Lauren Miller has tragically died at age 43.
The U.S. TV boss was a long-running executive on Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises, working on the Salt Lake City and New York City series.
She was the executive assistant to the senior vice presidents of programming and development, and co-head of the company, holding the role for almost nine years.
Tributes have poured in following the devastating news of Miller’s passing.
One follower writes: “Prayers for her family and friends. This is absolutely heartbreaking.”
Another adds: “Sending my deepest condolences and prayers. My heart aches for the family. Heaven gained a beautiful angel.”
“Prayers for y’all,” somebody else comments. “I’m so very sorry.”
A fourth person says: “Omg I’m so heartbroken for her family. God bless them all and may she rest peacefully.”
Miller’s devastated husband, Kevin, confirmed that the 43-year-old died after giving birth to her son, named Jackson.
A statement from Shed Media reads: “It is with devastated hearts that we share that our beloved colleague, Lauren, died unexpectedly just moments after giving birth to her baby boy.”
In his own tribute, Kevin added: “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 every day.
“Please pray for our family, and thank you all for the prayers, kind words, and thoughts. God bless.”
A GoFundMe page has been launched in Miller’s honor, with a goal of $150,000. The fundraiser aims to ‘provide financial support as the grieving family adjusts to this new reality.’
A statement on the GoFundMe page reads: “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 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.”
Miller’s husband has brought home their infant son from the hospital. It’s said he ‘has been an angel and has eaten and slept like a champ. He is so alert and attentive already at just four days old.’
