Grant made a tribute to the late Ivan with an Instagram post.
A picture shows Grant hugging Ivan in what seems to be a restaurant.
The couple was smiling to the camera.
Grant captioned the post: "Ivan Bart, 1963 - 2023", followed by a broken heart emoji.
The Instagram photo got dozens of comments in the first few hours of publication.
One person wrote: "Words don’t suffice… this is the saddest news ever. Still processing your phone call today. Sending you all my love."
Another commented: "We will always remember that beautiful smiling face that kayaked across Little Fresh Pond and into our lives.
"Grant, I hope you feel the embrace of the community that you and Ivan built together. Our hearts are broken."
"So very sorry Grant. What a beautiful photograph of you two. Ivan the Legend may you rest in peace. All my love," a third follower replied.
The tributes come after the ex-president of IMG Models died after a short illness over the weekend.
Mark Shapiro, the president of Endeavor, announced that Ivan Bart, 60, had died, per Women’s Wear Daily.
In an email to employees, he said: “'It is with overwhelming sadness and deep regret that I share that Ivan Bart, long-time president of IMG Models and a trailblazer in the fashion industry, passed away over the weekend,' he wrote in an email to the company's employees.
“During the course of three decades at IMG Models, Ivan quite literally changed the shape and face of the modeling industry from within.”
In his lengthy tribute, Shapiro described Bart as courageous and said: "He saw beauty in all its forms."
Bart first joined IMG Models as an agent in 1994 before becoming the company's president in 2014.
IMG signed Ashley Graham and she became the first plus-size model to appear on both British and American Vogue magazines.
