an exciting spiral – lively, spontaneous, vibrant, and brimming with energy. He towered with grace, roared with joy, and lived in a way that was uniquely his own. His essence will forever be with us.
