A Real Housewives executive has passed away in the most heartbreaking way.
It’s with heavy hearts we report that Lauren Miller, who served as an executive on both Real Housewives of New York City and Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, died while giving birth to her son on June 9. Shed Media, which produces multiple Bravo shows, revealed the news in a somber Instagram post on Wednesday:
“It is with devastated hearts that we share that our beloved colleague, Lauren, died unexpectedly just moments after giving birth to her baby boy.”
So, so incredibly tragic. The production company continued:
“Lauren leaves behind her husband, Kevin, 3-year-old daughter, Emma, and newborn son, Jackson. Please consider donating to help Kevin take on this unexpected role as sole provider of the family. Of all the things Lauren loved most, being a mother was at the top and ensuring that her children are being taken care of would mean everything to her.”

In the comments, Kevin paid tribute to the “love of [his] life” while asking for prayers:
“Lauren is the love of my life and I was blessed by God that she chose to spend her life with me and give me two beautiful children to remember her every minute of everyday. Please pray for our family and thank you all for the prayers, kind words and thoughts. God bless.
”
We’re so heartbroken. 
Several Real Housewives stars, including Heather Gay, Tamra Judge, Sai de Silva, and Jackie Christie of Basketball Wives also took to the comments to share their condolences.
In a GoFundMe set up by Sherri Pender, shared more beautiful words about the kind of person Lauren was:
“Anyone that knew Lauren was affected by her warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature. She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart. She was sincere, intentional and compassionate, but among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own. From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family.”
According to the page, “Any dollar you can donate will be used to provide financial support as the grieving family adjusts to this new reality. Your contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated.”
As of now, over $146k has been raised. You can visit the fundraising page HERE.
In an update on Thursday, it was revealed Jackson survived and was released from the NICU to go home with Kevin. Thank goodness.
Our hearts are with Lauren’s loved ones during this heartbreaking time. Rest in peace.
