The fourth wife of legendary singer Frank Sinatra was 90 years old when she died, following "declining health" in recent years.

The former model spent 22 years with the My Way singer, after marrying him in 1976.

He sadly passed away from a heart attack in 1998 at the age of 82.

John Thoresen, director of the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center, reported to CNN that Sinatra died of natural causes. The Las Vegas showgirl was surrounded by family and friends at her home in Rancho Mirage, California.

She was the last of Sinatra’s four wives, their partnership being the longest lasting of the Fly Me To The Moon singer’s marriages.

She first met her future husband when she was asked to be a doubles partner with his second wife, Ava Gardner. 

Frank remained friendly with all of his previous wives, something that Barbara said never bothered her. 

"A very wise French lady once said to me: 'You never worry about old flames. You worry about new ones,'", Barbara previously said.

During her life, she raised funds and rallied support for a number of charities – most notably, the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center at Eisenhower Medical Center.
