Real Housewives' Lauren Miller passes away moments after delivering a baby
In a heartbreaking twist of fate, Lauren Miller, the well-loved executive assistant on The Real Housewives of New York City and Salt Lake City, died suddenly on June 9 — mere moments after delivering her second child, a baby boy named Jackson. This devastating news was confirmed by the production company behind the show, Shed Media, in a tearful Instagram announcement that has since invited a flood of grief and sympathy from fans, colleagues, and Bravo stars.
Lauren, a familiar and beloved backstage presence for Bravo's reality powerhouse, was married to Kevin Miller. The two had a 3-year-old daughter, Emma, and were celebrating the arrival of their infant son, when the happiness of new life was brutally ended, leaving a family devastated and a community grieving.
It is with saddened hearts that we announce that our dear friend, Lauren, passed away unexpectedly just seconds after delivering her baby boy," Shed Media said in their official statement. "Lauren was a shining light, a rock to the team, and a close friend.
Lauren worked hand in hand with the Senior Vice Presidents of Programming and Development at Shed Media, working closely on every aspect of production. Her professionalism and warmth won her many friends among cast and crew. She became close to many Bravo stars, a number of whom voiced their distress on social media. Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge said, "Prayers for her family & friends. This is absolutely heartbreaking." Heather Gay (RHOSLC) and Sai de Silva (RHONY) merely posted broken-heart emojis, indicating the shared sorrow of the Bravo family.
Earlier today, Lauren's husband Kevin spoke out publicly about the tragedy for the first time, ending his silence with a message of love and an announcement regarding their newborn son, Jackson. Though the baby is said to be healthy, Kevin is now left to imagine raising two young children on his own without his wife.
In aid of the mournful family, friends and co-workers started a GoFundMe page, which rapidly reached more than $132,000. The description of the fundraiser depicts Lauren as a woman whose heart was full of compassion and whose happiness in starting her own family was transparent to all those who were close to her. "It was no secret how close she was to her whole family or how excited she was when she got to start her own," the campaign stated. "This unthinkable loss cannot be understood, and the void Lauren left in this world and in her own family is one that will never be filled."
With more tributes coming in, the Bravo tribe and fans worldwide recall Lauren Miller not only for what she did, but for who she was — a woman who exuded love, commitment, and warmth wherever she went.
She leaves behind her husband Kevin, daughter Emma, and new baby son Jackson. Rest in peace.
