The Bravo family is mourning the unexpected death of Lauren Miller, a widely admired executive who worked on The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Miller died on June 9, shortly after delivering her and her husband Kevin Miller’s baby boy, Jackson. The loss has stunned colleagues, friends, and fans who knew her as a steady, joyful force behind the scenes.
Shed Media—the production company behind many Bravo titles—shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, writing that the team was devastated by Lauren’s sudden passing so soon after Jackson’s birth. They noted that she leaves behind Kevin, their 3-year-old daughter, Emma, and newborn Jackson, and invited the community to contribute to a fundraiser to help Kevin as he steps into the role of sole provider. The company emphasized that motherhood was Lauren’s greatest pride and that supporting her children’s well-being would be the most meaningful way to honor her.
Three days after Lauren’s passing, colleague Sherri Pender posted an update on GoFundMe on Kevin’s behalf. She confirmed that Jackson had been discharged from the NICU and was safely home with his father and big sister. Remarkably, at just four days old, he was feeding well, sleeping soundly, and already bright-eyed and engaged—hopeful news amid profound grief.
Those who worked with Lauren describe her as exceptionally kind, genuine, and collaborative—someone who radiated warmth and made every room feel lighter. Beyond her professional talents, she was devoted to her family. Friends say the moments she cherished most were the everyday milestones with Kevin, Emma, and, most recently, Jackson.
Lauren’s sudden loss has created a void that words can’t fill. While nothing can erase the pain, the community is rallying around the Millers. The GoFundMe organized by friends and colleagues is intended to ease immediate burdens and provide practical support for Kevin and the children as they navigate life without her. Contributions of any size, along with messages of condolence, are deeply appreciated by the family and all who loved Lauren.
