AMERICAN-German actress Brittney Powell had been living with the late Verne Troyer when the actor passed away.
Here's what we know about the Safety Geeks star...
Who is Brittney Powell?
Brittney Powell, 43, was born in West Germany.
Her acting career began in 1991 when she starred in Playboy: Girls of Spring Break, and things went from strength-to-strength from there.
She has starred in over 25 different television shows including Friends, NCIS, Tarzan and Safety Geeks.
It's unclear exactly how long she and Verne were together, though photos suggest they first met during the 1990s and may have started dating in 2015.
That year the couple starred in Celebrity Wife-Swap where Brittney switched places with Hines Ward's wife.
At the time of Troyer's death, he was living with Powell and her son Tyson, from a previous marriage.
On Wife Swap, the couple revealed Brittney "took the lead" on parenting Tyson who had "free range" to come and go as he pleased.
Who was Verne Troyer?
On April 21, Verne passed away at the age of 49.
He was an American actor who was notable for his height which was caused by achondroplasia dwarfism.
This never stopped Verne from achieving great heights - he was best known for playing Mini-Me in the Austin Powers series and he also starred in British film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as Griphook the Goblin.
Brittney has not yet released a statement about Verne's untimely death.
