“Kayla and I both wish to keep this matter private for many reasons.”
The “Real Housewives” community is mourning the loss of one of their own.
Lauren Miller, who worked as an executive assistant on “Real Housewives of New York City” and “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” died unexpectedly June 9 after giving birth to her second baby.
Her death was announced by her employer, Shed Media, in a June 12 Instagram post.

“Lauren leaves behind her husband, Kevin, 3-year-old daughter, Emma, and newborn son, Jackson,” Shed Media wrote in an Instagram caption alongside photos 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,” the caption continued.
Miller’s husband, Kevin, described her as the “love of my life” in the comment section.
“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,” his comment read.
According to a joint Instagram post by Shed Media and podcast host Kate Casey, Miller was a “valued member” of the Shed Media team for “nearly nine years.”
Miller’s husband also left a comment under Casey’s post.
“I will miss her every moment of everyday. 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,” he wrote.
In addition to “RHONY” and “RHOSLC,” Miller worked on Paris Hilton’s Peacock series “Paris in Love.”

On June 10, several of Miller’s colleagues created a GoFundMe page to help support her family.
In the GoFundMe description, Miller was remembered for her “warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature” and described her as someone who “always spoke from the heart.”
“She was sincere, intentional and compassionate, but among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family,” her colleagues added.
In a June 12 update, they revealed that the couple’s newborn son, Jackson, was released from the NICU and is now home with his father and sister.
“He has been an angel and has eaten and slept like a champ. He is so alert and attentive already at just 4 days old,” they wrote in the update, which included photos of the newborn.
“Real Housewives” cast members were quick to show their support for Miller’s family online.
“RHONY” star Sai De Silva described the news as “heartbreaking” under Casey’s June 13 post, while fellow “RHONY” star Jessel Taank described it as “unimaginable.”
