Lauren Miller, executive assistant at Shed Media—the production company behind Bravo’s Real Housewives—passed away on June 9 2025 following the birth of her son, Jackson.
The company confirmed the news on Thursday in a heartfelt statement on Instagram: “It is with devastated hearts that we share that our beloved colleague, Lauren, died unexpectedly just moments after giving birth to her baby boy. Of all the things Lauren loved most, being a mother was at the top.”
Miller is survived by her husband, Kevin, their three-year-old daughter, Emma, and newborn Jackson, who was discharged from the NICU on Thursday. Kevin described Lauren as “the love of my life” and wrote: “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 every day. Please pray for our family.”
Tributes from across the reality television world poured in. Tamra Judge of The Real Housewives of Orange County called the news “absolutely heartbreaking.” Heather Gay of RHOSLC, Sai De Silva of RHONY, and Jackie Christie of Basketball Wives responded with messages of love and support.
A GoFundMe campaign created to support the Miller family has already raised over $132,000. The campaign statement describes her as “intentional and kind,” adding, “The hole Lauren has left in her family is one that can never be filled.”
Shed Media colleagues remembered her for her compassion, sincerity, and dedication to her family. In a Thursday update, Kevin shared that baby Jackson is healthy and “so alert and attentive already at just 4 days old.”
