Lauren Miller’s husband, Kevin Miller, brought their infant son home from the hospital after the Real Housewives executive’s tragic death during childbirth.
“Kevin is delighted to share that baby Jackson is out of the NICU and at home with his dad and sister,” an Thursday, June 12, update on a GoFundMe campaign set up to support Lauren’s family read. “[Kevin says that] 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.”
The fundraiser, organized by Lauren’s colleague Sherri Pender, noted that Kevin has been “so deeply touched by everyone’s generosity and kindness” in the wake of Lauren’s death.
Lauren died on Monday, June 9, shortly after giving birth to the pair’s son, Jackson. She is survived by Kevin and their two children: Emma, 3, and Jackson, 4 days.
“It’s been a little over 48 hours since we launched this fundraiser. As Lauren’s coworkers, we are all truly blown away by the depth and breadth of the response,” Pender added in her Thursday update. “As we cope with our own grief, it has been so incredibly touching to see how this fundraiser has spread. We blew past our first target and are quickly approaching the second. A heartfelt thanks to everyone for donating and for spreading the word to your wider networks.”
She added, “Today, we were contacted by a charity that offers baby formula and diapers to families after a maternal loss. They can also connect Kevin with support groups. He has a long road ahead and we want to make sure we are there for him throughout.”
Kevin broke his silence on Lauren’s death in the comments of a Shed Media announcement. (Lauren worked for Shed, which produces several Bravo shows such as The Real Housewives of New York City and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.)
“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,” Kevin wrote via Instagram comment on Friday, June 13. “Please pray for our family and thank you all for the prayers, kind words and thoughts. God bless.”
Several Real Housewives stars, including Tamra Judge, Heather Gay and Sai de Silva, also offered their condolences.
“Prayers for her family and friends,” Judge, 57, replied. “This is absolutely heartbreaking.”
A cause of death has not yet been publicly shared.
