‘KEEPING US SAFE’

‘Real Housewives’ Assistant Dies in Childbirth

Lauren Miller worked on the New York and Salt Lake City iterations of the franchise.

An executive assistant who worked on the New York and Salt Lake City iterations of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise has died in childbirth. The announcement was made by Shed Media, the production company that produces the franchise. In a post on the company’s Instagram, it explains that Lauren Miller tragically passed away moments after giving birth to her son, Jackson. Miller had worked for Shed Media for almost nine years and is survived by her husband, Kevin, and 3-year-old daughter Emma. In a comment on the post, Miller’s husband Kevin wrote, “Lauren is truly the love of my life and I will miss her every moment of every day. She lives on through her children and we have peace knowing she is in heaven with God looking down on us and keeping us safe and filled with love.” A GoFundMe set up to support the family has raised more than $135,000. A Thursday update to the GoFundMe page noted that Jack, who had originally been placed in the NICU, was at home with his father and big sister. “[Kevin says that] he has been an angel and has eaten and slept like a champ,” read the update. “He is so alert and attentive already at just 4 days old.”
