Candice Miller returned to social media with a poignant message nearly one year after the death of her husband, Brandon Miller.
“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,” Candice wrote via Instagram. “And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”
Alongside the message, the Mama & Tata influencer shared a photo of the sun peaking through cloudy skies over a body of water.
News broke in July 2024 that Brandon died. His death was later ruled to be a suicide. (Candice and Brandon tied the knot in 2009 and later welcomed two daughters.)
After his death, a spokesperson for the family said in a statement to The New York Times, “Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate, and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy.”
Months later, court documents obtained by The New York Times revealed that Brandon was $33.6 million in debt at the time of his death. Candice claimed that her husband died without a will, leaving her in debt and only $8,000 in her bank account.
Candice, who initially deactivated her social media after Brandon’s death, claimed in the docs that he owed more than $20 million in unsecured loans from UBS Bank, BMO Bank and American Express.
In January, Page Six reported that Candice began auctioning off her husband’s belongings. Multiple items were listed on the website Auction Ninja, featuring an “exclusive curated online auction” sale at the Mecox Bay Water Mill Estate, per the outlet.
“The auction features a carefully selected collection of fine art, furniture, decor, and bespoke pieces that were part of the home’s decor, providing an exclusive chance to own a piece of this stunning, meticulously crafted living space,” a description of the auction items read. “For collectors and design enthusiasts, this is an unmissable opportunity to acquire rare, beautifully curated items with the unique touch of a celebrated designer.”
Page Six also reported in January that Candice was moving forward after Brandon’s death by attending parties, various events and dinners after relocating to Miami Beach, Florida.
