A grieving adult model has revealed how she copes following the sudden death of her father, admitting she 'brings him everywhere' with her.

Madelynn May was absolutely heartbroken when her father, Patrick, passed away last year at the age of just 57.

The 23-year-old, who works as an adult star, says she has found peace in bringing his ashes everywhere with her, from X-rated content shoots to road trips.

"I’m currently on a week-long road trip across the country and dad’s urn is here with me, right now. I like including him – dead or alive," she said.

"We’ve been on podcasts, Instagram photoshoots, collaborations in California — he’s coming along for all of it."

Madelynn admits that some people find it bizarre that she brings her father along with her to saucy photoshoots, but she says she 'loves it' and insists her dad was her biggest supporter.

“I like the idea of dad being with me because he was always the biggest supporter of my career," she said.

“Some parents judge their kids; my dad was all-in. He was my best friend, so he gets a front seat to my life – even if it has to be from an urn."

Patrick passed away suddenly on December 18 last year, following a short battle with cancer.

Madelynn's father, who regularly appeared in social media videos with her, was unwell for two weeks and died just three days after receiving his cancer diagnosis.

"It’s been really hard, he was my best friend – we were with each other all the time," Madelynn admitted.

"We would do TikToks together, and I’d be like, ‘Hey, Dad, do you support me?’ And he’d be like, ‘Yeah, I support all your work, I watched all your TikToks, I’m so proud of them, I love them, you’re the best TikToker in America’.

“We went viral so many times – we probably have billions of views together.”

Now, Madelynn has a hectic work schedule that sees her travel away from home for several weeks at a time, and she says she felt it would be 'rude' to leave her father behind.

"Dad and I made our last TikTok together on December 8," she said. "Ten days later, he was gone. I’m glad that I have the videos of us to rewatch whenever I miss him and that the whole world gets to enjoy his sparkle.

"But I can’t just leave the urn in my house alone for a month. Grief looks different for everyone.

"It just feels weird and rude to leave him – so I don’t. I get to have my dad with me, and he gets to spend his days surrounded by sexy adult models – I think he’d love it."
