Mary Cosby’s Son Dies Ahead of RHOSLC Season 7 Filming

The production of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City’s seventh season began under a cloud of tragedy, as Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Cosby Jr., passed away just one night before cameras were scheduled to roll. The 23-year-old’s death, which occurred in February 2026, has fundamentally shifted the tone of the upcoming season.

Lisa Barlow, a longtime cast member, described the loss as an exceptionally difficult experience that forced the group to confront grief in real time. During an appearance on Radio Andy, Barlow noted that the cast found a sense of unity through the tragedy, praising Mary Cosby for her resilience. While cameras were not permitted inside the funeral service, Barlow described the ceremony as a deeply moving and beautiful experience, a sentiment echoed by Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards, who was also in attendance to offer support.

The funeral drew a wide circle of reality television figures, including Meredith Marks, Heather Gay, Whitney Rose, Bronwyn Newport, Angie Katsanevas, and Britani Bateman, alongside Atlanta veterans Sheree Whitfield and Cynthia Bailey. Andy Cohen also expressed his condolences on Watch What Happens Live, acknowledging the public nature of the family's struggle. Robert Jr. had previously shared his battle with addiction during season 5, speaking openly to his mother about his history with substance use. Following his passing, Mary Cosby publicly thanked her supporters, stating that her son had been called home and that her faith remained her primary source of strength during the mourning process.
