Sebastian tragically died in Dubai in July 2021 after drowning, just days before his 30th birthday. It was later confirmed that he died of a heart attack.

Speaking in a statement at the time, Chris paid tribute to his late son.

He said: "Never did I ever imagine I would write these words or experience the feeling I now have at the loss of my son."

"My family and I are devastated to hear of the death of Sebastian just days before what would have been his 30th birthday.

He added: “I rejoice for my son. I’m sad, I’m on television now so I’ve got to be objective. I’m not going to break down.”

“The physical, I will never get over. No parent can get over. You’ve invested all this time, from birth to 29, all this time, all this energy, all this love and then he’s gone. You can’t get recover from that,” he said.

Shortly after Sebastian died, Chris Jr shared a picture of himself alongside his brother, writing: "I haven’t cried since I was 12 years old… yesterday I cried the whole day.

"I’m sorry I wasn’t there to watch your back like a big brother’s supposed to. Can’t believe you’re really gone man but you’ll always be in my heart, mind & spirit."
